Chapter 5.5: Completing the SquareGoal 1: Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the SquareCompleting the square is a process that allows you to write an expression of the form
x2 + bx as the square of a binomial. To complete the square for x2 + bx, you need to add (b/2) 2. The following is a rule for completing the square: X2 + bx +(b/2)2 = (x+[b/2])2
Example 1: Completing the Square: Find the value of c that makes the expression a perfect square trinomial. Then write the expression as the square of a binomial.
x2 + 18x + c Write the equation out
b=18 Use the formula to find b
c = (b/2)2 = (18/2)2 = 92 = 81 Find the value of c that makes the expression a perfect square trinomial
x2 + 18x + 81 Substitute the C value in the expression.

Solving Equations With The Quadratic Formula
• By completing the square once for the general equation , you can develop a formula that gives the solutions of any quadratic equation. The formula for the solutions is called the quadratic formula.

IDENTIFYING POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS
• A polynomial is a function if it’s in standard form and the exponent is a whole number
• ex: f(x)= 3
• If the polynomial has an exponent that is not a whole number it’s not a function
• ex: f(x)= 3x1/2 – 2x2 +5
Using Synthetic Substitution
• Write the polynomial in standard form• Insert terms with coefficients of 0 for missing terms• Then write the coefficients of f(x) in a row • Bring down the leading coefficients and multiply them by 1• Write results in the next column and bring down your results • Continue until you reach the end of the row • EX:
Graphing Polynomials Functions• Begin by making a table of values, including positive, negative, and zero
values for x• Plot the points and connect them with a smooth curve. Then check the
behavior
• The Degree is odd and the leading coefficients is positive, so • f(x)→ + -• As x → - • f(x) → + • As x → +

Put the equation into Standard formIn other words, make it equal zero.
x² + 8x = −12
x² + 8x = −12
+12 +12
x² + 8x + 12 = 0
Now that you have the equation you're solving, find the first factor
x² + 8x + 12 = 0
x² + 8x + 12 = 0( ) ( ) = 0the only factors of x2 are x * x, you
now have the first factors.
x² + 8x + 12 = 0(x ) (x ) = 0
Anjy Grasso
Now that we have the first factors, the x2 goes away, and we're left with this:
8x + 12 = 0(x ) (x ) = 0
Now we find the factors of 12.
1 and 12 wont work,neither will 4 and 3,so lets use 2 and 6
8x + 12 = 0(x ) (x ) = 0
(x 6) (x 2) = 0
Since the entire equation was positive,Both of these should be positive too.
(x + 6) (x + 2) = 0
Anjy Grasso
So how exactly do we know this is right? Lets use FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) multiplication to test it out.
(x + 6) (x + 2) = 0
F - First
O - Outer
I - Inner
L - Last
x * x = x2
x * 2 = + 2x
6 * x = + 6x
6 * 2 = + 12
x2 + 2x + 6x + 12Now Simplify…
x2 + 8x + 12

Functions f and g are inverses of each other provided:
f (g (x)) = x and g ( f (x)) = x
The function g is denoted by f – 1, read as “f inverse.”
Given any function, you can always find its inverse relation by switching x and y. For a linear function f (x ) = mx + b where m 0, the inverse is itself a linear function.

Different ways to Solve Rational Expressions
Cross Multiplying• Set up your equation.• Multiply together the top
expression on the left with the bottom on the right and the top expression on the right with the bottom of the left.
• Set the result equal to zero.• Solve for each part.
Multiple Rational Expressions• Set up your equation.• Multiply each side if the
equation by the LCD of both terms.
• Simplify each side.• Set the simplified form to
zero and solve for each result.
• Check for extraneous solutions.
