Quadratics

Quadratics that are perfect squares have “c” values that are equal to 2.

For example: y = x2 + 4x + 4 is a perfect square trinomial because:

b = 4c = 2

= 22

= 4

We can represent y = x2 + 4x + 4 using algebra tiles:

x2x1

xx

QuadraticsPerfect Square Trinomial are always in this form:

a2x2 2abx + b2

And when we factor a perfect square trinomial, it will always factor like this:

(ax

QuadraticsIs this an example of a perfect square trinomial?

16x2 +8x +2

QuadraticsFactor this perfect square trinomial:

25x2 - 30x + 9

Review

QuadraticsRemember that you can factor out any number, even if it leaves you with a rational number.Example: y = 2x2 + 3x + 9

QuadraticsDetermine the “c” value that would make each of the following perfect squares:

a) y = x2 + 5x + c

QuadraticsDetermine the “c” value that would make each of the following perfect squares:

c) y = x2 + 9x + c

Completing the square is the process we go through to change a standard form quadratic equation into vertex form.

What do you notice?Standard Form Vertex Form

x2 + 2x + 3 (x + 1)2 + 2x2 + 4x + 1 (x + 2)2 - 3x2 + 6x + 8 (x + 3)2 – 1x2+ 4x + 5 2(x + 1)2 + 3

3x2 + 18x + 12 3(x + 3)2 - 152x2 + 8x + 7 2(x + 2)2 - 1
