Rewrite x^2 − 2x − 3 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to determine the a and b values.

a = 4 and b = 3
a = 3 and b = 2
a = 2 and b = 1
a = 1 and b = 4

a=1 and b=4


hope this makes sense :)
Rewrite x^2 − 2x − 3 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to-example-1
