Q. Solve by completing the square.\newlinew2+4w=1w^2 + 4w = 1\newlineWrite your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.\newlinew=w = _____ or w=w = _____
  1. Write equation in form: Write the equation in the form of w2+bw=cw^2 + bw = c. The given equation is already in this form: w2+4w=1w^2 + 4w = 1.
  2. Move constant term: Move the constant term to the right side of the equation.\newlineSubtract 11 from both sides to isolate the ww terms on the left.\newlinew2+4w1+1=11w^2 + 4w - 1 + 1 = 1 - 1\newlinew2+4w=0w^2 + 4w = 0
