Q. Complete the square. Fill in the number that makes the polynomial a perfect-square quadratic.p2+2p+____
Identify values: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the polynomial p2+2p+? by comparing it to the standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c. a=1 b=2 c=?
Determine completion: Determine the number that completes the square. To complete the square for the expression p2+2p, add (b/2)2. Calculate (2/2)2 to find the value that completes the square. (2/2)2=(1)2=1
Find missing number: The missing number that makes the polynomial a perfect-square quadratic is 1. So, the complete expression is p2+2p+1.
