Completing the square: History & Applications

In elementary algebra, completing the square is a technique for converting a quadratic polynomial of the form ⁠ a x 2 + b x + c {\displaystyle \textstyle ax^{2}+bx+c} ⁠ to the form ⁠ a ( x − h ) 2 + k {\displaystyle \textstyle a(x-h)^{2}+k} ⁠ for some values of ⁠ h {\displaystyle h} ⁠ and ⁠ k {\displaystyle k} ⁠. In terms of a new quantity ⁠ x − h…
