Q. Complete the square. Fill in the number that makes the polynomial a perfect-square quadratic.h2+12h+____
Identify values: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic expression h2+12h+? by comparing it to the standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c.a=1b=12c=?
Calculate value: To complete the square, we need to add (2b)2 to the expression h2+12h. Calculate (212)2.(212)2=(6)2=36
Add to expression: Add the calculated value to the expression to make it a perfect-square quadratic: h2+12h+36. Check if (h+6)2 equals h2+12h+36. (h+6)2=h2+2∗(h∗6)+62=h2+12h+36
