4B Complete The Square-Quadratic Equations

Solve the following quadratics equation by completing the square...

x² + 12x + 8= 0

• x = -6 ± 2√7

• x = 6 ± 2√7

• x = 28 ± √6

• x = -28 ± √6

What is one of the solutions to this equation?
(2x - 1)² = 49

• 7
• -7
• -4
• -3

Solve the equation by completing the square and then finding the roots. 
x²+ 6x - 4 = 36

• x = -7, 7
• x = 4, -10
• x = -4 +- √7
• x = 10, -4

Which equation shows  $x^2+8x+9=0$  after the method of completing the square has been applied?

•  $\left(x+2\right)^2=-5$  

•  $\left(x+4\right)^2=7$  

•  $\left(x+8\right)^2=55$  

•  $x^2=-\left(8x+9\right)$  

What is the 1^st step in solving a Quadratic Equation using Completing the Square

• Divide b by 2

• Square root both sides

• Make sure the equation equals 0

• Get the variable terms on one side by themselves

What do you do to the b value to correctly complete the square?

• square it
• divide it by 2 and square the result
• divide it by 2 and take the square root of the result
• divide it by 2 only

What is the first step to solving THIS equation by completing the square?
a² + 10a + 21 = 0

• Set the equation equal to zero
• Divide 10 by 2 and add the result to both sides
• Add a² and 10a together
• Subtract the 21
