What number must you add to complete the square? x^2 + 16x = 3

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

to complete the square, take the coefficient of the x ( the non-squared x ) divide it by two and then square the result that is what you must add :)

so the coefficient of x is 16... dividing by 2, you get 8 Square that, you get 64 And that is what you must add ! :D
