1 Answer

You have the following expression:

x² + 6x

In order to complete the square, take into account that 6 is two times the product of the first coeffcient by the second one in the binomial (a+ b)², then, you have:

6 = 2ab

a=1 because is the coeffcient of the term with x², then for b you obtain:

b = 6/2(1) = 3

the third term of the trynomial is the squared of b.
