Find the value of c that completes the square

The video tutorial explains how to find the value of C to complete the square in a quadratic equation. It begins with an introduction to the concept and its applications, followed by a step-by-step guide to determine the value of C. The process involves ensuring the coefficient A is 1, then taking half of B, squaring it, and using properties of exponents to calculate C. The tutorial concludes with writing a perfect square binomial and applying the concept to solve problems.

What is the primary goal when finding the value of C in a quadratic equation?

• To make the equation linear

• To complete the square

• To find the roots of the equation

• To simplify the equation

What must be true about the coefficient A in the quadratic equation before finding C?

• A must be less than 1

• A must be a negative number

• A must be equal to 1

• A must be greater than 1

How do you calculate the value of C once A is 1?

• Square the value of A

• Add B and C together

• Divide B by 2 and then square it

• Multiply B by 2 and then square it

What is the result of squaring the numerator and denominator separately in the fraction -3/2?

• 3/2

• 9/2

• 3/4

• 9/4

What does the value of C allow you to do in the context of completing the square?

• Find the derivative of the equation

• Solve the equation directly

• Write a perfect square binomial

• Eliminate the quadratic term
