Fill in the blank with a constant, so that the resulting quadratic is the square of a binomial. \[x^2 + \dfrac{4}{5}x + \underline{}\]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the incomplete quadratic equation , we are to complete it so that the result will be the square of a binomial. To do that, we will use the completing the square method.

Completing the square method is a way of completing a quadratic equation by solving for a constant to add that will make the quadratic equation a perfect square of a binomial.

To get the constant term using the method, we will take the square of the alf of the coefficient of x in the equation given.  

Coefficient of x = 4/5

half of the coefficient of x = 1/2(4/5)

half of the coefficient of x = 4/10 = 2/5

Square of the half of the coefficient of x = (2/5)²

Square of the half of the coefficient of x = 4/25

Hence the constant that we will use to complete the equation to make if a square of a binomial is 4/25

The equation will become:

Hence the constant value that will make the resulting quadratic the square of a binomial is 4/25

step-by-step explanation:

in the absence of parentheses, i will have to make some assumptions:   i interpret your (3x+5/y^6)(4y^3/5)​ to mean:

3x + 5     4y^(3/5)       (3x + 5)(4)

* =

    y^6             1               y^(6-3/5)

if this is not what you expected, repost your question using parentheses to indicate whether you meant

4y^3

    or   4y^(3/5)

    5
