  • Completing the square is a powerful technique used to:
    1. Solve quadratic equations
    2. Find the vertex form of a quadratic function
    3. Graph quadratic functions
    It involves rewriting a quadratic expression in the form:
    ax^2 + bx + c = (x + d)^2 + e
    By doing so, we create a perfect square trinomial, which allows us to easily identify the vertex and roots of the quadratic function.
    The steps to complete the square are:
    1. Move the constant term to the right-hand side
    2. Divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it
    3. Add and subtract the result from step 2 on the left-hand side
    4. Factor the perfect square trinomial
    Example: Complete the square for x^2 + 6x + 8
    x^2 + 6x + 8 = (x + 3)^2 + 8 - 9
    = (x + 3)^2 - 1
    Now we have the vertex form, which reveals the vertex (h, k) = (-3, -1) and the axis of symmetry x = -3.
    Completing the square has many applications in mathematics, physics, and engineering, such as:
    1. Solving quadratic equations and inequalities
    2. Graphing quadratic functions
    3. Finding the maximum or minimum of a quadratic function
    4. Modeling real-world phenomena, like projectile motion
