5.5 Completing the Square p. 282
What is completing the square used for? • Completing the square is used for all those not factorable problems!! • It is used to solve these equations for the variable.
Rule for Completing the Square This is now a PTS! So, it factors into this!
Example: Find the value of c that makes this a PTS, then write the expression as the square of a binomial. x2-3x+c • b=-3
Example: Solve by completing the square. x2+6x-8=0 • x2+6x-8=0 x2+6x=8 x2+6x+___=8+___ x2+6x+9=8+9 (x+3)2=17 Don’t forget: Whatever you add to one side of an equation, you MUST add to the other side!
5x2-10x+30=0 x2-2x+6=0 x2-2x=-6 x2-2x+__=-6+__ x2-2x+1=-6+1 (x-1)2=-5 3x2-12x+18=0 x2-4x+6=0 x2-4x=-6 x2-4x+__=-6+__ x2-4x+4=-6+4 (x-2)2=-2 More Examples!
y=x2+6x+16 y-16=x2+6x y-16+__=x2+6x+__ y-16+9=x2+6x+9 y-7=(x+3)2 y=(x+3)2+7 If the equation, in vertex form, is y=(x+3)2+7, then the vertex must be (-3,7). Last Example! Write the quadratic function y=x2+6x+16 in vertex form. What is the vertex of the function’s graph?
