Exercise
$2x^2-13x-6$
Step-by-step Solution
Learn how to solve differential calculus problems step by step online. Factor the expression 2x^2-13x+-6. Use the complete the square method to factor the trinomial of the form ax^2+bx+c. Take common factor a (2) to all terms. Add and subtract \displaystyle\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2. Factor the perfect square trinomial x^2+-\frac{13}{2}x+\frac{169}{16}. Simplify the addition \left(x- \frac{13}{4}\right)^2-3-\frac{169}{16}.
