Complete the square to transform the quadratic equation into the form (x – p)2 = q. x2 - 12x - 5 = 7 a) (x - 36)2 = 9 b) (x - 6)2 = 48 c) (x - 36)2 = -9 d) (x - 6)2 = -48

(may i have an explanation or work that you did)

B

Step-by-step explanation:

given

x² - 12x - 5 = 7 ( add 5 to both sides )

x² - 12x = 12

To complete the square

add (half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 6)x + (- 6)² = 12 + (- 6)²

x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 = 12 + 36 ← complete the square on the left side

(x - 6)² = 48 → B
