Document Summary

Learning packet on solving quadratic equations by completing the squares. = , you can use the method called completing the equation like x. In this method, you can express a quadratic equation in form x c which allows solve the equation by extracting roots. After completing this lesson, you must be able to: 3 0 x x: recall the concepts involving perfect square trinomials; Identify the steps in solving quadratic equations by completing the square; and: solve quadratic equations by completing the square. Important concepts, ideas, and processes: perfect square trinomial. The factored form of a perfect square trinomial is a square of a binomial. To complete a perfect square means to produce a perfect square trinomial. 2: steps in solving quadratic equation by factoring. Write the quadratic equation in the form x. If a 1 , c divide each term by . The resulting expression on the left side of the equation is a perfect square trinomial.
