Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
4( x + 1.5)^2 + 0
Discussion:
4x^2 + 12x + 9 = => factor "4" from first 2 terms
4 (x^2 + 3x) + 9 = => complete the square, add\subtract (1.5)^2
4(x^2 + 3x + (1.5)^2) - 4 (1.5)^2 + 9 =
4 ( x + 1.5)^2 + ( 9 - 4(1.5)^2) = => as (1.5)^2 = 2.25
4 ( x + 1.5)^2 + ( 9 - 4(2.25)) = => as 4 ( 2.25) = 9
4 ( x+ 1.5)^2 + 0
Thank you,
MrB
4m+9+5m-12=42
9m-3=42
Divide bothsides by 9.
9m/9 -3/9=-0.3=-4
m=-4
I think it is ae if i get it wrong sorry goodluck
