Q. Rewrite the equation by completing the square.x2+16x+64=0(x+□)2=□
Given quadratic equation: We start with the given quadratic equation.x2+16x+64=0We want to rewrite this equation in the form of (x+a)2=b.
Completing the square: First, we identify the coefficient of x, which is 16. To complete the square, we need to find (216)2.(216)2=82=64
Perfect square trinomial: We notice that the constant term in the equation, 64, is already equal to (216)2. This means the equation is already a perfect square trinomial.x2+16x+64=(x+8)2
Rewriting in completed square form: Now we rewrite the equation in the completed square form. (x+8)2=0
