I learned this easy way to complete the sqare in the fastest way possible

First you want to get it to x^2. So the first thing you would do is divide the entire equation by 2 to get 2(x^2 -5/2x +3/2). then you do one half of b or in this case -5/2. That would make -5/4. you would put this into the factor.

2( x -5/4 + ) ( x -5/4 - )

Then you square that number (-5/4)

That makes 25/16. you take that number and subtract the last number or the constant, c to make 1/16. now to finish it up you square root that number. the squre root of 1/16 is 1/4. then you put that into the last part of the factor.

2( x -5/4 + 1/4) ( x -5/4 - 1/4)

Then you simplify

(x-1) 2(x-3/2)

(x-1) (2x-3)

now to make sure I am correct, I will re-multiply it out

2x^2 -5x + 3

A) What kinds of living things get their energy directly from the sun?

Flauer [41]

Answer: A) Producers B) Consumers constitute the upper trophic levels. Unlike producers, they cannot make their own food. To get energy, they eat plants or other animals, while some eat both. c) Through the photosynthesis process, producers, such as grass, absorb the sun's light energy to produce food (stored sugar and starches). Consumers cannot make their own food, so they have to consume other organisms. The food of almost any kind of animal can be traced back to plants and the sun.
