Example Question #271 : Quadratic Equations And Inequalities
What will be the equation after completing the square?
To complete the square, we will need to divide the coefficient of the x-variable on the left side of the equation.
Square this number, and add it on both sides of the equation.
Notice that the left side of the equation can be factorized by a single binomial squared. Simplify the right side as well.
The answer is:
