Multiple Choice

Solve Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square
Determine the constant that should be added to the binomial so that it becomes a perfect square trinomial. Then
write and factor the trinomial.
- $$x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 6 } x$$

• A) \(\frac { 1 } { 144 } ; x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 6 } x + \frac { 1 } { 144 } = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 12 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• B) \(\frac { 1 } { 36 } ; x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 6 } x + \frac { 1 } { 36 } = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 6 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• C) \(\frac { 1 } { 12 } ; x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 6 } x + \frac { 1 } { 12 } = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 6 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• D) \(144 ; x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 6 } x + 144 = ( x + 12 ) ^ { 2 }\)
