I have only just recently started this topic ... (3 topic in AS maths for me)
I have 1 question with two parts.I just can't seem to get the answer!
"Express, in the form [tex](px+q)^2 + r [/tex] whereby p > 0"
a) [tex] 16x^2 -8x +11[/tex]
b) [tex] 9x^2 +3x +1[/tex]
I don't seem to find a problem doing any of these when the coefficient of X squared is 1, but when it is bigger than 1, it causes me problems!
I would be gratefull if some once could at least help me through the first 1, so i can understand the method.Thanks.
Regards
Mo
