MATH 1151 - Worksheet - Completing the Square 1. Expand - (a: +1)(&c + 1) - (3+4)? 0 2(3: 3)2 2. Factor 0x2+x+9 o 2xz+8$+8 3. Supply the missing constant so that the following functions are perfect squares. Write each function in both the expanded form and the factored form. a f(a:) = 3:2 855+ 0 9(3) = m2 73+ a Mac) = 3:2 x+ o j(:c) = 3:1:2 7:1:+ (Hint: Factor out the 3 rst, then supply the missing constant, then distribute the 3 back in.) 4. Comparing the factored form f(a:) = A(:c + m)2 to the expanded form f (1:) = (13:2 + ()3: + 0, what is the relationship between A, m and a, b, c. 5. If you begin with f\" (3:) = a32+bx, how do you nd c so that f(:c) = ax2+bx+c will factor as a perfect square? 6. Find the vertex of the following parabola by moving the constant to the left side, completing the square on the right side, adding the same constant to both sides, then writing in standard form y = a(3: h)2 + k. y=zr2+6$+3 . Find the vertex of the following parabola by moving the constant to the left side, completing the square on the right side, adding the same constant to both sides, then writing in standard form y = a(3: h)2 + k. y=zr2+br+c . Find the vertex of the following parabola by moving the constant to the left side, dividing by the coefcient on $2, completing the square on the right side, adding the same constant to both sides, nding a common denominator on the left side, simplifying, then writing in standard form y = a(..\": h)2 + k. y=2m2+51r+3 Alternate approach: Find the vertex of the following parabola by moving the constant to the left side, factoring out the coeicient on 3:2, completing the square on the right side, distributing the constant back in on the right hand side, adding the same constant to both sides, then writing in standard form y=a(rh)2+k. y=2x2+51r+3 . Find the vertex of the following parabola. y = as? + be: + c 10. Solve the equation a$2+bzr+c=0 by moving the c to the right side, dividing by a, completing the square, adding the same constant to both sides, taking a square root, and subtracting the constant term on the left to get :1: by itself
