You are solving ax^2+bx+c=0(where a doesn't=0) by completing the square as shown below. How should you proceed to step 3?
Step 1- ax^2+bx=-c
Step 2- x^2+b/a x=-c/a.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! How should you proceed to step 3?
Step 1- ax^2 + bx =-c
Step 2- x^2 + b/a x =-c/a
Find the 3rd term to complete the square, half the coefficient of x, squared
Step 3: x^2 + (b/a)x + (b/2a)^2 = -c/a + (b/2a)^2
