Completing the square is a method for rewriting a quadratic expression in the form [tex]\(ax^2 + bx + c\)[/tex] into the form [tex]\((x + d)^2 + e\)[/tex], where [tex]\(d\)[/tex] and [tex]\(e\)[/tex] are constants. The steps involved in completing the square are:
1. Start with the quadratic expression [tex]\(ax^2 + bx + c\)[/tex].
2. Move the constant term [tex]\(c\)[/tex] to the other side.
3. Add and subtract [tex]\(\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2\)[/tex] to the expression.
4. Factor the perfect square trinomial.
5. Rewrite the expression with the completed square.
Let's apply these steps to the given expressions.
