Complete the square to transform the quadratic equation into the form (x − p)2 = q.

x2 + 20x – 104 = -8

A) (x – 10)2 = 196
B) (x + 10)2 = 96
C) (x – 20)2 = 96
D) (x + 20)2 = 196

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
