STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the equation x2+8x=9x^{2}+8x=9.
2. We need to write the expanded form of the square equation.
3. We need to write the factored form of the square equation.
4. We need to find a solution to the equation.
5. The equation is not a perfect square, which implies we may need to complete the square to transform it into a square equation.

STEP 2

To write the expanded form of the square equation, we need to complete the square. This involves adding and subtracting a certain number to make the left side of the equation a perfect square trinomial.

STEP 3

Identify the coefficient of xx which is 88 and take half of it, then square the result to find the number to add and subtract.
(82)2=42=16\left(\frac{8}{2}\right)^2 = 4^2 = 16

STEP 4

Add and subtract 1616 to the left side of the equation to complete the square.
x2+8x+1616=9x^2 + 8x + 16 - 16 = 9

STEP 5

Rewrite the equation grouping the perfect square trinomial and moving the constant to the other side of the equation.
x2+8x+16=9+16x^2 + 8x + 16 = 9 + 16

STEP 6

Simplify the right side of the equation.
x2+8x+16=25x^2 + 8x + 16 = 25

STEP 7

Now we have the expanded form of the square equation:
x2+8x+16=25x^2 + 8x + 16 = 25

STEP 8

The factored form of the square equation is obtained by expressing the perfect square trinomial as the square of a binomial.
(x+4)2=25(x + 4)^2 = 25

STEP 9

To find the solution to the equation, we take the square root of both sides.
(x+4)2=±25\sqrt{(x + 4)^2} = \pm\sqrt{25}

STEP 10

Solve for xx.
x+4=±5x + 4 = \pm5

STEP 11

Find the two solutions by separating the positive and negative cases.
For the positive case:
x+4=5x + 4 = 5
x=54x = 5 - 4
x=1x = 1
For the negative case:
x+4=5x + 4 = -5
x=54x = -5 - 4
x=9x = -9

STEP 12

We have found the solutions to the equation, which are x=1x = 1 and x=9x = -9.

STEP 13

Fill in the table with the expanded form, the factored form, and the solutions to the equation.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \begin{tabular}{c} Expanded \\ form of the \\ square \\ equation \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} factored form \\ of the \\ equation \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} What is a \\ solution to \\ this equation? \end{tabular} & \begin{tabular}{c} Did you get it \\ right? \end{tabular} \\ \hline x2+8x+16=25x^2 + 8x + 16 = 25 & (x+4)2=25(x + 4)^2 = 25 & x=1,x=9x = 1, x = -9 & Yes \\ \hline \end{tabular}
