I need it to be factored!
Again, that's
(k+8)^2 - 1.


Thank you!

step1. apply FOIL to simplify and convert to QUADRATIC equation ..
(k + 8 ) ( k + 8) = k^2 + 8k + 8k + 64

step2 given expression become .
k^2 + 16k + 64 - 1
k^2 + 16k + 63

step3 factorise constant term 63 in such way that sum of factors is equal to coefficient of middle term (16)

we get 9 x 7 = 63 and 9 + 7 = 16
apply FLIP the FOIL method ...
(k + 9)( k + 7)

If you want to expand it, it' s k^2+16k-64-1
= k^2+16k+63.
If you want to factor it as the difference of 2
squares it' s (k+8+1)(k+8-1) = (k+7)(k+9).

(k+8)^2 - 1
=K^2 +16K+ 64 -1
=k^2 +16k +63
=(k + 9)(k + 7)

(k^2 + 16k + 64 - 1 )
k^2 + 16k + 63

now you factor it

(k + 9)(k+7)

k= -9, -7

= k² + 16k + 64 - 1
= k² + 16k + 63
= (k + 9).(k + 7)

k^2 +16k + 64 - 1

k^2 +16k +63
(k+9) (k+7)
k=-9
k=-7

HOPE THAT HELPS =)

(k+8)^2-1

k^2+16k+64-1

k^2+16k+63

(k+7)(k+9)

k=-7
k=-9
