Question

m^2- 1 7
----m = ----
2 2

Solve by completing the square

Answer 1

you dont believe me ?

Answer 2

2m*2 -m -7 = 0

Answer 3

Is that equation typed correctly? I'm only asking because it'll be a messy answer, and completing the square is not the most efficient way to solve it.

Answer 4

I don't understand it either...

Answer 5

Collegegirl, the first fraction as shown is confusing.

it presently can be shown as:

m^3-m
-------
2

Is that what you want?

Answer 6

Or is it m^2 -m/2 = 7/2

Answer 7

Good question. Either way, completing the square is an awful way to solve it.
