A perfect square What do we get if we factorise: x2 + 10x + 25 This is called a perfect square because it can be written as (x+5)2. X+5 Can you think of an expression for a perfect cube??

Solving Quadratic Equations ► We will now look at solving quadratic equations using completing the square method.

Complete the square for: y = x x + 12 Use: (x + 5) 2 = x x + 25 x x + 12 = x x x x + 12 = (x + 5) y = (x + 5) … is complete square form 5 is half 10

Solve: x x + 12 = 0 (x + 5) = 0 Solving Equations using the completed square Complete the square ….. (x + 5) 2 = 13 (x + 5) =  13 x = -5  13 x = -5 +  13 or -5 -  13 x = or The solutions SURD FORM (leave as square root)

Complete the square for: y = x x - 30 Use: (x - 10) 2 = x x x x - 30 = x x x x - 30 = (x - 10) y = (x - 10) … is completed square form -10 is half -20

Complete the square for: y = 2x x - 33 Use: (x - 3.5) 2 = x 2 - 7x x 2 - 7x = x 2 - 7x (x 2 - 7x ) = 2( (x - 3.5) ) y = 2( (x - 3.5) ) … is complete square form -3.5 is half -7 Adjust to make a single ‘x 2’ : y = 2(x 2 - 7x ) y = 2 (x - 3.5) 2 – 57.5

Solve: 2x x - 33 = 0 Solving Equations using the completed square Complete the square (from previous slide)….. (x - 3.5) 2 = (x ) =  x = 3.5  x =  or  x = 8.86 or The solutions (x - 3.5) = 0 x 2 - 7x – 16.5 = 0 (divide both sides by 2)

Quadratic graphs This is a translation of the graph y=kx 2 by the vector:

Finding critical values on graphs 1.Find the y-intercept 2.Find the x-intercept(s) 3.Find the vertex

Finding the y-intercept Intercepts y-axis when x=0

Finding the x-intercept(s) Intercepts x-axis when y=0 Does it factorise?? x=-2 and x=-8

Finding the vertex Find translation from y=x 2 by writing in completed square form. Vertex must be at (-5,-9)

Finding critical values on graphs 1.Find the y-intercept(0,16) 2.Find the x-intercept(s)(-2,0) & (-8,0) 3.Find the vertex(-5,-9) Now sketch this graph
