$\"y-x=32\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=x%2B32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"xy=x%28x%2B32%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"xy=x%5E2%2B32x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Complete the square,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"xy=%28x%5E2%2B32x%2B256%29-256\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"xy=%28x%2B16%29%5E2-256\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the minimum occurs when $\"x=-16\"$ and is equal to $\"-256\"$ so $\"y=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
