OBJECTIVES: •Express square of trinomials as a square of binomials; and •Solve quadratic equations by completing the square.
COMPLETING THE SQUARE To complete the square of the expression 𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥, add the square of half the coefficient of 𝑥 to make 𝒙 𝟐 +𝒃𝒙 + 𝒃 𝟐 𝟐 .
Complete the square. 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟖𝒙 + ______ 𝒙 𝟐 + +𝒃𝒙 + 𝒃 𝟐 𝟐 − 8 2 = −4 (−4)2 = 16 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟖𝒙 + 𝟏𝟔 (𝒙 − 𝟒) 𝟐
Complete the square. 𝒙 𝟐 + 𝟑𝒙 + ______ 𝒙 𝟐 + +𝒃𝒙 + 𝒃 𝟐 𝟐 3 2 = 3 2 3 2 2 = 9 4 𝒙 𝟐 + 𝟑𝒙 + 𝟗 𝟒 𝑥 + 3 2 2
Express each of the following perfect square trinomials as a square of a binomial. 1. 𝑥2 + 4𝑥 + 4 (𝑥 + 2)2 2. 𝑥2 + 12𝑥 + 36 (𝑥 + 6)2 3. 𝑥2 − 10𝑥 + 25 (𝑥 − 5)2 4. 𝑥2 − 5𝑥 + 25 4 (𝑥 − 5 2 )2
𝑥2 + 10𝑥 = 3 𝑥2 + 10𝑥 + ______ 10 2 = 5 (5)2 = 25 𝑥2 + 10𝑥 +25 (𝒙 + 𝟓) 𝟐 𝑥2 + 10𝑥 + 25 = 3 + 25 Add 25 to both sides of the equation Express the PST on the left side of the equation as square of binomial. (𝑥 + 5)2 = 28 Solve the resulting QE by extracting the square root. 𝑥 + 5 = ± 28 Solve each equation. 𝑥 + 5 = 2 7 𝑥 + 5 = −2 7 𝑥 = −5 + 2 7 𝑥 = −5 − 2 7 𝑥 + 5 = ±2 7 28 = 4 ∙ 7 = 2 7
𝑥2 − 3𝑥 = 1𝑥2 − 3𝑥 + ______ − 3 2 − 3 2 2 = 9 4 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 + 9 4 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 + 9 4 = 1 + 9 4 Add 9 4 to both sides of the equation Express the PST on the left side of the equation as square of binomial. x − 3 2 2 = 13 4 Solve the resulting QE by extracting the square root. 𝒙 − 𝟑 𝟐 𝟐 𝑥 − 3 2 = ± 13 4 𝑥 − 3 2 = ± 13 2
Solve each equation. 𝑥 − 3 2 = 13 2 𝑥 − 3 2 = − 13 2 𝑥 = 3 2 + 13 2 𝑥 = 3 2 − 13 2 𝒙 = 𝟑 + 𝟏𝟑 𝟐 𝒙 = 𝟑 − 𝟏𝟑 𝟐 𝑥 − 3 2 = ± 13 2

Solve each equation. 𝑥 + 5 2 = 3 2 𝑥 + 5 2 = − 3 2 𝑥 = − 5 2 + 3 2 𝒙 = −𝟏 𝑥 + 5 2 = ± 3 2 𝑥 = − 2 2 𝑥 = − 5 2 − 3 2 𝒙 = −𝟒 𝑥 = − 8 2
2𝑥2 − 3𝑥 − 9 = 0 Add 9 16 to both sides of the equation Express the PST on the left side of the equation as square of binomial. Solve the resulting QE by extracting the square root. 2𝑥2 − 3𝑥 = 9 Divide the terms by 2. 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 2 = 9 2 − 3 2 2 = − 3 2 ∙ 1 2 = − 3 4 − 3 4 2 = 9 16 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 2 + 9 16 𝒙 − 𝟑 𝟒 𝟐 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 2 + 9 16 = 9 2 + 9 16 𝑥 − 3 4 2 = 81 16 𝑥 − 3 4 = ± 81 16 𝑥 − 3 4 = ± 9 4
