Steps for Completing the Square

Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by completing the square. In order to complete the square, the equation must first be in the form x^{2}+bx=c.

$$5975x^{2}+450125x-706653125=0$$

Add 706653125 to both sides of the equation.

$$5975x^{2}+450125x-706653125-\left(-706653125\right)=-\left(-706653125\right)$$

Subtracting -706653125 from itself leaves 0.

$$5975x^{2}+450125x=-\left(-706653125\right)$$

Subtract -706653125 from 0.

$$5975x^{2}+450125x=706653125$$

Divide both sides by 5975.

$$\frac{5975x^{2}+450125x}{5975}=\frac{706653125}{5975}$$

Dividing by 5975 undoes the multiplication by 5975.

$$x^{2}+\frac{450125}{5975}x=\frac{706653125}{5975}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{450125}{5975} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x^{2}+\frac{18005}{239}x=\frac{706653125}{5975}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{706653125}{5975} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x^{2}+\frac{18005}{239}x=\frac{28266125}{239}$$

Divide \frac{18005}{239}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get \frac{18005}{478}. Then add the square of \frac{18005}{478} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.

$$x^{2}+\frac{18005}{239}x+\left(\frac{18005}{478}\right)^{2}=\frac{28266125}{239}+\left(\frac{18005}{478}\right)^{2}$$

Steps Using Direct Factoring Method

Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by a new direct factoring method that does not require guess work. To use the direct factoring method, the equation must be in the form x^2+Bx+C=0.This is achieved by dividing both sides of the equation by 5975

$$x ^ 2 +\frac{18005}{239}x +\frac{28266125}{239} = 0$$

Let r and s be the factors for the quadratic equation such that x^2+Bx+C=(x−r)(x−s) where sum of factors (r+s)=−B and the product of factors rs = C

$$r + s = -\frac{18005}{239} rs = \frac{28266125}{239}$$

Two numbers r and s sum up to -\frac{18005}{239} exactly when the average of the two numbers is \frac{1}{2}*-\frac{18005}{239} = -\frac{18005}{478}. You can also see that the midpoint of r and s corresponds to the axis of symmetry of the parabola represented by the quadratic equation y=x^2+Bx+C. The values of r and s are equidistant from the center by an unknown quantity u. Express r and s with respect to variable u. <div style='padding: 8px'><img src='https://opalmath.azureedge.net/customsolver/quadraticgraph.png' style='width: 100%;max-width: 700px' /></div>

$$r = -\frac{18005}{478} - u s = -\frac{18005}{478} + u$$

To solve for unknown quantity u, substitute these in the product equation rs = \frac{28266125}{239}

$$(-\frac{18005}{478} - u) (-\frac{18005}{478} + u) = \frac{28266125}{239}$$

Simplify by expanding (a -b) (a + b) = a^2 – b^2

$$\frac{749052713}{142802500} - u^2 = \frac{28266125}{239}$$

Simplify the expression by subtracting \frac{749052713}{142802500} on both sides

$$-u^2 = \frac{28266125}{239}-\frac{749052713}{142802500} = \frac{1947332341}{142802500}$$

Simplify the expression by multiplying -1 on both sides and take the square root to obtain the value of unknown variable u

$$u^2 = -\frac{1947332341}{142802500} u = \pm\sqrt{-\frac{1947332341}{142802500}} = \pm \frac{\sqrt{1947332341}}{11950}i$$

The factors r and s are the solutions to the quadratic equation. Substitute the value of u to compute the r and s.

$$r =-\frac{18005}{478} - \frac{\sqrt{1947332341}}{11950}i = -383.626 s = -\frac{18005}{478} + \frac{\sqrt{1947332341}}{11950}i = 308.291$$
