Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve an equation by completing the square in a quadratic formula
f(x)=ax²+bx+c
example :x²-6x-16=0
first rearrange if necessary, move the constant to one side .
x²-6x=16
second you find a new term to complete the square which is (b/2)², and add the term to both sides.(6/2)²=3²=9
x²-6x+9=16+9
x²-6x+9=25
third factorize : find the common factor between 6 and 9 which is 3
x²-6x+9=25
(x-3)²=25
last solve for x: (x-3)²=25
x-3=√25
x=3±5
x=3+5=8 or 3-5=-2
