4/20 9.4 Completing the Square

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to use the square root method when we don't have a perfect square. You are going to watch a few videos that refer to "completing the square" method to find vertex form (which we used last chapter.) However, we will mostly be using "completing the square" method to solve quadratic equations.

This is a Pre-Calculus lesson video, but don't stress about it, you will do just fine with it.

  1. Download and print (or use annotate) these notes:
    Completing the Square & Vertex Form
  2. Watch these videos and follow along in these notes
  3. Now we see that the general rule for completing the square is this:
    complete the sqauare
    When we add (b/2)^2 , then we can factor it into a binomial squared.
  4. Watch this example:
    Example 1
    Example 2
  5. If you have time, you can do your online assignment Big Ideas

 


Big IdeasAssignment 9.4 online
(part 1)
4/21 9.4 completing the Square
  1. What do you do if there is an a value greater than 1? Watch this example
  2. How do we change a function into vertex form using completing the square? Take out your handout from yesterday and watch the Part 3 - Converting into Vertex Form
  3. Now do the Puzzle Time exercises. Work them out on a separate paper.

    On #11 and 12, use completing the square to write the equation in vertex form first, then your answer is the maximum or minimum.

5/17 Ch. 9/10 Final Review

We are going to start building some notes for the final exam. The exam will cover all 10 chapters that you have studied.

For each chapter, you will be writng out some notes on a clean paper. For each chapter, you need to include:

  1. A list of at least 3important concepts, definitions, or formulas. Make sure you label things well. You may need abbrieviate
  2. Write 2 examples of important types of problems from the chapter.

Keep the notes organized, neat, and compact. You need to try to keep all your notes onto 2 pages (front and back). Focus on important stuff.

  • Make your final review notes for Ch. 10
  • If you have time, make your final review notes for Ch. 9
