A portion of the Quadratic Formula proof is shown. Fill in the missing reason. Statements Reasons
ax2 + bx + c = 0 Given
ax2 + bx = −c Subtract c from both sides of the equation
x squared plus b over a times x equals negative c over a Divide both sides of the equation by a
x squared plus b over a times x plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared equals negative c over a plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared Complete the square and add the quantity b over 2 times a squared to both sides
x squared plus b over a times x plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared equals negative c over a plus b squared over 4 times a squared Square the quantity b over 2 times a on the right side of the equation
x squared plus b over a times x plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared equals negative 4 times a times c over 4 times a squared plus b squared over 4 times a squared Find a common denominator on the right side of the equation
x squared plus b over a times x plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared equals b squared minus 4 times a times c all over 4 times a squared ?
