Visualizing the Process of Completing the Square

What is the main goal of the puzzle game analogy used to explain completing the square?

• To form a rectangle with the given shapes

• To form a triangle with the given shapes

• To form a square with the given shapes

• To form a circle with the given shapes

In the example of completing the square with x^2 + 2x + 1, what is the final expression?

• (x + 2)^2 - 1

• (x + 1)^2 - 1

• (x + 2)^2

• (x + 1)^2

When completing the square with x^2 + 4x + 4, how are the x tiles aligned?

• All to the side

• All below

• Randomly

What is introduced to fill the missing space when completing the square with x^2 + 4x?

• Extra x tiles

• Zero pairs

• Negative tiles

• Extra square tiles

In the example of completing the square with x^2 + 7x, what is the missing area that needs to be filled?

• 7 squared

• 2.5 squared

• 4 squared

• 3.5 squared

How is the rectangular 7x tile split when completing the square with x^2 + 7x?

• Into five equal parts

• Into two equal parts

• Into four equal parts

• Into three equal parts

What is the final expression for completing the square with x^2 + 5x - 2?

• (x + 2.5)^2 - 1.25

• (x + 2.5)^2 - 2.25

• (x + 2.5)^2 - 0.25

• (x + 2.5)^2 - 3.25

When generalizing the method, what is the length of the smaller rectangular tiles formed from the bx tile?

• b/4

• b

• b/2

• b/3

In the general form x^2 + bx + c, what happens to the constant term c during the process of completing the square?

• It is subtracted from the square

• It is left on the side

• It is added to the square

• It is ignored

What is the final expression for the general form x^2 + bx + c after completing the square?

• (x + b/2)^2 + (b/2)^2 - c

• (x + b/2)^2 - (b/2)^2 - c

• (x + b/2)^2 + (b/2)^2 + c

• (x + b/2)^2 - (b/2)^2 + c
