The answer is 33.5410197i
When the quadratic expression is x^2 +ax + ..., the binomial square will be
.. (x +(a/2)^2
You have a=-2, so the binomial square will be of the form (x -1)^2. You don't even need to work out the rest of it to know that ...
.. the 4th selection is appropriate.
4 + 2(3x - 7) + 5x
Distribute
4 + 6x -14 + 5x
Combine like terms
-10 +11x or 11x - 10
Third option
Let the number be 'x'.
Three times a number will then give 3x
Therefore the equation will be:
