Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to transform the given x^2 - 19x + c into the form

                                                      (x - a)^2 + d

by completing the square:

1.  Take half of the coefficient (-19) of x, obtaining -19/2.

2.  Square this result, obtaining 361/4.

3.  Add this to x^2 - 19x, and then immediately subtract it:

    x^2 - 19x + c becomes x^2 - 19x + 361/4 - 361/4+ c

4.  Replace the first three terms with (x - 19/2)^2:

     x^2 - 19x + 361/4 - 361/4+ c  =>  (x - 19/2)^2 - 361/4 + c

5.  Put this into final form: (x - 19/2)^2 - (361/4 - c)
