II. Completing the Square 8. Sometimes you wont be able to factor a quadratic equation. Suppose you are given the following quadratic equation to solve. How would you do it? x2 + 8x 1 = 0
9. The quadratic equation from #8 has been solved using the method of completing the square. Write a verbal description of each step. Step 1 2 3 4 Equation x + 8x 1 = 0 x2 + 8x = 1 x2 + 8x + 16 = 1 + 16 (x + 4)(x + 4) = 17 (x + 4)2 = 17 5 6 x + 4= x = -4 { III. Practice Guided Practice Solve each quadratic equation by completing the square. Leave your answer in simplified radical form. 1. x2 + 6x 1 = 0 2. x2 + 10x - 9 = 0 3. x2 + 14x = 6 }

4. x - 4x 4 = 1
5. x + 2x 1 = 5
Partner Practice Complete each problem with a partner. One person will solve each quadratic equation by completing the square, while the other will solve using the quadratic formula:
. Compare answers
once youve both completed the problem and then switch roles. Make sure to simplify radicals! Solve by completing the square 1. x2 + 4x + 1 = 0 Solve using the quadratic formula 1. x2 + 4x + 1 = 0
2. x2 + 6x + 2 = 0
2. x2 + 6x + 2 = 0
3. x2 8x = -2
3. x2 8x = -2
4. x2 12x - 24 = 0
4. x2 12x - 24 = 0
Individual Practice / Homework Solve each by completing the square. 1. x2 + 14x = -39 2. x2 + 10x 11 = 0
3. t2 + 18t = -79
4. p2 + 4p 12 = 0
