Because we need to know how to solve this by completing the square. Its in curriculum. You can use quadratic formula as well for factorization but in the test they will specify by saying that solve the follwing by completing the square thats why you need to know this method as well.
Yes it does but we need to know this concept because in the test they gonna specify by saying solve the following by completing the square and there no marks would be awarded for using the quadratic formula. I totally get that its quite frustarting but trust me its even frustrating during the test when you dont know how to slove the damn question. 😩
Because in these questions we need to have 'x' on its own. We know we write 1x as x. We can continue only if we have a 1 by x. But now that we had a 3 and a 2 by x which made it 3x & 2x.... Thats why we divided everything with what the number was by x to get x alone. In this way we got X on its own and were able to continue further. I hope it made sense.
Or maybe if you meant that why did we took the middle number and divided by 2 & squared it.... That was one of the main steps of this concept.... In order to factorise by completing the square we had to divide the middle term by 2 and square it. I hope this comment helped. ✨
I double checked and the answer in the video is correct. Please double check and then let me know if you get it correct or if you are still struggling.
At first I was confused , but Kevin explains so well
Rewatching the video for a better understanding is always best 👌
Exaclty what I was struggling with😂. But after watching sir Kevin. I feel like I own the freaking Equation.🎉
Shout out to this guy for carrying my whole school's marks
Nice 😊
Same 😂
School? Hey baba S.A. yonke
thanks,now i have a better understanding
Awesome :)
Me preparing 2025 mathematics grade 11 during December 🥶
Chop rice
Thank you sir 🙏🏽
Mr Kevin you are the best!!!!!!!
A few hours before l ace that test 🎉
Thanks Kevin , you're the best honestly
How come this is the first time I am hearing this 😢 I meant I didn't even know it existed 😭😭
Weve also neva done this before and i sont know if i should learn it for tmr 😭🖐
thanx kevin this helped alot
Thank you sir.
Just the video i was looking for😂
Thank you very much💯
You’re welcome 😊
Starting this minutes before the test🫠
Please do the ones for solving expressions by completing the square
thank you
3:07 where did the 3x go ?
Thank you so much :)
what's the point of this method of 'completing the square' if there's a much simpler formula (the quadratic formula)?
Sometimes the question will want you to use completing the square only
why cant i use quadratic formula?

i do not understand at first we adding (the number in the middle÷2)² then subtracting .....now why are we only adding to both sides?
Exactly!!
here preparing for next week😭
what would happen if you were to take the 20 over in the first step in number 3
Nothing wrong with that. Will still get the correct answer if you do the steps correctly :)
bruh just use the quadratic formula it works and it saves sm of time

What happened to the 3x?
Why are you dividing some with 2 and others with 3?

Nice emoji! :)
His here to save us😅
number 4 is wrong
I double checked and the answer in the video is correct. Please double check and then let me know if you get it correct or if you are still struggling.
