To complete the square, the second degree term must have a coefficient of 1.
Since the second degree term here has a coefficient of 4, we start by dividing each term on both sides by 4.
Now we can complete the square.
First, we need to find what number completes the square.
We take the coefficient of the first degree term, -7 in this case.
Divide it by 2 and square it. -7 divided by 2 is the fraction -7/2.
Now we square -7/2 to get 49/4.
We add 49/4 to both sides.

<u><em>Verify each expression</em></u>
case A) we have
In this expression the term of n is 6n
so
has a coefficient of positive 6
case B) we have
In this expression the term of n is -5n
so
has a coefficient of negative 5
case C) we have
In this expression the term of n is n
so
has a coefficient of positive 1
case D) we have
In this expression the term of n is -n
so
has a coefficient of negative 1
