Talk:Completing the square

The AIME Problem looks like an example of Simon's Favorite Factoring trick, which is related to, but not really the same thing as completing the square.--MCrawford 19:44, 17 June 2006 (EDT)

Hmm, then maybe the problem should you moved to that section? Or maybe the Factoring article even. -Eryaman

Motivations

I think we need to fix up the motivations section. -chess64

I agree, there are misspelled words and the first sentence is a bit weird...I'll see if I can make a few changes. -eryaman

General Solution For A Quadratic by Completing the Square

Okay, I changed this from a quadratic with coefficient one to basically just a derivation of the quadratic formula. I feel this fits the section better and is more useful knowlegewise. However, I have some Latex problems that someone needs to fix...

PenguinIntegral-I fixed one of the problems by adding * for mulitplication. It's just a quick hack solution, I hope the latex problem get's fixed.
