You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A quadratic equation in standard form is: $\"+ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You provided only an expression, so I assume your equation was:
\n" ); document.write( "2(x-3)(x-3) +1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the first (x-3) by the constant 2.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(2x-6)(x-3) +1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now use FOIL.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(2x^2 -6x -6x - 18) +1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Collect terms.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 -12x -17 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "That's it. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
