Explanation:

there are no whole numbers which multiply to - 3

and sum to - 4

we can solve using the method of  

completing the square

the coefficient of the  

x

2

term is 1

coefficient of the x-term

) 2  to x2 − 4 x ⇒ x 2 +2(− 2 ) x + 4 − 4 − 3 = 0 ⇒ ( x − 2 )2 − 7 =0 ⇒ ( x − 2 ) 2 = 7

take the square root of both sides

⇒ x − 2 = ± √ 7 ←

note plus or minus

⇒ x = 2 ± √ 7←

exact solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-4x+3=0

x²-4x=-3

take half of -4 square it and add it to both side

x²-4x+(-2)²=4-3

(x-2)²=1

x-2=±1

x=2±1

x=1,3
