Quadratic Equations by
Completing the Square
SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS BY COMPLETING THE SQUARE

o It is used when the quadratic


equation is factorable or not.
o The main task in using this method
is to produce a Perfect Square
Trinomial then, use the Square Root
Property to solve the equation.
SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS BY COMPLETING THE SQUARE

o Perfect Square Trinomial- polynomials


that can be factored into the square
of a binomial.
o Square Root Property- taking the
square root of both sides of the
quadratic equation.

Steps: Example:
1. Making the left side free of the 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 3 = 0
1 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 = −3
constant term. 2 𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4 = −3 + 4
2. Making the left side a PST and 3 𝑥+2 2 =1
applying Addition Property of 4 𝑥+2 2 = 1
Equality. 𝑥 + 2 = ±1
3. Factoring the PST and
5
simplifying the right side. 𝑥+2=1
𝑥 =1−2
4. Applying the Square Root 𝑥 = −1
Property.
5. Solve for 𝑥. 5 𝑥 + 2 = −1
𝑥 = −1 − 2
𝑥 = −3
