How do you "complete the square"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got an example to work out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its hard to explain, basically you draw out the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can make one up if you like also depends on whether you are solving \[x^2+6x-2=0\] for example, or just competing the square on \(y=x^2+6x-2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F(x) = 4x^2 - 8x+13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have to get square in this view a^2+2a+1=(a+1)^2 then u have (2x-2)^2+9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reducing to standard form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know its calling that way :D but it can be standart form :) u have to find square (a+b)^2 + number or expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure i completely understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you should finde Reducing to standard form
