Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Squares Worksheets
Transform any quadratic equation that cannot be factored to the one that can be factored, with this simple never-fail technique of completing squares. Bolster practice using these printable worksheets on solving quadratic equations by completing the squares, and solve the trickiest of quadratic equations effortlessly. High school students begin by moving the constant to the right side and rearranging the left side of the equation to make it a complete square of the form x2+ 2ax+ a2. Divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it to find the value of a2. Balance the equation by adding the value of a2 on either side of the equation to make a complete square (x+a)2. The stage is now set to solve the quadratic equation by taking the square root on both sides and computing to find the roots of the quadratic equation. Our free worksheet will leave you yearning for more!
