complete the square
y = 5(x^2 - 8x + ....) + 78
= 5(x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16) + 78
= 5( (x-4)^2 - 16) + 78
= 5(x-4)^2 - 80 + 78
= 5(x-4)^2 - 2
take over ....
What's my next step??
We could write our answer in the form
y+2 = 5(x-4)^2
take a look at

half-way down the page at example 3
and follow the steps.
thank you!
