B. Solve for the roots by completing the square. Show your complete solutions.

1.         x2 + 6x + 8 = 0

x2 + 6x + 8 = 0 Given
x2 + 6x = - 8 APE
x2 + 6x + 9 = - 8 + 9 Completing the Square
(x + 3) 2 = 1 Completing the Square
√(x + 3) 2 = √1 Square Root both Sides
x+3=±1 Square Root Property
x=±1-3 Isolate x
x=-1-3 x=1-3 Split Equation into two
x = - 4 x = -2 Simplify
x = {-4,-2} Solution Set

 2.         j2 – 6j = 91

j2 – 6j = 91 Given
j – 6j + 9 = 91+ 9
2
Completing the Square
(j - 3) 2 = 100 Completing the Square
√(j - 3) 2 = √100 Square Root both Sides
j - 3 = ± 10 Square Root Property
j = ± 10 + 3 Isolate j
j = - 10 + 3 j = 10 + 3 Split Equation into two
j = -7 j = 13 Simplify
j = {-7,13} Solution Set

3.         x2 + 5x = -5X + 11

x2 + 5x = -5x + 11 Given

x2 + 10x = 11 Combine like terms
x2 + 10x + 25 = 11+ 25 Completing the Square
(x + 5) 2 = 36 Completing the Square
√(x + 5) 2 = √36 Square Root both Sides
x+ 5 = ± 6 Square Root Property
x=±6-5 Isolate x
x=-6-5 j=6-5 Split Equation into two
x = -11 x = 1 Simplify
x = {-11,1} Solution Set
