Question

Rewrite y = x2 + 14x + 29 in general form using the complete the square method

Answer 1

(x+14/2)^2 +29 - (14/2)^2

Answer 2

so, you take the first term +( half second term/2)^2 - (half second term/2)^2 + c

Answer 3

so it would be (x+78)-49??

Answer 4

no. You need to keep it in the squared form. So, you have (x+7)^2 +29-49. The simplified answer is then (x+7)^2 -20

Answer 5

nvm..it would be (x+78)(x-78)...right

Answer 6

if you foil it out.

Answer 7

oh okay...i get it now

Answer 8

just remember the formula, (x + B/2)^2 +c-(B/2)^2
