Question 319042: This is my question (not a book question)
Let f(x)= x^2-2x-3
Write f(x) in standard form; (this means use the Complete square method)
How do I start to solve this problem I need it laid out step by step?

Take (1/2) of the x-coefficient and square it to complete the square.
Add and subtract that quantity from the equation.
<--- (1/2) of the x-coefficient
<--- Squared
