<PRE><B>Question 772354</B>
Consider the quadratic equation y=8x^2-2x. Complete the square to express the quadratic in standard form y=a(x-h)^2+k.

-------------------------------------------------------

For this problem,

we will need to factor first

y = 8(x^2 - x/4)= 8(x^2 - 2(1/8)(x) + 1/64)- 1/64 = 8(x - 1/8)^2 - 1/64

Hope it helps you!
