complete the square to transform the quadratic equation into the form (x – p)2 = q. x2 - 8x - 10 = 18
a) (x - 8)2 = 14
b) (x - 4)2 = 44
c) (x - 8)2 = -14
d) (x - 4)2 = -44

B:  (x - 4)² = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with x^2 - 8x - 10  =  18.

Simplify the constants by adding 10 to both sides:  x^2 - 8x - 10 + 10 = 18 + 10.

Then x^2 - 8x = 28.

Now identify the coefficient of x.  It is -8.  

Take half of this, obtaining -4.

Square this result, obtaining 16.

Add 16, and then subtract 16, to x^2 - 8x:

x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16 = 28.

Add 16 to both sides:

x^2 - 8x + 16 = 28 + 16 = 44

Rewrite x^2 - 8x + 16 as (x - 4)², so that we have:

(x - 4)² = 44.  This is in the form (x - p)² = 44, and matches Answer B.

Note:  Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:  (x - 4)^2 = 44

spinning a 1, 2, or 3. option d.

step-by-step explanation: when spinning a number graph up to 4, and aiming for any number less than 3, that automatically eliminates the number 4. now you have two numbers to spin on that are less than 3, but the number 3 is included in this question because it's no greater of an number than itself. i hope this you : )
