X^2-10x+c

I think the question is: find the value of C to complete the square! Am I right?

OpenStudy (s_ortizx3):

Yes

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

\[(x-5)^2+c-25\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

To complete the square, you need to check that first, please!

Tranquility:

If you're trying to make x^2-10x+c into a perfect square trinomial To find the value of c, divide the middle coefficient by 2 and square it. Do note that this only works if the coefficient in front of x^2 is 1. Remember that the form for a perfect square trinomial is a^2 + 2ab + b^2 and that this can be factored to (a+b)^2.
