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 .
