If 3x^2-2x+7=0,then (x-1/3)^2= please help with detailed steps because i dont really understand it. I know the answer is -20/9 but please explain

Answer:

-\dfrac{20}{9}

Explanation:

A quadratic function is a kind of function with highest degree 2 . Standard form of the quadratic equation : tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

Further explanation:

Consider the given quadratic equation : 3x^2-2x+7=0

First we divide both sides by 3 , we get

x^2-\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{7}{3}=0--------(1)

Compare this equation to x^2+2ax+a^2 , we have

2a=\dfrac{-2}{3}

\Rightarrow\ a=\dfrac{-1}{3} [divide both sides by 2]

Now using the completing the squares method , Add and subtract (\dfrac{-1}{3})^2 to the left side in (1), we get

x^2-\dfrac{2}{3}x+(\dfrac{-1}{3})^2-(\dfrac{-1}{3})^2+\dfrac{7}{3}=0

It can be written as

(x^2-2(\dfrac{1}{3})x+\dfrac{1}{3})^2)-\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{7}{3}=0

Use identity x^2-2ax+a^2=(x-a)^2, we have

(x-\dfrac{1}{3})^2)+\dfrac{7(3)-1}{9}=0

(x-\dfrac{1}{3})^2)+\dfrac{20}{9}=0

Subtract \dfrac{20}{9} from both the sides , we get

(x-\dfrac{1}{3})^2)=-\dfrac{20}{9}

Therefore, the value of (x-\dfrac{1}{3})^2)=-\dfrac{20}{9}
