Answer:

c.(x+1)^2=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Completing the square:

We use the following relation:

[tex](x + a)^{2} = x^{2} + 2ax + a^{2}[/tex]

In this question:

[tex](x + a)^{2} = x^{2} + 2ax + a^{2} = x^{2} + 2x + a^{2}[/tex]

We have to find a.

[tex]2a = 2[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]a = 1[/tex]

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

Thus, we have to add 1 on the right side of the equality.

We end up with:

[tex](x+1)^{2} = 9 + 1[/tex]

[tex](x+1)^{2} = 10[/tex]

So the correct answer is:

c.(x+1)^2=10
