Completing The Square

This document provides examples of writing quadratic expressions in completed square form. It shows how to identify the leading term coefficient, factorize the expression, and write it as (x + p)2 + q or (x - p)2 + q, with examples such as: (1) (x + 2)2 - 12 (2) (x - 3)2 + 3 (3) (x - 5/2)2 + 23/4 The document demonstrates this process for quadratic expressions with leading coefficients other than 1, and expressions that can be written in the forms q - (x + p)2 or a(x + p)2 + q.
