Question

Check all that apply x^2+8x+16=2
Help me please!!

Answer 1

Your equation is already a perfect square, so we don't have to complete anything:

`x^2+8x+16 = (x+4)^2`

So, we can write the equation as

`(x+4)^2=2`

Which is true if and only if

`x+4 = √(2) \lor x+4=-√(2) \iff x = √(2)-4 \lor x = -2-√(4)`
