Are you sure your question is right ???

anonymous · Answer

I think you are missing $u$ somewhere in your question...

anonymous · Answer

Is not it like this :

$$u^2 - (2)(8)u +82$$

anonymous · Answer

u2 - 16u + 64 = u2 - (2)(8) + 82
they are saying the answer is  = (u - 8)2  or (u - 8) squared
U squared minus 16U + 64 = U squared - 2 times 8 + 8 squared

anonymous · Answer

I am not understanding this at all

anonymous · Answer

Sorry I cant figure out how to add equations thanks anyway

anonymous · Answer

$$u^{2} - 16u + 64 \implies u^2 - 8u - 8u + 64 \implies u(u-8) - 8(u - 8)$$

$$\implies \color{blue}{(u-8)^2}$$
