4x^2+ 7x = 15 complete square
-----
4(x^2 + (7/4)x + ?) = 15 + 4*?
-----
4(x^2 + (7/4)x + (7/8)^2) = 15 + 4(7/8)^2
----
4(x+(7/8))^2 = (15*64+28)/64
----
4(x+(7/8)^2) = 988/64
(x+(7/8))^2 = 247/64
-----
x+(7/8) = sqrt(247)/8 or x+(7/8) = -sqrt(247/8
----
x = [-7 + sqrt(247)]/8 or x = [-7-sqrt(247]/8

This is now in the right form to complete the square
Take 1/2 of the co-efficient of the term,
square it, then add it to both sides.
--------------------
Take the square root of both sides
And also take the negative square root of
-----------
The roots are and
The factoring is
check:
Multiply both sides by
OK
Here's the plot
