2.5-2.6 Review

What do you do to the b value to correctly complete the square?

• square it
• divide it by 2 and square the result
• divide it by 2 and take the square root of the result
• divide it by 2 only

To solve by completing the square, what needs to be moved in this equation?
x² = 9 - 4x

• the -4x
• the 9
• the x²

What is the first step to solving THIS equation by completing the square?
a² + 10a + 21 = 0

• Set the equation equal to zero
• Divide 10 by 2 and add the result to both sides
• Add a² and 10a together
• Subtract the 21

When factoring
x² - 4x + 4 = 20,
what goes in the blank?
(x - __ )² = 20

• 4
• 2
• 8
• 20

When do you use the plus or minus symbol?
±

• After taking the square root of both sides
• After adding the square to both sides
• After taking half of b
• After setting the equation equal to zero

Complete the Square
x² + 6x = 5

• (x + 3)² = 5
• (x + 6)² = 9
• (x + 3)² = 14
• (x + 6)² = 14

Identify a, b and c in the quadratic equation: $2x^2-3x-5=0$   

• a = 2 , b = 3, c = -5

• a = 2, b = -3, c = 5

• a = 2, b = -3, c = -5

• a = -2, b = 3, c = 5

 $b^2-4ac$  is called the . . .

• Square root

• Quadratic formula

• X-intercepts

• Discriminant
