To complete the square, first the coefficient in front of the x^2 must be 1, which it is in this case. Then, take the coefficient in front of the x and divide by 2, then square that.

5/2=2.5
2.5²=6.25 or 25/4

Then add this number to both sides and simplify.

x²+5x+25/4=2+25/4
x²+5x+25/4=33/4

Factor the left side using reverse foil. Hint: the number that you are adding/subtracting by should be the number you got when you divided the coefficient of x by 2

(x+5/2)²=33/4
√<span>(x+5/2)²=</span>√(33/4)
x+5/2=33/4 or x+5/2= -33/4
x=23/4 or x=-43/4

Given the function f(x)=4x^8+7x^7+1x^6+1 What is the value of f(−2)?
qwelly [4]
<span> f(x)=4x^8+7x^7+1x^6+
</span>∴<span> f(-2)=4(-2)^8+7(-2)^7+1(-2)^6+1
</span>∴ <span>f(-2)=(4x256) + (7x-128) + (1x64) +1
</span>∴ <span>f(-2)=1024 - 896 + 64 +1
</span>∴ <span>f(-2)= 193</span>
