Question

Completing Square Method
$x}^{2} - 24x - 16$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -24x its coefficient is -24 .

The last term, "the constant", is -16

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -16 = -16

Step-2 : Find two factors of -16 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -24 .

-16 + 1 = -15

-8 + 2 = -6

-4 + 4 = 0

-2 + 8 = 6

-1 + 16 = 15
