Student[Precalculus][CompleteSquare] - transform quadratic expressions to completed square form
Calling Sequence
CompleteSquare(f, x, ...)
Parameters
f
-
algebraic expression, equation, or an inequality involving algebraic terms
x
(optional) name, function, list, or set
...
(optional) name or function
Description
The CompleteSquare(f, x) command, where f is a quadratic expression, equation, or an inequality in x, completes the square of f. If f is not itself quadratic in x, its subexpressions are examined, and any which are quadratic in x are transformed to completed square form.
If x is a list or set, the operation of completing the square is applied successively to each component of x. These components can be names, such as and , or functions, such as and .
The CompleteSquare(f) command is equivalent to CompleteSquare(f, indets(f,name)).
The command CompleteSquare(f, [x, y]) is equivalent to the command CompleteSquare(f, x, y).
The completed square form of the general quadratic expression is .
