Question

Start with x2 + 4x = 12 and complete the square, what is the equivalent equation? A) (x + 2)2 = 16 B) (x + 2)2 = 14 C) (x + 4)2 = 16 D) (x + 4)2 = 28

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation: Add the coefficient of x to the both sides.

X²+4x=12

X²+4x+4=12+4

X²+4x+4=16

X²+2x+2x+4=16

X(x+2)+2(x+2)=16

(X+2)(x+2)=16

(X+2)²=16
