Two of the steps in the derivation of the quadratic formula are shown below. Step 6: = b^2-4ac/4a^2= ( x+b/2a )^2
Step 7: = +✔️b^2-4ac/2a= x + b/2a
Which operation is performed in the derivation of the quadratic formula moving from Step 6 to Step 7?
subtracting b/2a from both sides of the equation squaring both sides of the equation taking the square root of both sides of the equation taking the square root of the discriminant
