Do you know how to complete the square? Like say I have x^2+kx+? what does the ? need to be in order to complete the square

OpenStudy (freckles):

x^2+kx+(k/2)^2 =(x+k/2)^2 so the ? needs to be (k/2)^2

OpenStudy (freckles):

you have x^2+8x+?+3-? I added a ? and also subtracted it out so the expression would still be equal to x^2+8x+3 I'm using the ? as a placeholder of what to plug in to complete the square notice here the ?=(k/2)^2 where k is what value
