Q. Complete the square. Fill in the number that makes the polynomial a perfect-square quadratic.q2−28q+
Identify values: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic expression q2−28q+? by comparing it to the standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c. a=1 b=−28 c=?
Calculate square: To complete the square, we need to add the square of half of the coefficient of q, which is 2b, to the expression. Calculate (−228)2.(−228)2=(−14)2=196
Complete the square: The number that completes the square is 196. So the expression becomes q2−28q+196, which is a perfect square quadratic.
