anonymous · Answer

do u rmember how to do the completing the square?

xbeenchantedx · Answer

No, I'm a little rusty on that.

anonymous · Answer

attachment

anonymous · Answer

if i just give u that. can u understand?

anonymous · Answer

but. at first. u must divide the whole eq with the 'a' in ax2

anonymous · Answer

then,the first step u will got this.
$$2(x ^{2} - \frac{ 11 }{ 2 }x -\frac{ 18 }{ 2 })$$

anonymous · Answer

next,
$$2(x ^{2} - \frac{ 11 }{ 2 }x = 9)$$

anonymous · Answer

then, u may continue with the help of attachment that i had gave u early. u try it first n tell me the ans

xbeenchantedx · Answer

i have absolutely no idea how I even got (x-11/2)^2=47/4 but that's what I got.

anonymous · Answer

that is called completing the square formula.. u want or not. the formula is like that. :D
