Hi All,

Thank you

You will always be tested on how to complete the square, thus, it is important to know how to do it by hand.

You can do it many ways - quadratic formula, factor theorem and completing the square. Personal factor theorem is the easiest for integers, quadratic formula for square roots and completing the square - nup, hate it - absolute pain.

Not sure with regards to classpad, but on the ti-nspire you can complete the square via Menu > 3 > 5.

If it turns out there doesn't exist such a function on the classpad, I would suggest doing a few practise questions on completing the square from your textbook. At best, you can use your calculator to check you have completed the square correctly i.e. by equating your answer with the original function.
