\"w%5E2-12w%2Bc\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "remember the rule: you take 1/2 of the w term and then square that value
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so in our case we have 12/2=6. We then take 6 and square it which results
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "in 36
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so c=36
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we are left with \"w%5E2-12w%2B36\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "which when factored would yield the perfect square \"%28w-6%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
