Find the values of a and b such that x^2 + 3x + 4 = (x + a)^2 + b

URGENT!

*silly answers will be reported

a = 1.5

b = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve and replace the result in the initial equation as:

Then, this equality apply only if the coefficient of is equal in both sides and the constant is equal in both sides.

It means that we have two equations:

So, using the first equation and solving for a, we get:

Finally, replacing the value of a in the second equation and solving for b, we get:

i believe the answer is d.

hope it you! : d
