Answer:
q = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is:
[tex]2x^{2}-8x=5[/tex]
Taking 2 as common from left hand side, we get:
[tex]2(x^{2}-4x)=5\\\\2[x^{2} - 2(x)(2)]=5[/tex]
The square of difference is written as:
[tex](a-b)^{2}=a^2 - 2ab + b^{2}[/tex] Equation 1
If we compare the given equation from previous step to formula in Equation 1, we note that we have square of first term(x), twice the product of 1st term(x) and second term(2) and the square of second term(2) is missing. So in order to complete the square we need to add and subtract square of 2 to right hand side. i.e.
[tex]2[x^{2}-2(x)(2)+(2)^2-(2)^{2}]=5\\\\ 2[x^{2}-2(x)(2)+(2)^2]-2(2)^{2}=5\\\\ 2(x-2)^{2}-2(4)=5\\\\ 2(x-2)^2-8=5\\\\ 2(x-2)^{2}-8-5=0\\\\ 2(x-2)^{2}-13=0[/tex]
Comparing the above equation with the given equation:
[tex]2(x-p)^{2}+q=0[/tex], we can say:
p = 2 and q= -13
