Question

When solving this equation by completing the square, which of the following shows the equation with the square completed?

x2 - 4x - 32 = 0
A. (x - 4)2 = 36
B. (x - 2)2 = 36
C. (x - 8)2 = 4 When solving this equation by completing the square, which of the following shows the equation with the square completed?

x2 - 4x - 32 = 0
A. (x - 4)2 = 36
B. (x - 2)2 = 36
C. (x - 8)2 = 4 @Mathematics

Answer 1

I believe there's an x missing somewhere.

Answer 2

\[x^2 - 4x - 32 = 0\]
\[x^2 -4x + 4 - 32 = 4\]
\[(x-2)^2 = 36\]

therefore the right answer is B

Answer 3

Ohhh that's a squared, not a 2 lol
