Perfect Square Trinomials 100 4 25/4
How to “Complete the Square” Solve the following equation by  completing the square: x 2  + 8x – 20 = 0 Step 1:  Move quadratic term, and linear term to left side of the equation x 2  + 8x = 20
Step 2:  Find the term that completes the square on the left side of the equation.   Add that term to both sides. x 2  + 8x +  ?  = 20 +  ? x 2  + 8x +  16  = 20 +  16 8/2 = 4 4 2  = 16
Step 3:  Factor the perfect square trinomial on the left side of the equation.  Simplify the right side of the equation.
Step 4:   Take the square root of each side and solve. x = 10  or  x = -2
Example #2 2  2  2
Step 2:  Find the term that completes the square on the left side of  the equation.   Add that term to both sides. x 2  – 7/2 + 49/16  = -6 + 49/16 x 2  – 7/2 + 49/16  = -96/16 + 49/16 x 2  – 7/2 + 49/16  = -47/16 ½ * 7/2 = 7/4 (7/4) 2  = 49/16
