उत्तर
\[p^2 + 6p - 16\]
\[ = p^2 + 6p + \left( \frac{6}{2} \right)^2 - \left( \frac{6}{2} \right)^2 - 16 [\text{ Adding and subtracting }\left( \frac{6}{2} \right)^2 ,\text{ that is }, 3^2 ]\]
\[ = p^2 + 6p + 3^2 - 9 - 16\]
\[ = (p + 3 )^2 - 25 [\text{ Completing the square }]\]
\[ = (p + 3 )^2 - 5^2 \]
\[ = [(p + 3) - 5][(p + 3) + 5]\]
\[ = (p + 3 - 5)(p + 3 + 5)\]
\[ = (p - 2)(p + 8)\]

A contractor uses the expression 4x2 + 11x + 6 to determine the amount of wire to order when wiring a house. If the expression comes from multiplying the number of rooms times the number of outlets and he knows the number of rooms to be (x + 2), find the number of outlets in terms of ’x’. [Hint : factorise 4x2 + 11x + 6]
