QUESTION 4 - 1 POINT Complete the square to make a perfect square trinomial. Then, write the result as a binomial squared. m² + m/3

Answer :

Given

m² + m/3​

Find

Complete the square to make a perfect square trinomial.

Explanation

Assume the missing part of the expression be k

so , the equation becomes ,

[tex]m^2+\frac{1}{3}m+k[/tex]

to solve for k , we need to square the half the coefficient of m.

since the coefficient of m is 1/3 , then

k =

[tex]\begin{gathered} (\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{3})^2 \\ \\ (\frac{1}{6})^2 \\ \\ \frac{1}{36} \end{gathered}[/tex]

hence ,

[tex]\begin{gathered} m^2+\frac{1}{3}m+\frac{1}{36} \\ (m+\frac{1}{6})^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final Answer

Hence , the result as binomial squared is

[tex](m+\frac{1}{6})^2[/tex]
