Answer:
Matt should have factored out the leading coefficient 2 on the second step before completing the square
Explanation:
To complete the square, you must first factor the leading coefficient from the first two terms.
y = 2x² − 10x − 4
y = 2 (x² − 5x) − 4
y = 2 (x² − 5x + 25/4 − 25/4) − 4
y = 2 (x² − 5x + 25/4) − 25/2 − 4
y = 2 (x − 5/2)² − 33/4
