Q. Rewrite the equation by completing the square.x2+2x−35=0(x+□)2=□
Move constant term: We start with the equation x2+2x−35=0 and move the constant term to the right side of the equation.x2+2x=35
Complete the square: To complete the square, we need to add (2b)2 to both sides of the equation, where b is the coefficient of x. In this case, b=2, so (2b)2=(22)2=12=1.x2+2x+1=35+1
Factor perfect square trinomial: Now we have the left side of the equation in a perfect square trinomial form, which can be factored into (x+1)2.(x+1)2=36
Rewritten equation: We have successfully rewritten the equation by completing the square.The completed square form of the equation is (x+1)2=36.
