Hoe Do You Factor By Completing The Square

Solve by completing the square.X^2-18x-4=0?

ok, add 4 on both sides
x^2 -18x=4
so the formula to find the square is (b/2)^2
so add 81 on both sides
x^2 -18x +81= 85
(x+9)^2=85
so find the square root of both sides
x+9=+ sqrt 85 and - sqrt 85
so x=9+ sqrt 85 and 9 - sqrt 85

How do i factor by completing the square?

x⁴ − 10x²y⁴ + 9y⁸
= (x²)² − 6x²y⁴ − 4x²y⁴ + (3y⁴)²
= (x²)² − 2(x²)(3y⁴) + (3y⁴)² − 4x²y⁴
= (x² − 3y⁴)² − 4x²y⁴
= (x² − 3y⁴)² − (2xy��)²
= (x² − 3y⁴ + 2xy²) (x² − 3y⁴ − 2xy²)
= (x² + 2xy² − 3y⁴) (x² − 2xy² − 3y⁴)
= (x−y²)(x+3y²)(x+y²)(x−3y²)
= (x−y²)(x+y²)(x−3y²)(x+3y²).

How do I factor x^2-38x+c by completing the square?

ok dude, they are asking you to complete the square for x2 - 38x

by the way, i hate typing the ^ thing, so the 2 AFTER the letter means "squared"

anyway, when you square the binomial (a - b)2, you get a2 - 2ab + b2

in other words, the number in the middle is TWICE as much as the numbers in front of the a and the b multiplied together.

there is a "1" understood in front of the x2 so the original number in front of the x must also have been a "1" because the square root of 1 is one. if there had been a 9 in front of the x2, then the original number in front of the x would have been square root 9, or 3... ok?

the 38 is TWICE the product of the original a and b numbers, so the product of the a and b numbers is 19, or half of 38.

since the x number is 1, the "a" number is 1 and the "b" number has to be 19, because 1 x 19 = 19.

so the original binomial was (x - 19)2

another example,

lets say you had to complete the square of 9x2 - 24x

for the reason explained above, the original x number is square root 9, or 3

for the reason explained above, the product of the 2 numbers is half 24, or 12

so, 3 times what = 12? the answer is 3 x 4

so the original binomial was (3x - 4)2

hope you get it now :-)))

3x² - 12x + 11 = 0 ; solve by completing the square?

Move the constant term (number by itself) to the right side.
3x^2 - 12x = -11

Factor out the first-term coefficient from the first two terms.
3(x^2 - 4x) = -11

Complete the trinomial square; for the last term of it divide the second-term coefficient by 2 (4/2 = 2) and square it (2^2 = 4). This times the number outside of the parentheses is being added to the left side of the equation; add it to the right side, also.
3(x^2 - 4x + 4) = -11 + 3*4
3(x - 2)^2 = -11 + 12

3(x - 2)^2 = 1
(x - 2)^2 = 1/3
x - 2 = +/- sqrt (1/3)
x = 2 +/- sqrt (1/3)
sqrt (1/3) = sqrt 1 / sqrt 3; multiply numerator and denominator each by sqrt 3 to rationalize the denominator
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,= (sqrt 1 * sqrt 3) / (sqrt 3 * sqrt 3)
..............= (sqrt 3) / 3

x = 2 +/- [(sqrt 3) / 3]

Here's what you are asking for:

X^2 - 3X - 88 = 0

Tanspose the constant to the other side

X^2 - 3X = 88

Complete the squares that are missing in the (?)

X^2 - 3X + (?) = 88 + (?)

( 9/4) seems the missing square

X^2 - 3X + (9/4) = 88 + (9/4)

Simplifying and factoring the left side of the equation

.....................(4)88 + 9
(X-3/2)(X-3/2) = -------------
..........................4

........................361
(X-3/2)(X-3 /2) = ------
...........................4

Extracting the square root of both sides

(X- 3/2) = 19/2
X - 3/2 = 19/2
.........X = 19/2 + 3 /2
............= 22 /2
..........X = 11

Solve x 2 + 10x + 7 = 0 by completing the square.?

Since 5 is one half of the 10x coefficient, the square needs to be 5 squared to complete it. Add 18 to both sides to get:

x^2 + 10x + 25 = 18

Factor to:

(x + 5)^2 = 18

take the square roots of both sides:

x + 5 = +- sqrt(18)

Subtract 5 from both sides:

x = -5 +- sqrt(18)

Split the sqrt(18):

x = -5 +- sqrt(9)sqrt(2)

Simplify:

x = -5 +- 3sqrt(2)

Move the constant to the right-hand side:y^2 + 12*y = -4add the square of one-half the coefficient of the y term to each side. One half of 12 is 6, so add 36y^2 + 12*y +36 = 32this becomes(y+6)^2 = 32Take square roots:y+6 = + or - sqrt(32) = + or - 4*sqrt(2)Subtract 6:y = -6 +4*sqrt(2) or y = -6–4*sqrt(2)

I am not sure what you really want to ask, but assuming you need the answer of the mentioned quadratic equation , I will provide you with its explanation.When you have a quadratic equation as ax^2+bx+c so to find the value of 'x' or so called the roots of the equation there is a very old traditional formula for this and that is calledSHRIDHARACHARYA  formulawhich states that for any quadratic equation the value of its roots can be found out by x={-b+(b^2-4*a*c)^(1/2)}/2*a       orx={-b-(b^2-4*a*c)^(1/2)}/2*aNow for your equation i.e 2x^2-11x+1=0a=2;b=-11;c=1put these values in the equation of the dharacharya and you will get the answer.x={-(-11)+((-11)^2-4*2*1)^(1/2)}/2*2solve this x={11+(121-8)^(1/2)}/4x={11+(113)^(1/2)}/4similarly the other root can also be found out..

Solve the equation p2 + 4p = 1 by completing the square. Show your work.?

we need to put in the form

(p + d)^2 = ?

1. expand left hand side

p^2 + (2d)p + d^2

2. take your formula and add d^2 to both sides

p^2 + 4p + d^2 = 1 + d^2

3. compare left-hand-side of both functions and solve for d

p^2 + 4p + d^2
p^2 + (2d)p + d^2


2d = 4
d = 2

4. plug d into formula

p^2 + 4p + d^2 = 1 + d^2
p^2 + 4p + 4 = 5

(p + 2)^2 = 5
