------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------
Add a constant
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x + (4/2)² - (4/2)² = 0 ← Add 2² to form perfect square

------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate bracket
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x + 2² - 2² = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------
Form the perfect square
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x + 2)² = 4

------------------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x+2) = $\pm$ √4

------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the square root
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x+2) = $\pm$ 2

------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 2 - 2 or x = -2 - 2

x = 0 or -4

------------------------------------------------------------------
The constant to add is 4 and the value of x = 0 or -4
------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
