sky_will3: can you complete this square? 3msquared-17m-6=0
Yes
3m
2 - 17m - 6 = 0
Start by dividing through by 3 (the coefficient of m
2 needs to be 1)
m
2 - (17/3)m - 6/3 = 0
(and 6/3=2)
m
2 - (17/3)m = 2
Now it looks more normal, if you can do easy completing the square questions, you should be able to do this one.
Post again if you need more help.
