1. Solve by completing the square.

....... write as , then group first two terms and second two terms
.......

() - () = .......factor out in first group , and in second group
x(x – 2) - 2(x - 2) = 0.......factor out
(x – 2)(x - 2) = 0.......solution


2. Solve by completing the square.


write this first in standard form:

coefitients are: , , and
now apply the quadratic formula:














3. Solve by using the quadratic formula.
= –

coefitients are: , , and
now apply the quadratic formula:















4. Solve by using the quadratic formula.


coefitients are: , , and
now apply the quadratic formula:
















5. Solve. ....divide both sides by
...move to the right
...., so
