Factoring: A process used to break down any polynomial into simpler polynomials. 9.5: COMPLETING THE SQUARE: Zero-Product Property: For any real numbers a and b, If ab= 0 Then a= 0 or b = 0. Complete the square: A process where x2+bx can be changed into a perfect-square trinomial by adding
Procedure: 1) Find the values of a and b. COMPLETE THE SQUARE: ax2 + bx 2) Use the formula of and add it to ax2+ bx. 3) Re-write ax2+ bx+ as a product of perfect squares.
COMPLETE THE SQUARE: Ex: What integer is needed to complete the square: x2+5x+ ___?
SOLUTION: Following the steps given 1) a = 1 and b = 5 2) (2.5) x2+5x+ (2.5) 3) x2+5x+6.25 (x+2.5)(x+2.5) (x+2.5)
FINDING THE SOLUTION: (x+2.5)= 0 Using the Zero-Product property (x+2.5)= 0 (x+2.5) = 0 X = -2.5 The solutions are x = -2.5 twice. If something happens twicewe only touch the x-axis at that point.
COMPLETING THE SQUARE: ax2 + bx = C Ex: What is the solutions of the equation: x2+6X=216
SOLUTION: x2+6X=216 1) a = 1 and b = 6 2) (3) x2+6x+(3)=216+(3) 3) x2+6x+9 (x+3)(x+3) (x+3)= 225 (x+3)= x = -3 x = -8, 2.
YOU TRY IT: Ex: What are the solutions of: r2-4r=30
SOLUTION: R2-4r=30 1) a = 1 and b = -4 2) (-2) x2-4x+(-2)=30+(-2) 3) x2-4x+4 (x-2)(x-2) (x-2)= 34 (x-2)= x = 2 x = -3.8 and 7.8
REAL-WORLD: You are planting A flower garden Consisting of 3 Square plots Surrounded by 1 ft border. The total area of the garden and the border is 100tf2. What is the side length x of each square plot?
SOLUTION: Adding an x to both sides of the picture we get: x +2 3x +2 A = b h A = (x +2)(3x +2) 100= (x +2)(3x +2) FOIL 100= 3x2+ 8x + 4
To complete the square we now put it in the ax2+bx = c form: SOLUTION: 100= 3x2+ 8x + 4 3x2+ 8x = 100 - 4 3x2+ 8x = 96 We always prefer a to be 1, so divide by 3: x2+ x =
SOLUTION: Continue 1) x2+ x = Now a = 1 , b = 2) 3) x2+ x+ = + (x + )(x+ )= +
