Answer:
x = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] , x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
4x² + 4x = 3 ← factor out 4 from each term on the left side
4(x² + x) = 3
to complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + x
4(x² + 2([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )x + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ) = 3
4(x + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides )
4(x + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² = 4 ( divide both sides by 4 )
(x + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² = 1 ( take square root of both sides )
x + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = ± 1 ( subtract [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] from both sides )
x = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ± 1
then
x = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] - 1 = - [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
x = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + 1 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
