1. To complete the square on x in x2 + 6x, find one-half of 6, square it to get 9, and add to both sides of the equation to get (x + 3)2 = 9

2. Use factoring to solve the equation.
Factor 9  9 (y2 - 64) = 0  divide both sides by 9  y2 - 64 = 0  Rearrange: y2 = 64  y is either 8 or - 8
9y2 - 576 = 0
y = -8 (smaller value)
y = 8 (larger value)

3. Use factoring to solve the equation.
Rearrange to get: t2 - 4t + 3 = 0, then factor for t and find two numbers that if you multiply them you get + 3 and if you add them you get -4  The numbers are -1 nd -3  (t - 1)(t - 3) = 0, therefore, t is either 1 or 3
4t - 3 = t2
t = 1 (smaller value)
t = 3 (larger value)

4. Use the square root property to solve the following equation. (Enter solutions from smallest to largest.)

u = + 108 OR u = - 108  108 can be written as 227
u = - 227

u = + 2 27

5. Use the square root property to solve the following equation. (Enter solutions from smallest to largest.)
Either y-1 = +4 ...
