Struggling with Completing the Square? Try this!

CORRECTION: last example should have a 2 out front at the end.

Why are you taking half of the six? You never elaborated, and it seems confusing

We want to create a perfect square for the box so we take 1/2 the "b" value in ax^2+bx+c. To create (x+3)(x+3)

hey, i think the last one is wrong, cus y=(x+2)*2+3 is not the same as y=2(x*2+4x+11/2). They have 2 different solutions.

You are right. I forgot to put the 2 back out front of the perfect square. Thanks for catching that
