Question

Find the value of c that completes the square.
y^2-34y+c

Answer 1

ay^2 + by + c... the value of c needed to complete the square is:

\[c=\frac{ b }{ ? }\]

Answer 2

\[c=\frac{ b }{ 2a }\]

Answer 3

c=(-34/2(1))^2
c=-17^2
c=289

Answer 4

So your final answer will be y^2-34y+289

Answer 5

If you factored it it would be (y-17)^2
