Determine the next step for solving the quadratic equation by completing the square.
0 = –2x2 + 2x + 3
–3 = –2x2 + 2x
–3 = –2(x2 – x)
–3 +
= –2(x2 – x +
)
StartFraction negative 7 Over 2 EndFraction = –2(x – StartFraction 1 Over 2 EndFraction)2
StartFraction 7 Over 4 EndFraction = (x – StartFraction 1 Over 2 EndFraction)2
The two solutions are
Plus or minus StartFraction StartRoot 7 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction.
