Question

Which constant number would be an to both sides of the equation rn order to complete the square for the quadratic function 1=x^2-6x

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$1= x^2 - 6x$

Required

The perfect number

The coefficient c of x in the above equation is:

$c = -6$

Divide by 2

$c/2 = -3$

Square both sides

$(c/2)^2 = 9$

Hence, the constant to add is:

$k = 9$
