3. Complete the square for the following equations:
a. y = 2x² 12x + 1

b. y = 4x² + 48x - 10


Sagot :

The square for the  equation:  [tex]y=2x^{2} + 12x +1[/tex] is [tex]y=2(x+3)x^{2} -17[/tex]

The square for the  equation:  [tex]y=4x^{2} +48x-10[/tex] is [tex]y=4(x+6)x^{2} -154[/tex]

a)

[tex]y=2x^{2} +12x +1[/tex]

[tex]y = 2[(x^{2} + 6x)] + 1[/tex] ( taking common)

[tex]y = 2[(x+3)^{2} - 9] + 1[/tex] ( adding and subtracting 9 to make a square term

[tex]y = 2(x+3)^{2} - 18 + 1[/tex] ( multiplying by 2)

[tex]y=2(x+3)x^{2} -17[/tex]

b)

[tex]y=4x^{2} +48x-10[/tex]

[tex]y = 4[(x^{2} + 12x)] - 10[/tex]  (taking 4 common)

[tex]y = 4[(x+6)^{2} - 36)] - 10[/tex] (adding and subtracting 36)

[tex]y = 4(x+6)^{2} - 144 - 10[/tex](multiplying by 4)

[tex]y=4(x+6)x^{2} -154[/tex]
