Some help me before my math grade drops lower than my self-esteem. Cedric completed the square for the quadratic expression 5x^2−40x+15 in order to determine the minimum value of the expression, as shown.
Step 1: 5(x^2−8x+3)
Step 2: 5(x^2−8x+16−16+3)
Step 3: 5((x+4)^2−16+3)
Step 4: 5((x+4)^2−13)
Step 5: 5(x+4)^2−65
What mistake, if any, did Cedric make?
(Primavera needs to get canceled)
