Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We group the number 5:
5(x² + 3x + 2.25)
Now inside the brackets we'll take the square root of the coefficient of the x and the square root of the last number, then remove the square from the x and write it as a sum:
5(x+1.5)²
What's the idea behind this?
Well, remember that when you have something in the form:
(a+b)²
It actually means:
a² + 2ab + b²
In our case a was x, and b was 2.25. For bringing it into the shorter form we have to take the square root of a and b.
Sorry if you don't understand. Tell me if you need help to get the xoncept better.
