Hi! Can anyone help me with this problem? :

Thanks!

First take out a factor of 2:

= 2(x^2 + 2x + 3)

Then complete the square for x^2 + 2x + 3.

Please post your working if you're not sure. If you don't know how to complete the square for x^2 + 2x + 3 then let us know.

Whenever you complete the square, the coefficient of the x^2 term must ALWAYS be one. You can do this by taking out a factor of two from the whole equation, then after that you will be left with 2(x^2+2x+3). Then complete the square on x^2+2x+3

Could you please write down the working? I still don't get it... Thanks.

Sorry we can't give full solutions.

Can you please show us what you've tried? Do you know how to complete the square for (x^2 + 2x + 3)?

Is this correct? :

x²+2x+1 -3+1
(x+1)² -2
(x+1)²+2
