Strange way to ask for "completing the square".

%28x%2Bd%29%28x%2Bd%29=x%5E2%2B2dx%2Bd%5E2=x%5E2%2Btx%2B1%2F3

system%28d%5E2=1%2F3%2C+and%2C+2d=t%29


Your value for d is %281%2Fsqrt%283%29%29%28sqrt%283%29%2Fsqrt%283%29%29=sqrt%283%29%2F3
or more like
system%28d=sqrt%283%29%2F3%2Cor%2Cd=-sqrt%283%29%2F3%29


The term, tx, to complete the square to form the square quadratic trinomial, is system%28t=2%28sqrt%283%29%29x%2F3%2COR%2C-2%28sqrt%283%29%29x%2F3%29.
