1. Sec 5.5 – Completing the Square: Day 1 Review: Square each of the following binomials. 1)(x + 7) 2 2)(x – 5) 2 (x + 7)(x +7) x 2 +7x +7x +49 x 2 +14x +49 (x – 5)(x – 5) x 2 -5x -5x +25 x 2 -10x +25 3)4)(x + y) 2 (x + y)(x + y) x 2 +xy +xy +y 2 x 2 +2xy +y 2

2. PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL What is the square root of the third term? Multiply each by ±2x What did you find?

3. A trinomial is a PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL if: the middle term is ±2(x)(square root of third term) the middle term is ±2(x)(square root of third term) If third term is 121, middle term should be ±22x. If third term is 121, middle term should be ±22x. If third term is 9/16, middle term should be ±3/2x. If third term is 9/16, middle term should be ±3/2x.
