Answer :
You need to add 4 to both sides
The x term has a coefficient of 4. Take half of this to get 2, then square it to get 4. This is the value we add to both sides to get x^2+4x+4 = 5. Note how x^2+4x+4 factors into (x+2)^2
---------
Another example: Let's say we started with x^2+6x = 1. To complete the square, we need to add 9 to both sides. I start with 6 (the x coefficient) and cut that in half to get 3, then I squared that to get 9. So we add 9 to both sides getting x^2+6x+9 = 10 which becomes (x+3)^2 = 10
The term that must be added to the equation x2+4x=1 to make it into a perfect square is 4.
What is Quadratic equation?
In algebra, a quadratic equation is any equation that can be rearranged in standard form as where x represents an unknown, and a, b, and c represent known numbers, where a ≠ 0. If a = 0, then the equation is linear, not quadratic, as there is no ax^2 term.
For example
Examples of quadratic equations are: 6x² + 11x – 35 = 0, 2x² – 4x – 2 = 0, 2x² – 64 = 0, x² – 16 = 0, x² – 7x = 0, 2x² + 8x = 0 etc.
Given :
x²+4x=1
as, the x has coefficient 4.
so half the coefficient of x and add and subtract the square of the remaining.
x²+4x + 2 ² - 2² =1
Now, make the whole square term
x²+4x + 2 ² - 4 - 1=0
( x + 2)² -5= 0
