Question

Given the following perfect square trinomial, fill in the missing term.

x2 − 16x + ____

Answer 1

(x-8)^2

Answer 2

by completing the square

Answer 3

Fill in the missing term.

Answer 4

take half of the middle term and square it

Answer 5

So the answer is 16?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

what is half of 16?

Answer 8

4

Answer 9

16/2

Answer 10

its 8

Answer 12

ohh yeah loll. i knew that.

Answer 13

and then you square 8 to get the answer

Answer 14

64

Answer 15

yea

Answer 16

for trinomial
ax^2+bx+c
we have discriminant
b^2-4ac
here in given question a=1,b=-16 we need c
ok for perfect square we need the discriminant
so find the discriminant of above
(-16)^2-4(1)c=0

so solve for c
4c=16^2
c=16^2/4
hope it is clear

Answer 17

that how you complete the square

Answer 18

take half the middle term and square

Answer 19

assuming that the first term coefficient is 1

Answer 20
