Solving Quadratic Equations BY Completing The Square

This document outlines the steps for solving quadratic equations by completing the square. The steps are: (1) rewrite the equation in standard form, (2) make sure the coefficient of x^2 is 1, (3) take half the coefficient of x, square it and add it to both sides, (4) factor the left side into a perfect square trinomial, (5) take the square root of both sides to find the solutions. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the process.

c. 2. Add the result to both sides of the equation.


c. 3. The number added to both sides of the
equation serves as the constant term of the trinomial
on the left side. This makes the left side of the
equation a perfect square trinomial.
