You can put this solution on YOUR website!
square root x-1=x-1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x - 1 = (x-1)^2; as you did
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x - 1 = x^2 - 2x + 1; FOILed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "0 = x^2 -2x - x + 1 + 1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A quadratic equation:
