5.5 Completing the Square with Algebra Tiles

Completing the Square with Algebra Tiles Name

We have used square roots and factoring to solve quadratic equations. The technique we will learn today is called “completing the square.” Completing the square is a useful method to solve any type of quadratic equations, especially those that cannot be factored.

In this activity we will be completing the square for expressions written in the form x2 + bx. The process of completing the square will allow us to write x2 + bx as a binomial square and as a perfect square trinomial.

We want to complete the square of x2 6x , so first let’s model this with algebra tiles. Remember, when

working with algebra tiles, the big square represents the quadratic term x 2 , the little rectangles represent the linear x term, and the tiny squares represent the constant term. The red side represents negative terms for all of these tiles, and the blue, green, and yellow sides represent positive terms.

Figure # 1

The x 2 term will always be in the top left corner of your diagram.Our next step is to align the linear x terms evenly along the big square. We can

do this like the diagram shown. Use the tiles at your desk and create the configuration as in figure #1.

Notice that the bottom right hand corner, in figure #1, is missing and this where ‘completing the square’ comes in. We will fill in that empty space with 9 tiny squares to turn the diagram into figure #2.

Figure # 2 Notice the dimensions of our newly completed square. The square is (x 3) on Completed Square one side, and (x 3) for the other side. The area of this completed square is (x – 3)(x-3) or (x – 3)2 written as a binomial square. This is the same as x2 – 6x + 9 written as a perfect square trinomial.

Therefore, completing the square for x2 – 6xleads us to obtain the perfect square trinomial x2 – 6x + 9 which can also be written as the binomial square (x – 3)2

122

5.5 Group ActivityUsing your group’s collection of algebra tiles, create a model for each of the expressions and use your findings to fill in the chart.
