Consider the quadratic equation: x^2-16x=13.
What would this equation look like after completing the square on the left side?

The left-hand side of the equation becomes __
(enter a binomial)

The right-hand side of the equation becomes __ (enter a number)

Respuesta :

Answer:

x^2-16x=13

x^2-16x+64=13+64

x^2-16x+64=77

(x-8)^2=77 or (x-8)^2-77=0

Adding 64 came from doing (b/2)^2 where b is the constant in ax^2+bx+c, I hope this helps.
