The values of a and b from the equation is -10 and 32
Given the equation expressed as [tex]x^2+ ax + b = (x - 5)^2+ 7[/tex]
Expand the right side of the equation to have:
[tex]x^2+ ax + b = (x - 5)^2+ 7\\x^2+ ax + b = x^2 -10x + 25 + 7[/tex]
Simplify the result to have:
[tex]x^2+ ax + b = x^2 -10x + 32[/tex]
Compare both sides of the equation:
ax = -10x
a = -10
Similarly;
b = 32
Hence the values of a and b from the equation is -10 and 32
