Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Start with the given quadratic equation: \(x^2 - 6x - 11 = 0\).
Move the constant term to the other side to isolate the \(x\) terms: \(x^2 - 6x = 11\).
To complete the square, take half of the coefficient of \(x\), which is \(-6\), divide by 2 to get \(-3\), then square it to get \((-3)^2 = 9\).
Add this square (9) to both sides of the equation to maintain equality: \(x^2 - 6x + 9 = 11 + 9\).
Rewrite the left side as a perfect square trinomial: \((x - 3)^2 = 20\).
