Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.
Adiya method is incorrect. She should have take the half of the coefficient of x, square it and add the result to both sides
Given the equation solved by completing the square method given as:
[tex]x^2 + 6 = 20x[/tex]
To use the method, we need to first collect the like terms as shwn;
[tex]x^2 - 20x = - 6[/tex]
Take the half of the coefficient of x
-20/2 = -10
Squre the result
[tex](-10)^2 = 100[/tex]
Add to both sdes
[tex]x^2 - 20x + 100 = - 6 + 100\\x^2 - 20x + 100 = 94[/tex]
Based on the steps above, Adiya method is incorrect. She should have take the half of the coefficient of x, square it and add the result to both sides
