Meaning, find the missing term of y to make this into perfect square trinomial.

Constant term is 0%2B-+%284%2F10%29%5E2. The original square would be %28y-4%2F10%29%5E2.

You can work forward from that to find the missing term of the quadratic expression. -%284%2F10%29y-%284%2F10%29y=highlight%28-%288%2F10%29y%29.
