Q. Rewrite the equation by completing the square.\newlinex2+11x+24=0x^2+11x+24=0\newline(x+)2=(x+\square)^2=\square
  1. Move constant term: x2+11x+24=0x^2 + 11x + 24 = 0\newlineFirst, we need to move the constant term to the right side of the equation to prepare for completing the square.\newlinex2+11x=24x^2 + 11x = -24
  2. Complete the square: x2+11x=24x^2 + 11x = -24\newlineTo complete the square, we need to add the square of half the coefficient of xx to both sides of the equation. The coefficient of xx is 1111, so half of 1111 is 5.55.5, and the square of 5.55.5 is 30.2530.25.\newlinex2+11x+30.25=24+30.25x^2 + 11x + 30.25 = -24 + 30.25
  3. Simplify right side: x2+11x+30.25=24+30.25x^2 + 11x + 30.25 = -24 + 30.25\newlineNow, we simplify the right side of the equation by adding 24-24 and 30.2530.25.\newlinex2+11x+30.25=6.25x^2 + 11x + 30.25 = 6.25
  4. Write as perfect square trinomial: x2+11x+30.25=6.25x^2 + 11x + 30.25 = 6.25\newlineThe left side of the equation is now a perfect square trinomial, and can be written as (x+5.5)2(x + 5.5)^2.\newline(x+5.5)2=6.25(x + 5.5)^2 = 6.25
