Solving Qe Completing The Square

Here are the steps to solve quadratic equations by completing the square: 1. Write the equation so the terms with variables are on the left and the constant is on the right: x2 + 8x - 9 = 0 2. Multiply the coefficient of x by itself and square the product: (8)2 = 64 3. Add the square of half the coefficient of x to both sides: x2 + 8x + 4 = -9 + 4 4. Group the left side into a perfect square trinomial: (x + 4)2 = -5 5. Take the square root of both sides: x + 4 = ±√-5 6. Solve the resulting linear
