You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve each quadratic equation by completing the square.
1.X^2+4x+2=0
x^2+4x+? = -2+?
x^2+4x+4 = -2+4
(x+2)^2 = 2
---
x+2 = sqrt(2) or x+2 = -sqrt(2)
x = -2+sqrt(2) or x = -2-sqrt(2)
---------------------------------------
2.X^2+8x=1
x^2+8x+? = -1+?
x^2+8x+16 = -1+16
(x+4)^2 = 15
x+4 = sqrt(15) or x+4 = -sqrt(15)
---
x = -4+sqrt(15) or x = -4-sqrt(15)
-------------------------------------------
3.X^2+2=6x+4
x^2-6x = 2
x^2-6x+? = 2+?
x^2-6x+9 = 2+9
(x-3)^2 = 11
x-3 = sqrt(11) or x-3 = -sqrt(11)
x = 3+sqrt(11) or x = 3-sqrt(11)
