(solution is in red box)
The number that would have to be added in the given quadratic equation to complete the square is '-21' and this can be determined by using the factorization method.
Given :
Quadratic equation -- [tex]x^2+8x+37 = 0[/tex]
The following steps can be used in order to determine the number that would have to be added to complete the square:
Step 1 - The factorization method can be used in order to determine the number that would have to be added to complete the square.
Step 2 - Write the given quadratic equation.
[tex]x^2+8x+37 = 0[/tex]
Step 3 - Now, if '-21' is added in the above quadratic equation then the above equation becomes the complete square.
[tex]x^2+8x+37+(-21) = 0[/tex]
[tex]x^2+8x+16 = 0[/tex]
[tex](x+4)^2 = 0[/tex]
