To complete the proof of the quadratic formula and fill in the missing reason in the last step of your table, follow these steps carefully:
### Proof Steps:
1. Given:
[tex]\[
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
\][/tex]
2. Subtract [tex]\( c \)[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]\[
ax^2 + bx = -c
\][/tex]
Reason: Subtract [tex]\( c \)[/tex] from both sides of the equation.
3. Divide both sides by [tex]\( a \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
x^2 + \frac{b}{a} x = -\frac{c}{a}
\][/tex]
Reason: Divide both sides of the equation by [tex]\( a \)[/tex].
4. Complete the square and add [tex]\( \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2 \)[/tex] to both sides:
[tex]\[
x^2 + \frac{b}{a} x + \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2 = -\frac{c}{a} + \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2
\][/tex]
Reason: Complete the square and add [tex]\( \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2 \)[/tex] to both sides of the equation.
5. Square [tex]\( \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right) \)[/tex] on the right side of the equation:
[tex]\[
x^2 + \frac{b}{a} x + \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2 = -\frac{c}{a} + \frac{b^2}{4a^2}
\][/tex]
Reason: Square [tex]\( \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right) \)[/tex] on the right side of the equation.
6. Find a common denominator on the right side of the equation:
[tex]\[
x^2 + \frac{b}{a} x + \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2 = -\frac{4ac}{4a^2} + \frac{b^2}{4a^2}
\][/tex]
Reason: Find a common denominator on the right side of the equation.
7. Add the terms on the right side of the equation:
[tex]\[
x^2 + \frac{b}{a} x + \left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2 = \frac{b^2 - 4ac}{4a^2}
\][/tex]
Reason: Add the terms on the right side of the equation.
