$\"%281%2F4%29x%5E2+%2B+17%2F4+=+2x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First multiply by 4.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2%2B17=8x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-8x%2B17=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Complete the square in x.
\n" ); document.write( "Add, to both sides, the square of (1/2) of the x coefficient.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2-8x%2B16%2B17=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x-4%29%5E2=-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-4=0+%2B-+i\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=4+%2B-+i\"$ where $\"i=sqrt%28-1%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
