• Subtract c from both sides

• Add c to both sides

What must be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square?

• b/2a

• c/a

• b/a

• (b/2a)^2

In the process of completing the square, what is the expression for half of b/a?

• a/2b

• 2b/a

• b/a

• b/2a

What is the correct order of steps to derive the quadratic formula?

• II, III, I, IV

• IV, I, III, II
