Answer:

[tex](x-1)^{2}=8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]x^{2} -2x-7=0[/tex]

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

[tex]x^{2} -2x=7[/tex]

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

[tex]x^{2} -2x+1=7+1[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} -2x+1=8[/tex]

Rewrite as perfect squares

[tex](x-1)^{2}=8[/tex]

therefore

[tex]h=1, c=8[/tex]

Answer:
