Which of the following tables shows the correct steps to transform x2 + 6x + 8 = 0 into the form (x − p)2 = q? [p and q are integers] A. Step 1 x2 + 6x + 8 − 1 = 0 − 1
Step 2 x2 + 6x + 7 = −1
Step 3 (x + 3)2 = −1
B. Step 1 x2 + 6x + 8 + 1 = 0 + 1
Step 2 x2 + 6x + 9 = 1
Step 3 (x + 3)2 = 1
C. Step 1 x2 + 6x + 8 − 2 = 0 − 2
Step 2 x2 + 6x + 6 = −2
Step 3 (x + 3)2 = −2
D. Step 1 x2 + 6x + 8 + 2 = 0 + 2
Step 2 x2 + 6x + 10 = 2
Step 3 (x + 3)2 = 2
