4. EQ: How can you use completing the square to put a quadratic equation in vertex form? Demonstrated in writing on example problems in notes. Some important notes… Sometimes completing the square is used to change an equation into standard form, if this is the case you will be able to stop after step 4. When doing step 4, the binomial squared will always have the form (x + or - #) 2 To decide if it is + or – look at the equation in step 3, if the b is positive it will be a + and if the b is negative it will be a - To decide what the # is divide b by 2.
