1) To complete the given squares, we'll have to work
according to the formula:
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab +
b^2
(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab +
b^2
We'll analyze the first
expression
x^2-14x+_
We'll
identify a^2 = x^2 => a = x
To calculate b, we'll
consider the second term of the square:
-14x =
-2*a*b
-14x = -2*x*b
We'll use
the symmetric property and we'll divide by 2x:
b =
-7
Now, we'll complete the square by adding the amount
b^2.
b^2 = (-7)^2
b^2 =
49
(a+b)^2 = (x-7)^2
The
missing term in the quadratic expression is
49:
(x-7)^2 = x^2 - 14x +
49
2) We notice that the missing term is
b^2.
We'll identify a^2 = 9x^2 => a = sqrt 9x^2
=> a = 3x
9x^2-30x+_
To
calculate b, we'll consider the second term of the
square:
-30x = -2*a*b
-30x =
-2*3x*b
-30x = -6x*b
We'll
divide by 6x:
b = -5 => b^2 =
25
The missing term in the quadratic expression is 25 and
the completed square will be:
(3x-5)^2 =
9x^2-30x+25
3) We notice that the missing
term is 2ab.
We'll identify a^2 = 25x^2 => a = sqrt
25x^2 => a = 5x
b^2 = 36y^2 => b = sqrt 36y^2
=> b =
6y
25x^2+_+36y^2
2ab =
2*5x*6y
2ab = 60xy
The missing
term in the quadratic expression is 60xy and the completed square will
be:
(5x+6y)^2 = 25x^2 + 60xy +
36y^2
4) We notice that the missing term is
2ab.
We'll identify a^2 = 9x^4/25 => a = sqrt
9x^4/25 => a = 3x^2/5
b^2 = 25x^2/9 => b =
sqrt 25x^2/9 => b =
-5x/3
9x^4/25-_+25x^2/9
-2ab =
-2*3x^2*5x/5*3
-2ab =
-2x^3
The missing term in the quadratic expression is -2x^3
and the completed square will be:
(3x^2/5 -
5x/3)^2 = 9x^4/25- 2x^3 + 25x^2/9
5) We
notice that the missing term is 2ab.
We'll identify a^2 =
x^2 => a = sqrt x^2 => a = x
b^2 = 1/4
=> b = sqrt 1/4 => b =
1/2
x^2+_+1/4
2ab =
2x/2
2ab = x
The missing term
in the quadratic expression is x and the completed square will
be:
(x + 1/2)^2 = x^2+ x
+1/4
