What number must you add to the polynomial below to complete the square? x^2 - 3x A. 9/4 B. 3/2 C. -9/4 D. -3/2

I think it should be A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Erak please write the way too how you get the right answer not just directly the answer please

OpenStudy (erak):

I was looking for an explanation, that's why I said "I think" at first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so than you say that is A. so can you prove it too that is right answer ? thank you

OpenStudy (erak):

The negative b value threw me off, but just taking 3/2 and squaring it will give you 9/4. I was just solving it on a piece of paper to make sure.
