Step 1.1.1

Apply the product rule to $- \frac{19}{2}$ .

${(- 1)}^{2} {(\frac{19}{2})}^{2}$

Step 1.1.2

Apply the product rule to $\frac{19}{2}$ .

${(- 1)}^{2} \frac{19^{2}}{2^{2}}$

Step 1.2

Raise $- 1$ to the power of $2$ .

$1 \frac{19^{2}}{2^{2}}$

Step 1.3

Multiply $\frac{19^{2}}{2^{2}}$ by $1$ .

$\frac{19^{2}}{2^{2}}$

Step 1.4

Raise $19$ to the power of $2$ .

$\frac{361}{2^{2}}$

Step 1.5

Raise $2$ to the power of $2$ .

$\frac{361}{4}$

Step 2

Add $\frac{361}{4}$ to get the perfect square trinomial.

$x^{2} - 19 x + \frac{361}{4}$
