(x - 5)(x - 11)
Y=(x+8)^2-5
(the shape is an upside down 'u').
x2 + 48x + 320
8x2 + 16x + 8 = 8*(x2 + 2x + 1) = 8*(x + 1)2
Half of the coefficient of x, squared. For example: x2 + 16x -3 you would add 8^2. Then you would have: x2 +16x +8^2 = 3-8^2 Which leads to: (x+8)^2 = -61
In the absence of signs I have assumed the term in 16x and 60 are negative: ie x2 - 16x = -60 or x2 - 16x + 60 = 0 Factors of 60 which total -16 are -6 and -10, so (x - 6)(x - 10)
(x-5)(x+11)
x2+16x-80 = 0 (x-4)(x+20) = 0 x = 4 or x = -20
x2-16x+48 = (x-4)(x-12) when factored
(x - 7)(x - 9)
x(x + 4)(x - 4) or x3 - 16x
