2. 2 (A) Skill Review Recall how to complete the square: Recall how to complete the square: 2x 2 – 12x + 1 2x 2 – 12x + 1 = 2(x 2 – 6x + 9 – 9) + 1 = 2(x 2 – 6x + 9 – 9) + 1 = 2(x – 3) 2 – 17 = 2(x – 3) 2 – 17 Recall simple binomial expansions  (a + b) 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 which we now apply binomial expansion to equations with radicals Recall simple binomial expansions  (a + b) 2 = a 2 + 2ab + b 2 which we now apply binomial expansion to equations with radicals (6 -  x) 2 (6 -  x) 2 = (6) 2 + 2(6)(-  x) + (-  x) 2 = (6) 2 + 2(6)(-  x) + (-  x) 2 = 36 - 12  x + x = 36 - 12  x + x Recall how to find distances on a Cartesian plane  A(-5,3) and B(-1,-2) Recall how to find distances on a Cartesian plane  A(-5,3) and B(-1,-2)  ((3 - -1) 2 + (-5 - -2) 2 )  ((3 - -1) 2 + (-5 - -2) 2 )  (16 + 9) = 5  (16 + 9) = 5

4. 4 (B) Locus Definition A locus is a set of points that satisfy a given condition or conditions A locus is a set of points that satisfy a given condition or conditions For example, the line x = 2 could be defined as the set of all points that are 2 units to the right of the y-axis For example, the line x = 2 could be defined as the set of all points that are 2 units to the right of the y-axis For example, a circle could then be defined as a set of points that are equidistant from a fixed point (i.e. the center)  ex. The set of points that are 4 units from the origin would be the circle x 2 + y 2 = 4 2 For example, a circle could then be defined as a set of points that are equidistant from a fixed point (i.e. the center)  ex. The set of points that are 4 units from the origin would be the circle x 2 + y 2 = 4 2 For example, the set of points that are equidistant from two fixed points describes the line of the perpendicular bisector between the given two fixed points, say (-2,5) and (6,9) For example, the set of points that are equidistant from two fixed points describes the line of the perpendicular bisector between the given two fixed points, say (-2,5) and (6,9)
