WELCOME TO OPENSTUDY! are you trying to complete the square? if so, that that middle term, 18, and divide that by 2 then square it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the perfect square yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

completing the square. half 18 and square it to get 81. add it to the end of the equation and factor the rest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(u+9)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you have x^2 + bx + c, then c = (b/2)^2 for the trinomial to be a perfect square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok this isnt helping i need to know what comes next to complete this equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 + 18x + c, b = 18, what's c if you use the formula above?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c would equal 81

OpenStudy (anonymous):
