Full solution

Q. Rewrite the equation by completing the square.\newlinex2+2x48=0x^2+2x-48=0\newline(x+)2=(x+\square)^2=\square
  1. Rewrite equation in standard form: Rewrite the equation in the form of x2+bx=cx^2 + bx = c.\newlineAdd 4848 to both sides to isolate the quadratic and linear terms.\newlinex2+2x48+48=0+48x^2 + 2x - 48 + 48 = 0 + 48\newlinex2+2x=48x^2 + 2x = 48
  2. Isolate the quadratic and linear terms: Choose the number to complete the square.\newlineSince (22)2=1(\frac{2}{2})^2 = 1, add 11 to both sides to complete the square.\newlinex2+2x+1=48+1x^2 + 2x + 1 = 48 + 1\newlinex2+2x+1=49x^2 + 2x + 1 = 49
  3. Complete the square: Factor the left side as a perfect square trinomial.\newline(x+1)2=49(x + 1)^2 = 49
  4. Factor the left side: Write the completed square form of the equation.\newlineThe completed square form of the equation is (x+1)2=49(x + 1)^2 = 49.
