1 4-6 Completing the Square Content Standard Reviews A.REI.4. Solve quadratic equations y... completing the square... Ojectives To solve equations y completing the square To rewrite functions y completing the square Can you write the area of your square in two ways? How can you use pieces like these to form a square with side length 1 3 (and no overlapping pieces)? Show a sketch of your solution. How many of each piece do you need? Eplain. MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES Forming a square with model pieces provides a useful geometric image for completing a square algeraically. Lesson Vocaulary completing the square Essential Understanding Completing a perfect square trinomial allows you to factor the completed trinomial as the square of a inomial. You can solve an equation that contains a perfect square y finding square roots. The simplest of this type of equation has the form a 5 c. How is solving this equation like solving a linear equation? You isolate the variale term. Prolem 1 Solving y Finding Square Roots What is the solution of each equation? A B d Rewrite in a 5 c form. S d Isolate. S d Find square roots. S 5 4!10 1.

2 Prolem Determining Dimensions D IC AC ES AM YN TIVITI Dynamic Activity Completing the Square STEM Architecture While designing a house, an architect used windows like the one shown here. What are the dimensions of the window if it has 766 square inches of glass? Step 1 Find the area of the window. The area of the rectangular part is ()() 5 in.. The area of the semicircular part is p pr 5 p Q R 5 p in.. So, the total amount of glass used is p in.. Step Solve for. p Q 1 8 R Is the answer reasonale? Yes; the rectangular part is aout in.. This leaves enough glass for the semicircle p8 < 434 Write the equation in a 5 c form. Isolate. Find square roots. Use a calculator. Length cannot e negative. So the rectangular portion of the window is 34 in. wide y 68 in. long. The semicircular top has a radius of 17 in.. The lengths of the sides of a rectangular window have the ratio 1.6 to 1. The area of the window is 8.4 in.. What are the window dimensions? Sometimes an equation shows a perfect square trinomial equal to a constant. To solve, factor the perfect square trinomial into the square of a inomial. Then find square roots. Prolem 3 Solving a Perfect Square Trinomial Equation What is the solution of ?

3 If 1 is not part of a perfect square trinomial, you can use the coefficient to find a constant c so that 1 1 c is a perfect square. When you do this, you are completing the square. The diagram models this process. Key Concept Completing the Square You can form a perfect square trinomial from 1 y adding Q R. 1 1 Q R 5 Q 1 R Why do you want a perfect square trinomial? You can factor a perfect square trinomial into the square of a inomial. Prolem 4 Completing the Square What value completes the square for 10? Justify your answer. 10 Identify ; 510 Q R 10 5 Q R 5 (5) 5 5 Find Q R Add the value of Q R to complete the square ( 5) Rewrite as the square of a inomial. 4. a. What value completes the square for 1 6?. Reasoning Is it possile for more than one value to complete the square for an epression? Eplain. Key Concept Solving an Equation y Completing the Square 1. Rewrite the equation in the form 1 5 c. To do this, get all terms with the variale on one side of the equation and the constant on the other side. Divide all the terms of the equation y the coefficient of if it is not 1.. Complete the square y adding Q R to each side of the equation. 3. Factor the trinomial. 4. Find square roots. 5. Solve for.
