ik the forumla is this:
x = [ -b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ] / 2a
Nnesha (nnesha):
well we should use complete the square method
you can move the constant term to the right side
OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):
x is the term correct?
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[ \huge\rm 4x^2 − 12x + 3 = 0\]
subtract 3 both sides

not just x
term are divided by plus or negative sign
OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):
uh... subtract the 4x^2 by 3 and the 12 by 3?
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\huge\rm Ax^2+Bx+C=0\]quadratic e quation where
A=leading coefficient
B=middle term
C=constant term(number with no variable )

you can't combine -3 and 4x^2 they arn't like terms
