There is no solution. I know this because the answer to an absolute value expression cannot be a negative.

Let´s explain. The absolute value means how far the number is from 0. You can´t be -5 units away from 0, right? This is why the answer to an absolute value expression cannot be negative.

Since the whole left side of the equation is surrounded by absolute value bars, it should be equal to a positive number. But it's not. So, there is no solution.

Complete each trinomial such that it can be rewritten in the form a(x+b)^2 or a(x-b)^2

The value of the expression in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

<h3>Vertex Form of a quadratic expression</h3>

Given the quadratic expressions

1.5x^2+6x+......

1.5(x^2 + 4x)

Using the completing the square method

The coefficient of x = 4

Half of the coefficient = 4/2 = 2

The square of the result = 2^2 = 4

The equation is expressed as:

f(x) = 1.5(x^2+4x+ 4) - 4

f(x) = 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

Hence the value of the expression in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4
