You can put this solution on YOUR website! We must complete the square as step one.
(1300/2)^2 = 422,500. Add to both sides.
x^2 + 1300x + 422,500 = -1300 + 422,500
x^2 + 1300x + 422,500 = 421,200
(x + 650)(x + 650) = 421,200
(x + 650)^2 - 421,200 = 0
c = -421,2000
b = 650
So, c/b = -421,200/650
c/b = -648
