Completing the Square Method Quiz

What is the first step in using the completing the square method for solving quadratic equations?

• Factor the quadratic equation

• Use the quadratic formula

• Directly solve for x

• Rearrange the equation into the form (x + p)^2 + q

After rearranging the equation x - 5 squared minus 7 equals zero, what is the next step?

• Subtract 7 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 7

• Divide both sides by 7

• Add 7 to both sides

When you square root both sides of an equation, what should you remember?

• There is only one solution

• The solution is always negative

• The solution is always positive

• There are two possible solutions: positive and negative

In the equation x plus 3 squared minus 1 equals zero, what is the value of x after solving?

• x equals 3 or -3

• x equals -2 or -4

• x equals 2 or -2

• x equals 4 or -4

What is the final step in solving a quadratic equation using the completing the square method?

• Multiply both sides by a constant

• Use the quadratic formula

• Add a constant to both sides

• Rearrange the equation to get x by itself
