Respuesta :

The correct steps to transform x^2 + 6x +8=0 into the form (x-p)² =q are;

x^2 + 6x +8 +1  = 0 + 1

x^2 + 6x +8 +1  = 1

x^2 + 6x + 9 = 1

(x+3)² = 1

Vertex form of a quadratic equation

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is expressed as:

a(x-h)² + k

Given the quadratic equation

x^2 + 6x +8=0

Subtract 8 from both sides

x^2 + 6x +8 - 8 = 0 - 8

x^2 + 6x  = -8

Complete the square

(x^2+6x+3^2) = -8 + 9

(x+3)² = -8 + 9

(x+3)² = 1

Hence the correct steps to transform x^2 + 6x +8=0 into the form (x-p)² =q are;

x^2 + 6x +8 +1  = 0 + 1

x^2 + 6x +8 +1  = 1

x^2 + 6x + 9 = 1

(x+3)² = 1
