Key Points: Completing the Square
The completing the square method is used when a quadratic equation cannot be factorised easily.
- First, write the equation in standard form.
-
If a ≠ 1, divide the entire equation by a.
-
Add and subtract \[\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2\] to complete the square.
-
Convert the left-hand side into a perfect square.
-
Solve the resulting equation to find the roots.
