4. Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. 4x2 + 8x – 32 = 0

A. 2.65, 3
B. 2, –4
C. 2, –10
D. –52, 44

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² + 8x - 32 = 0 ( divide through by 4 )

x² + 2x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

x² + 2x = 8

To complete the square

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

x² + 2(1)x + 1 = 8 + 1

(x + 1)² = 9 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 1 = ± = ± 3 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

x = - 1 ± 3

Then

x = - 1 + 3 = 2

x = - 1 - 3 = - 4
