How do you find the value to complete the square for $$x^2 - 14x + ____$$ ?

Take half of the coefficient of $$x$$ (which is -14), square it, resulting in 49.

How do you solve the equation $$x^2 = 9 - 4x$$ by completing the square?

Move -4x to the left side to get $$x^2 + 4x = 9$$ , then complete the square.

What is the solution to the equation $$3x^2 + 15 = 18x$$ after completing the square?

The solutions are $$x = -1$$ and $$x = 5$$ .

What is the significance of the discriminant in completing the square?

The discriminant, given by $$b^2 - 4ac$$ , determines the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation.

What does it mean if the discriminant is zero?

If the discriminant is zero, the quadratic equation has exactly one real root (a repeated root).

What is the vertex form of a quadratic equation?

The vertex form is $$y = a(x - h)^2 + k$$ , where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

How can completing the square help graph a quadratic function?

It allows you to find the vertex and axis of symmetry, making it easier to sketch the graph.

What is the relationship between the coefficients and the vertex in the standard form of a quadratic?

The vertex can be found using the formula $$(-\frac{b}{2a}, f(-\frac{b}{2a}))$$ .
