Complete the Square Objective I can find zeros by completing the square
Warm Up • Rewrite the following as perfect squares. • 1. x2 + 14x + 49 • ( _______)2 • 2. x2 -2x + 1 • (________)2
Our goal • What if you were asked to complete the pattern of a perfect square. • x2 + 20x + ____ • ( )2 • OYO • x2 -18x + ______ • (_______)2 This Process is called “Completing the Square” because our goal is to figure out what number you need to create a perfect square.
Not So Perfect Squares. • Some equations aren’t as easy to see what value will complete the square such as. • For these we use • (b/2)2 • Look back at the previous complete the square problems, how does the constant term of the factored binomial relate to the middle term? • What will be the factored form of this quadratic? x2 + 9x +
Find . Check It Out! Example 2c Complete the square for the expression. Write the resulting expression as a binomial squared. x2 + 3x + CheckFind the square of the binomial. Add. Factor.
Why? • We can use completing the square for two things. • Solve quadratics by means of the square root property. • Transform a function in standard form to vertex form. • For this unit we will focus on solving equations by completing the square.
