Complete the square for:
2x² - 36x - 16
show work.

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -8 = -8

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -8  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -18 .

     -8    +    1    =    -7

     -4    +    2    =    -2

     -2    +    4    =    2

     -1    +    8    =    7

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

 2 • (x2 - 18x - 8)

i think is 3 and 6. this took me 10 min to think.hope to and hope that my answer is brainliest.(follow me )
