Consider the first five steps of the derivation of The Quadratic function

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + b²/4a² = -c / a + b²/4a²
x² + (b/2a)² = -c/a + (b/2a)²
(x + b/2a)² = -c/a + (b/2a)² = -c / a + b²/4a² = (-4ac+ b²)/4a²
(x + b/2a)² = (-4ac+ b²)/4a²
√{(x + b/2a)²} = √{(-4ac+ b²)/4a²}
x + b/2a = √(-4ac+ b²) / √(4a²) = √(-4ac+ b²) / 2a = √( b²-4ac) / 2a
x + b/2a = √( b²-4ac) / 2a
x + b/2a -b/2a = {√( b²-4ac) / 2a } -b/2a
x = -b/2a + {√( b²-4ac) / 2a }
x = {-b±√( b²-4ac)}/2a
A quadratic equation is an equation of the sort; ax^2 + bx + c =0. It can be solved by the formula method.
A quadratic equation is an equation of the sort; ax^2 + bx + c =0. One of the ways of solving a quadratic equation is the formula method which is being derived here.
From the step shown in the image in the question;
Collecting like terms;
x² + b²/4a² = -c / a + b²/4a²
x² + (b/2a)² = -c/a + (b/2a)²
We can now write;
(x + b/2a)² = -c/a + (b/2a)²
Hence;
(x + b/2a)² = (-4ac+ b²)/4a²
Taking the square root of both sides and solving for x
x =-b±√( b²-4ac)/2a
