For this case we have the following polynomial:


n ^ 2 + 36n + c

To find the value of c that completes the square, we use the following equation:


c = (\frac {b} {2}) ^ 2

Where,

  • b: coefficient of the variable of degree 1

Substituting values we have:


c = (\frac {36} {2}) ^ 2\\c = (18) ^ 2\\c = 324

Answer:

the value of c that completes the square is:


c = 324
