EXAMPLE 1 Complete the square
Find the value of c that makes the expression x2 + 5x + c a perfect square trinomial. Then write the expression as the square of a binomial.
STEP 1Find the value of c. For the expression to be a perfect square trinomial, c needs to be the square of half the coefficient of bx.
Find the square of half the coefficient of bx.2
2 = 254c = 5
EXAMPLE 1 Complete the square
STEP 2Write the expression as a perfect square trinomial. Then write the expression as the square of a binomial.
Substitute 25 for c.
