Hi there!
We can use "Completing the Square" to solve:
f(x) = x² - x + 2
Group the variables. The "x" term's coefficient will be divided by two and squared for the third part of the trinomial. Remember to subtract by the third term:
f(x) = x² - x + (1/2)² + 2 - (1/2)²
Group:
f(x) = (x - 1/2)² + 2 - 1/4
Rewrite:
f(x) = (x - 1/2)² - 7/4
Thus, the first answer is correct.
