\"+2a%5E2+%2B+1+%2B+2a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2a%5E2+%2B+2a+%2B+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Set it equal to zero
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2a%5E2+%2B+2a+%2B+1+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2a%5E2+%2B+2a+=+-1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a%5E2+%2B+a+=+-1%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Complete the square
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a%5E2+%2B+a+%2B+%281%2F2%29%5E2+=+-1%2F2+%2B+%281%2F2%29%5E2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a%5E2+%2B+a+%2B+1%2F4++=+-2%2F4+%2B+1%2F4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+a+%2B+1%2F2%29%5E2+=+-1%2F4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Take the square root of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+1%2F2+=+%281%2F2%29%2Ai+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+%28+-1+%2B+i+%29%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+%28+-1+-+i+%29%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Hope I got it
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
