Q. Complete the square. Fill in the number that makes the polynomial a perfect-square quadratic.v2+8v+____
Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients of the polynomial v2+8v+? by comparing it to the standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c. a=1 b=8 c=?
Calculate value: To complete the square, we need to add (2b)2 to the polynomial v2+8v.Calculate (28)2.(28)2=(4)2=16
Add to make perfect-square: Add the calculated value to the polynomial to make it a perfect-square quadratic. v2+8v+16 is now a perfect-square quadratic.
