Q. Rewrite the equation by completing the square.x2−2x+1=0(x+□)2=□
Identify equation: Identify the equation to be rewritten by completing the square.We have the equation x2−2x+1=0.
Recognize perfect square: Recognize that the equation is already a perfect square trinomial.The equation x2−2x+1 is a perfect square because it can be factored into (x−1)2.
Rewrite in completed square form: Rewrite the equation in completed square form.Since x2−2x+1 is already a perfect square, it can be written as (x−1)2=0.
Verify completed square form: Verify the completed square form.To check, we can expand (x−1)2 to get x2−2x+1, which matches the original equation.
