Chapter 13
We might recognize a quadratic equation from the factoring chapter as a trinomial equation. Although, it may seem that they are the same, but they aren't the same. Trinomial equations are equations with any three terms. These terms can be any three terms where the degree of each can vary. On the other hand, quadratic equations are equations with specific degree on each term.
Definition
A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the form + + =
Where is called the leading term, is call the linear term, and is called the constant coefficient (or constant term). Additionally, .

B. ISOLATE THE SQUARED TERM Let's look at examples where the leading term, or squared term, is not isolated. Recall, the squared term must be isolated to apply the square root property.

Before we can clear an exponent, it must first be _____________________________.
Example: a) 4 - 2(2 + 1)2 = -46
b) 5(3 - 2)2 + 6 = 46
YOU TRY Solve. a) 5(3x - 6)2 + 7 = 27
b) 5(r + 4)2 + 1 = 626
Note: When we have the other side of the equation of a squared term negative, the equation does not have a real solution. For example, the equation 2 = -1 does not have a real solution. There is
a complex solution for this equation but we will not discuss it in this class.
Example:
Solve
22 + 5 = 4
22 = 4 - 5
22 = -1

This equation does not have a real solution.

C. USE THE PERFECT SQUARE FORMULA In order for us to be able to apply the square root property to solve a quadratic equation, we cannot have the term in the middle because if we apply the square root property to the term, we will make the equation more complicated to solve.
However sometimes, we have special cases that we can apply the perfect square formula to get rid of the term in the middle and then apply the square root property to solve the equations.
Recall: Perfect square formula + + = ( + ) or - + = ( - )

SECTION 13.2: COMPLETING THE SQUARE
Chapter 13
When solving quadratic equations previously (then known as trinomial equations), we factored to solve. However, recall, not all equations are factorable. Consider the equation 2 - 2 - 7 = 0. This equation is not factorable, but there are two solutions to this equation: 1 + 2 and 1 - 2. Looking at the form of these solutions, we obtained these types of solutions in the previous section while using the square root property. If we can obtain a perfect square, then we can apply the square root property and solve as usual. This method we use to obtain a perfect square is called completing the square.
Recall. Special product formulas for perfect square trinomials:
( + ) = + + ( - ) = - +
We use these formulas to help us solve by completing the square.
A. COMPLETE THE SQUARE We first begin with completing the square and rewriting the trinomial in factored form using the perfect square trinomial formulas.

Chapter 13
To complete the square of any trinomial, we always square half of the linear term's coefficient, i.e.,
We usually use the second expression when the middle term's coefficient is a fraction.
