Answer:

c=100

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, it would really help if the coefficient of x^2 is 1 which is so formula for c in this case is just (b/2)^2

So (-20/2)^2

simplifying gives

(-10)^2

100

c=100

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on making the equation a perfect square

Given ;

[tex]x^2 - 20x + c[/tex]

To get c;

[tex]c=(\frac{b}{2} )^2[/tex]

where ;

[tex]b= -20[/tex]

[tex]c= (\frac{-20}{2} )^2 = 10^2 = 100[/tex]
