complete the square.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2+16x=0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 16x + 8^2 = 8^2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "(x+8)^2 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "(x+8)^2-64 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factof:
\n" ); document.write( "[(x+8)-8][(x+8)-8] = 0
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "x+8-8 = 0 or x+8+8 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0 or x = -16
