Document Summary

Set each component on the left equal to zero. 2x - 1 = 0 (add 1 to both sides) Add 2 to both sides. x2 = 3 x-2 = (cid:888) x = (cid:885) x = 2 (cid:888) Step 3 take 1/2 of b, then square the result. (1/2 b)2. Step 5 you now have a perfect square on the left. Solve for x2 - 6x + 4 = 0 a=1; b=-6; c=4. Identify a, b, and c. set the equation equal to c. x2 - 6x = -4 (1/2 b)2 = ((cid:1005)/(cid:1006) -6)2 = -32 = 9. Add this to both sides. x2 - 6x + 9 = -4 + 9. Take the left side an make it a squared binomial. Simplify the right. (x - 3)2 = 5. Solve for x. x = 3 = x - 3 = (cid:887) Identify a, b, and c. a=2, b=-6, c=1.
