WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! 30 POINTS! Replace * with a number in such a way that the trinomial could be rewritten in the form a(x+b)^2 or a(x−b)^2.

2x^2−5x + *

(basically you just need to complete the square)

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
