Completing the Square<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

An equation in which one side is a perfect square trinomial can be easily solved by taking the square root of each side.
\nConsider the example at the right:<\/p>\n

\"Complete-the-Square-1\"<\/p>\n

It is this method of solution that is the basis of a process called “completing the square”.<\/p>\n

Consider the equation<\/strong>: .<\/p>\n

\"Complete-the-Square-2\"<\/p>\n

Our solution strategy will be to “force” a perfect square trinomial of the form<\/p>\n

\"Complete-the-Square-3\"<\/p>\n

on the left hand side of the equation.
\nThis method of “forcing” the existence of a perfect square trinomial is completing the square.<\/p>\n

Steps for Completing the Square<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Complete-the-Square-4\"<\/p>\n

Examples: Solve each example by completing the square.<\/p>\n
