What is the Integration by Completing the Square Calculator & How does it work?
Completing the square is a technique used to rewrite quadratic expressions in a form that makes it easier to integrate. This method involves transforming the expression into a perfect square trinomial, which can then be integrated using standard techniques.
The general form of a quadratic expression is ax^2 + bx + c. To complete the square, we add and subtract (b/2a)^2 to the expression, resulting in a perfect square trinomial: a(x + b/2a)^2 – (b/2a)^2 + c.

int ax^2 + bx + c , dx = frac{a}{3}x^3 + frac{b}{2}x^2 + cx + C
a = coefficient of x^2
b = coefficient of x
c = constant term
C = integration constant
b = coefficient of x
c = constant term
C = integration constant
