Because the coefficient of x^2 is -1, we know that a will be -1. Knowing that the coefficient of x is -4, we can calculate that p=2. Thus, we have -1(x+2)^2+q is our equation. This is equal to -x^2-4x-4+q. As the constant term must be 2, we can then see that q is 6.
As such, we have -1(x+2)^2+6=0 as our factorization.
To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula. Plugging in values, we have:

which is equal to: (when the fraction is simplified)

Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + 1/2 is a simple addition fraction problem.
You'd find the LCM (lowest common denominator) which is 6. First, we'll take 1/3 which the denominator becomes 6. You see one side has been basically multiplied by 2, so you'd do it to both sides, giving us 2/6. Next, we do the same thing with 1/2. 2 -> 6 1 -> 3. 3/6. So finally, we have 3/6 + 2/6, which is 5/6.
