9. Perfect Square Trinomials l Create perfect square trinomials. l x 2 + 20x + ___ l x 2 - 4x + ___ l x 2 + 5x + ___ 100 4 25/4

10. Steps to solve by completing the square 1.) If the quadratic does not factor, move the constant to the other side of the equation Ex: x²-4x -7 =0 x²-4x=7 2.) Work with the x²+ x side of the equation and complete the square by taking ½ of the coefficient of x and squaring Ex. x² -4x 4/2= 2²=4 3.) Add the number you got to complete the square to both sides of the equation Ex: x² -4x +4 = 7 +4 4.)Simplify your trinomial square Ex: (x-2)² =11 5.)Take the square root of both sides of the equation Ex: x-2 =±√11 6.) Solve for x Ex: x=2±√11

11. Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Solve the following equation by completing the square: Step 1: Set quadratic equation equal to zero

12. Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Step 2: Find the term that completes the square. Add that term that is equal to zero into the equation. X 2 + 8x + ____ + _____ -20 = 016 -16

13. Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Step 3: Factor the terms that create the perfect square trinomial. Simplify the other 2 terms of the equation. X 2 + 8x + ____ + _____ -20 = 016 -16 (x + 4)(x + 4) - 36 = 0 (x + 4) 2 - 36 = 0 Note: This is vertex form of the equation y =(x + 4) 2 - 36

14. Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Step 4: Move the constant term and isolate the square binomial. (x + 4) 2 - 36 = 0 (x + 4) 2 = 36

24. Completing the Square-Example #2 Solve the following equation by completing the square: Step 1: If the lead coefficient is not 1, factor the lead coefficient from the a and b terms. 2x 2 + 12x - 5 = 0 2(x 2 + 6x) - 5 = 0

25. Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Step 2: Find the term that completes the square. (remember add in zero) The quadratic coefficient must be equal to 1 before you complete the square, so you must divide the first 2 terms by the quadratic coefficient first. 2(x 2 + 6x + ___) +___ - 5 = 0 9

26. Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Step 2: What makes out of the parenthesis zero? 2(x 2 + 6x + ___) +___ - 5 = 0 9 -18

27. Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Step 3: Factor the perfect square trinomial in the equation. Combine the other two terms. 2(x 2 + 6x + ___) +___ - 5 = 0 2(x + 3) 2 - 23 = 0 9 -18

28. Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square Step 4: Move the constant to the right side of the equation and solve. Isolate the perfect square Take the square root of both sides
