How do i complete the square when the x² value is more than one? For example if it was 3x² + 2x - 1
I had a really bad teacher last year and I have mocks in like 3 weeks and I still don't get it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

so in this case it would be 3[x^2+2/3x-1/3]

Factorise the co-effecient of x^2 so that it becomes 1
so in this case it would be 3[x^2+2/3x-1/3]

3[x^2+2/3x]-1
Because it has less fractions to deal with, but they'll both get you the same answer in the end
