    Completing The Square

    Uploaded by

    Justine Paul Torres
    This document discusses completing the square to solve quadratic equations. It provides examples of creating perfect square trinomials by adding the square of half the coefficient of the linear term. The steps to complete the square are outlined: 1) isolate the quadratic term, 2) take half the coefficient and square it, 3) factor into a perfect square trinomial, 4) take the square root of both sides, 5) solve the resulting linear equations. Completing the square allows quadratic equations to be solved even when factors cannot be easily found.

    Completing the

    Square
    Many quadratic equations contain
    expressions that cannot be easily factored.
    For equations containing these types of
    expressions, you can use square roots to
    find the roots.
    Sometimes you may have to round the
    roots, so they are no longer square roots,
    they are rounded roots!
    Perfect Square Trinomials

     Examples
     x2 + 6x + 9
     x2 - 10x + 25
     x2 + 12x + 36
    Creating a Perfect
    Square Trinomial

     In the following perfect square trinomial, the


    constant term is missing.
    X2 + 14x + ____

     Find the constant term by squaring half the


    coefficient of the linear term.
     (14/2)2
     X2 + 14x + 49
    Perfect Square Trinomials

     Create perfect square


    trinomials.
     x2 + 20x + ___ 100
     x2 - 4x + ___ 4
     x2 + 5x + ___
    25/4
    Solve the following equation by completing the
    square:

    Step 1: Move quadratic term, and linear term to


    left side of the equation

    x 8x 20  0
    2

    x 8x  20
    2
    Step 2: Take half of the middle
    (B) term. Square it, and add it
    to both sides of the equal sign.

    x 8x 
    2
    =20 +
    1
    (8)  4 then square it, 42 16
    2

    x 2  8 x  16  20  16
    Step 3: Factor the perfect square trinomial
    on the left side of the equation. Simplify the
    right side of the equation.

    x  8 x  16  20  16
    2

    (x+4)(x+4) = 36
    (x + 3)2 (
    + 3)(x + 3) or (x + 3)2
    Step 4: Take the square root of
    each side

    (x 4)  36
    2

    (x 4) 6
    Step 5: Solve both equations

    x 46
    x  46 and x 46
    x 10 and x=2
    To complete the square of the
    expression x + bx, add

    Example. x2 – 8x

     

     
     8 2
    x2 – 8x + = x2 – 8x + 16
    2

    = (x – 4)2
    Ex. x2 + 10x = 24

    x + 10x + 5 = 24 + 5
    2 2 2 Add  10 2
    2
    to both
    sides
    x2 + 10x + 25 = 49

    (x + 5)2 = 49 Find the square root


    of both sides
    x+5= 7
    x  5  7
    x=2 or x = -12
    Ex. x2 – 2x – 3 = 0
    x² - 2x =3
