Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Solve for x: x^2 + 4x + 1 = 0 using completing the square.
[2 marks]2.
Complete the square for the expression: x^2 + 6x.
[3 marks]3.
Find the value of x: 2x^2 + 8x + 6 = 0 by completing the square.
[3 marks]4.
Construct the quadratic expression by completing the square: x^2 + 10x + 25.
[2 marks]5.
Solve for x: x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0 by completing the square.
[3 marks]6.
A quadratic equation is given as x^2 + 8x + k = 0. If the solution by completing the square results in x = -4 ± √(k+16), find the value of k.
[4 marks]7.
Solve: x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0 by completing the square.
[3 marks]8.
Explain the steps to solve the quadratic equation x^2 + 12x + 36 = 0 by completing the square.
[4 marks]9.
In the equation x^2 + 14x + 49 = 0, identify the completed square form and find the root.
[2 marks]10.
Identify and correct the mistake: To solve x^2 + 4x + 3 = 0 by completing the square, a student writes: x^2 + 4x = -3, then (x + 2)^2 = 1, and concludes x = -2 ± 1. Is this correct? If not, correct the error.
