Answer:  [tex]x^2+\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{16}=2 +\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following Quadratic equation:

[tex]x^2+\frac{1}{2}x=2 +[/tex]

You can change its formed by Completing the square.

In order to do Complete the square, you can follow these steps:

1. You can identify that:

[tex]b=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

2. Then, you can find [tex](\frac{b}{2})^2[/tex]. This is:

[tex](\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2})^2=(\frac{1}{4})^2=\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

3. Now you must add [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] to both sides of the Quadratic equation in order to keep the balance. Then:

[tex]x^2+\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{16}=2 +\frac{1}{16}[/tex]

4. Finally, simplifying by actoring and adding the like terms, you get:

[tex](x+\frac{1}{4})^2=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]
