Question

COMPLETING THE SQUARE
X^2– 2x +

Answer 1

x^2 -2x + 1

Explanation:

Think of a quadratic equation as

ax^2 + bx + c

x^2 -2x +

Comparing the two equations

a = 1 , b = -2, c = ?

c becomes the missing part

Divide b by 2

-2/2 = -1

square the result

-1^2

= 1 this is what to add to get a perfect square

x^2 -2x + 1

(x - 1)^2
