    Completing The Square Factoring

    Uploaded by

    Umema Fatima
    The document discusses factoring polynomials by completing the square. It provides examples of factoring quadratic expressions into perfect square trinomials by taking half the coefficient of the linear term, squaring it, and adding and subtracting it from the expression. The steps to factor a quadratic expression using this method are: 1) Take half the coefficient of the linear term and square it, 2) Add and subtract this value just after the linear term, and 3) Group the first three terms into a perfect square trinomial and factor. The document also provides practice problems for solving quadratic equations using this method.

    FACTORING QUADRATICS BY
    COMPLETING THE SQUARE

    Factor by completing
    the square:
    x 2 +8x - 20

    Step 1: First take the


    coefficient of the linear
    term, divide it by 2,
    and then square it. This
    gives 16 - (8/2)2 x 2 +8x - 20

    THE SQUARE

    Step 2: Add and subtract 16 just after


    the linear term. Therefore, you did
    not change the value of the
    expression.

    x +8x +16 - 16+20

    Step 3: Use brackets to group the first


    three terms – This is your perfect
    square trinomial.

    (x +8x +16)- 16+20

    Step 3: Factor the perfect square
    trinomial and simplify the rest.

    (x +8x +16)- 16+20

    • Step 1: First take the coefficient of the linear


    term, divide it by 2, and then square it.
    • Step 2: Add and subtract 16 just after the
    linear term. Therefore, you did not change
    the value of the expression.
    • Step 3: Use brackets to group the first
    three terms – This is your perfect square
    trinomial.
