x2 + 8x - 2 = 0 => x2 + 8x = 2 => x2 + 8x + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18 => (x + 4)2 = 18 => x + 4 = +or- sqrt(18) = +or- 3*sqrt(2) so x = -4 +or- 3*sqrt(2)
(x-y)2 is a square so (x-y)2 >= 0 expanding, x2 - 2xy + y2 >= 0 so x2 + y2 >= 2xy or 2xy <= x2 + y2
x2+6x-7 = 0 (x+3)2-7 = 0 (x+3)2-7-9 = 0 (x+3)2 = 16 x+3 = + or - 4 x = - 3 + or - 4 x = 1 or -7

Twenty-Five x2 + 10x = 8 x2 + 10x + 25 = 8 + 25 (x + 5)2 = 33
ask jesus.
(x+8)^2=105
No because the discriminant of the given quadratic expression is less than zero.
X2+11x+11 = 7x+9 X2+11x-7x+11-9 = 0 x2+4x+2 = 0 Solve as a quadratic equation by using the quadratic equation formula or by completing the square: x = -2 + or - the square root of 2
y = x2 - 6x + 2 y = x2 - 6x + 9 - 7 y = (x - 3)2 - 7
x2 + 6x = 7 ⇒ x2 + 6x + 9 = 7 + 9 ⇒ (x + 3)2 = 16 ⇒ x + 3 = ±4 ⇒ x = -7 or 1
x2 + 20x +0 =30 [(20/2)2 =100] x2 + 20x + 100 =30 +100 √(x+10)2=√130 x+10=√130 x= −10+√130 √ means square root
Plus or minus the base. If the base is X and you square it, you get X2. If you take the square root of that, you get Plus or Minus X. This is because X*X equals X2 and -X*-X also equals X2.
Since there are only terms in x2 and constants, but none in x, completing the square is not an option! x2 - 14 = 7 x2 = 21 and so x2 = sqrt(21)
No.
square root of (x2 + 1) = no simplification (square root of x2) + 1 = x + 1
If you aren't dealing with algebra, such as x2+3x+21, then completing the square wont be able to solve the porblem, however if you are using algebra, and you cannot factorise, then completing the square will always work
