When the completing the square is applied, the rewritten function is (x + 2)^2 = 4
How to complete the square?
The equation is given as:
x^2 + 4x = 0
The above equation is a quadratic equation and the coefficient of x in the above equation is 4.
So, we have:
k = 4
Divide the variable k by 2
k/2 = 4/2
k/2 = 2
Square the above result
(k/2)^2 = 4
Next, we add 4 to both sides of x^2 + 4x = 0
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 4
Expand the equation by expressing 4x as 2x + 2x
This gives
x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4 = 4
Factorize the above equation
x(x + 2) + 2(x + 2) = 4
Factor out x + 2 from the above equation
(x + 2)(x + 2) = 4
Rewrite the equation as a perfect square of (x + 2)
(x + 2)^2 = 4
Hence, the rewritten function after completing the square is (x + 2)^2 = 4
