Answer:
A. 36, -36
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 - 12x - 5
steps to complete the square
add a 5 to both sides to move the constant
x^2 - 12x = 5
Then take -12, the coefficient of the variable and divide by 2 and square.
12/2 = 6, 6^2 = 36
Then add 36 to both sides.
x^2 - 12x + 36 = 5 + 36
Then subtract the 5 and 36 from both sides.
x^2 - 12x + 36 - 36 - 5
