Algebra 1, sem.2; /show work ♥ florence began deriving the quadratic formula. ax² + bx + c = 0 x^2+b/a x+c/a=0 x^2+b/a x=−c/a what step should florence do next?

The next step is to take the coefficient of x (which is b / a), divide it by 2, square that and then add it to both sides of the equation.

(b / a) ÷ 2 = (b / 2a) then, when we square that it equals

b² / 4a² then we would add that to both sides of the equation.
