To complete the square, we need to rewrite the equation in the form (x + p)^2 = q.

Starting with x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0, we can find p by taking half of the coefficient of x and squaring it:
p = 2/2 = 1
p^2 = 1^2 = 1

Now we add and subtract p^2 inside the parentheses:
x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 - 8 = 0
(x + 1)^2 - 9 = 0

The equation is now in the form (x + p)^2 = q, where p = 1 and q = -9. We can solve for x by taking the square root of both sides:
(x + 1)^2 = 9
x + 1 = ±√9
x + 1 = ±3

Now solve for x:
x = -1 + 3 = 2
x = -1 - 3 = -4

Therefore, the solution is x = 2 or x = -4.

To complete the square and solve the quadratic equation x^2 - 22x + 1 = 15, follow these steps:

Step 1: Move the constant term (15) to the right side of the equation:
x^2 - 22x = 15 - 1
x^2 - 22x = 14

Step 2: Take half of the coefficient of x (-22/2 = -11) and square it:
(-11)^2 = 121

Step 3: Add the result from Step 2 to both sides of the equation:
x^2 - 22x + 121 = 14 + 121
x^2 - 22x + 121 = 135

Step 4: Rewrite the left side of the equation as a perfect square:
(x - 11)^2 = 135

Step 5: Take the square root of both sides of the equation:
x - 11 = ± √135

Step 6: Simplify the square root of 135 to get two possible solutions:
x - 11 = ± √(9 * 15)
x - 11 = ± √9 * √15
x - 11 = ± 3 * √15

Step 7: Solve for x by adding 11 to both sides of the equation:
x = 11 ± 3 * √15

Therefore, the quadratic equation x^2 - 22x + 1 = 15 can be solved by completing the square, and the solutions are x = -11 + 3√15, -11 - 3√15.

To solve the quadratic equation x^2 - 6x - 16 = 0 using the quadratic formula, we have:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)

For the equation x^2 - 6x - 16 = 0, the coefficients are:
a = 1
b = -6
c = -16

Substituting these values into the quadratic formula, we get:
x = (-(-6) ± √((-6)^2 - 4(1)(-16))) / (2(1))
x = (6 ± √(36 + 64)) / 2
x = (6 ± √100) / 2
x = (6 ± 10) / 2

This gives us two possible solutions:
x = (6 + 10) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8
x = (6 - 10) / 2 = -4 / 2 = -2

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation x^2 - 6x - 16 = 0 are x = 8 and x = -2.

To find the solution to the quadratic equation 2x^2 - 5x = 6, we can rearrange the equation to be in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0:

2x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0

Now we can use the quadratic formula to find the solution:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)

In this case, a = 2, b = -5, and c = -6. Substituting these values into the formula:

x = (-(-5) ± √((-5)^2 - 4(2)(-6))) / (2(2))
x = (5 ± √(25 + 48)) / 4
x = (5 ± √73) / 4

The solutions are x = (5 + √73) / 4 and x = (5 - √73) / 4.

Now we can evaluate these solutions and round them to the nearest hundredth:

x ≈ (5 + √73) / 4 ≈ 1.03
x ≈ (5 - √73) / 4 ≈ -1.03

Therefore, the solution to the quadratic equation 2x^2 - 5x = 6 is approximately x = 1.03 and x = -1.03.

To determine the number of real solutions for the quadratic equation 4x^2 + x + 3 = 0, we can use the discriminant formula. The discriminant (D) is given by D = b^2 - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the equation.

In this case, a = 4, b = 1, and c = 3. Substituting these values into the discriminant formula, we have:
D = (1)^2 - 4(4)(3)
D = 1 - 48
D = -47

Since the discriminant is negative (D < 0), the quadratic equation 4x^2 + x + 3 = 0 has no real solutions. Therefore, the answer is: no real solutions.
