What number would you add to both sides of x² + 7x = 4 to complete the square?
Answers:
A. 2²
B. 7²
C. 7²/2
D. [⁷/2]²​

Sagot :

The number would you add to both sides of x² + 7x = 4 to complete the square option C 7²/2.

What is completing the squares method for solving the quadratic method?

Suppose the considered quadratic equation is of the form

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Then, completing the squares method tries to make a squared term in terms of x in the left side, so that x comes in linear form, instead of quadratic.

The given quadratic equation is

x² + 7x = 4

add  7²/2 to both sides of x² + 7x = 4 to complete the square

7²/2 = 49/4

x² + 7x + 49/4 = 4+ 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = 4+ 49/4

Thus, option C 7²/2 is correct.
