solving this equation by either using the quadratic formula, by factoring or by completing the square..
3x^2 = 15x + 10
completing the square
3x^2 - 15x + ____ = 10
We want the coefficient of x^2 to be 1, divide thru by 3
x^2 - 5x + ____ =
find the value to complete the square: (5/2)^2 = 25/4, add to both sides
x^2 - 5x + = +
;
(x - )^2 = +
:
(x - )^2 =
:
(x - ) = +/-
extract he square root of 1/4
x = + =
and
x =
