Question

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Answer 1

Answer:

2.25

Explanation:

Consider the square ...

... (x+a)² = x² +2ax +a²

The constant term (a²) is the square of half the x-coefficient: a² = (2a/2)².

The x-coefficient in your expression is 3. The square of half that is ...

... (3/2)² = 9/4 = 2.25

Adding 2.25 to both sides gives ...

... x² +3x + 2.25 = 6 + 2.25

... (x +1.5)² = 8.25 . . . . completed square
