Answer:
(x-2)^2-2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-4x+2
take the x out
x(x-4) + 2
(x-2)^2-2
because (x-2)^2 is
x^2-4x+4
its like completing the square
Answer:
(x-2)² -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider that (a+b)² = a²+2ab+b²
To find the form (x-A)²+B compare x²-4x+2 with a²+2ab+b²
x² - 4x +2
a² + 2 a b+ b², so a= x and b = (-2)
x²+ 2· x ·(-2)+ (-2)² - 2 = (x-2)² -2 is in the form (x-A)²+B
Check our answer:
(x-2)² -2= (x²-2·2x+4)-2 = x²-4x +2 ✅
