Question

WHAT ARE THE SOLUTIONS OF: 2x^2 + 2x - 3?

Answer 1

2(x^2+x)-3
=2((x+1/2)^2-(1/2)^2)-3
=2((x+1/2)^2)-2/4-3
=2((x+1/2)^2)-7/2
can you go on ?

Answer 2

No, I don't know where I would go from there. Are you using the quadratic formula?

Answer 3

yes
turn it to standard form
a(x+h)^2-b=0

Answer 4

How would I do that?

Answer 5

2((x+1/2)^2)-7/2=0
((x+1/2)^2)=7/4
root of both sides
x+1/2=+-root(7/4)
