F(x) = 2x2 – 4x – 3

Answer 1

Mica should have added 2 to 3 instead of 1

Answer 2

Answer:

Mica should have added 2 to 3 instead of 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 – 4x – 3

0 = 2x^2 – 4x – 3

Mica added 3 on boths sides and factored out 2

3 = 2(x^2 – 2x)

We have 2 outside the parenthesis , so we multiply 1 with 2  and add it one left side

3 + 1 = 2(x^2 – 2x + 1) Error in this step

The above step becomes 3 + 2 = 2(x^2 – 2x + 1)

Mica should have added 2 to 3 instead of 1.
