00:0-1 | to solve this equation by completing the square , we | |
00:03 | need a perfect square . Try no meal on the | |
00:06 | left side of the equation and notice that the try | |
00:10 | no meal we have doesn't even factor so we know | |
00:13 | it's not a perfect square . Try no meal in | |
00:17 | order to create a perfect square , try no meal | |
00:19 | on the left side , We would first move this | |
00:22 | plus 30 over to the right by subtracting 30 from | |
00:28 | both sides of the equation and we have m squared | |
00:32 | plus 12 M equals negative 30 . Notice that I've | |
00:39 | left room for a space on each side of the | |
00:44 | equation . The number that goes in each space is | |
00:50 | the number that we need to create a perfect square | |
00:53 | . Try no meal on the left side of the | |
00:55 | equation . The question is , what is that number | |
01:00 | ? Well , it comes from a formula . The | |
01:03 | number that goes in these spaces always comes from half | |
01:07 | the coefficient of the middle term square . In this | |
01:13 | case that's half of causative 12 , which is positive | |
01:17 | six squared Which is positive 36 . So we add | |
01:23 | 36 to both sides of the equation . Notice the | |
01:30 | left side now factors as M plus six times M | |
01:35 | plus six or M plus six square The right side | |
01:44 | simplifies 26 And now our problem looks just like one | |
01:49 | of the examples in the previous section to solve for | |
01:53 | M . We get rid of the squared by square | |
01:57 | rooting both sides and we have M plus six equals | |
02:04 | plus or minus . Route six . Don't forget to | |
02:08 | use plus or minus when square rooting both sides of | |
02:11 | an equation to get in by itself . We subtract | |
02:16 | six from both sides and we have em equals negative | |
02:22 | six plus or minus route six . And let's write | |
02:27 | our answer in set notation . Yeah . Mhm . | |
02:31 | Yeah . This method for solving a quadratic equation is | |
02:39 | called completing the square and we'll be using it throughout | |
02:44 | the rest of this unit . |
