What must be added each of the following expression to make it a whole square?

(i)


(ii)

(i)

(2x)2 – 2 (2x) (3) + 32 – 32 + 7


= (2x – 3)2 – 9 + 7


= (2x – 3)2 – 2


Hence, 2 must be added to the expression in order to make a whole square


(ii)


(2x)2 – 2 (2x) (5) + 52 – 52 + 20


= (2x – 5)2 – 25 + 20


= (2x – 5)2 – 5


Hence, 5 must be added to the expression in order to make it a whole square
