Question

Completing the square for the quadratic equation $x^2 - 4x + 53 = 0$ yields which equation below? $a. (x-2)^2 + 49 = 0 $ $b. (x-2)^2 - 57 = 0 $ $c. (x-2)^2 + 57 = 0 $ $d. (x-4)^2 + 49 = 0 $ $e. (x-4)^2 + 57 = 0 $

          Completing the square for the quadratic equation $x^2 - 4x + 53 = 0$ yields which equation below?
\(a. (x-2)^2 + 49 = 0 \)
\(b. (x-2)^2 - 57 = 0 \)
\(c. (x-2)^2 + 57 = 0 \)
\(d. (x-4)^2 + 49 = 0 \)
\(e. (x-4)^2 + 57 = 0 \)
