OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok there is a quick way to convert \(\large ax^2+bx+c=0\rightarrow (x+d)^2=-e/a\) use thisto continue http://prntscr.com/4t1tc3

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

in ur question \(a=1\\b=-2\\c=-3\) find d and e

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Ok Sooo... \(\large x^2+-2x+-3=0\rightarrow (x+d)^2=-e/1\)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes :D

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

so d=-2/2=-1 e=-3-4/4=-3-1=-4 got it ?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Does -e = 4?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

wait So it would be \[\large (x+-1)^2=4 \]

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Right?
