The technique is known as completing the square. take ½ the coefficient of x, square it, then add that to the end.
x²+2x+1 . 1 because ½ of 2 is 1 and 1² is 1
this guarantees a perfect square now which is (x+ "what we got when we halved the 2')², or
(x+1)²

Let's carry this math sentence over to its natural, "shapey" element. We're going to look at each term not as an ordinary number, but as <em>the area of some shape</em>.

x² (read as "x <em>squared"</em>) can be seen as the area of a square with side lengths of x. 2x can similarly be seen as the area of a <em>rectangle </em>with a length of x and a width of 2. (Picture 1)

What's our question actually asking, though? Something about <em>perfect squares</em>. More specifically, we're looking for something to add on that'll <em>make this thing a perfect square</em>. We're trying to find a missing piece we can slot in to make a square, in other words. Problem is, our shapes don't look much like a square if we put them together right now. We need to do a little cutting and gluing first.

First, we're gonna cut the 2x rectangle lengthwise, getting two rectangles with an area of x, a length of 1, and a width of x. Next, we're going to attach them to the x² square, creating this shape that looks, strangely, like a square with a little bit missing from it (picture 2). What we're trying to do is <em>complete this square, </em>to find the area of that little missing chunk.

As it turns out, we have all the information we need for this. Notice that, using the lengths of the x rectangles, we can find that the square's dimensions are 1 x 1, which means that its area is 1 x 1  = 1.

If we tack this new area on to our original expression, we've "completed the square!" We now have a perfect square with side lengths of (x + 1) and an area of (x + 1)² (picture 3).

So, our final expression is x² + 2x + 1, and the missing constant - the area of the "missing square" we had to find to complete our larger one - is 1.

The width of a singles tennis court is 75% of the width of a doubles court. A doubles court Is 36 feet wide. How wide is a singl
yuradex [85]

Answer:

width of a singles court = 27 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of a doubles tennis court = 36 feet

Width of a singles tennis court = 75% of 36

width = 75\% \times 36 \\ width =  \frac{75}{100}  \times 36 \\ width =  \frac{3} {4}  \times 36 \\ width =  \frac{108}{4}  = 27
