  1. 9.1 Completing the Square and the Quadratic Formula

  2. 1. 2. Solve.

  3. Often times we are not able to a quadratic equation in order to solve it. When this is the case, we have two other methods: completing the square and the quadratic formula. • By learning how to the we can force a quadratic expression to factor. factor complete square

  4. Steps for Solving a Quadratic by Completing the Square • 1. Add or subtract the constant term to the other side (if necessary). • 2. Check to make sure the coefficient of is . If not, factor out the coefficient of and divide both sides of the equation by this number. • 3. Take of b, square it, and add it to sides. • 4. Make the left side a square of a binomial (example: ). • 5. Simplify the right side. • 6. Take the square root of each side. (make sure to use ). • 7. Solve for x. 1 half both ±
