Complete the square x^2-3x+ _ ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

for any \(\large\color{slate}{ x^2+mx }\), you would need to add \(\large\color{slate}{ \left( \frac{m}{2} \right)^2 }\) to complete the square.

OpenStudy (kl0723):

also remeber to take away/substract what you have added in order to keep the eq balanced

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

very slowly, but surely, tackling the completing the square method.

So x^2-3x+3/2^2?

OpenStudy (kl0723):

yes you m=3 so divide it by two and then square the whole term what do u get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.25

OpenStudy (kl0723):

yes, I'll post the worked out problem so u can see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kl0723):
