Answer

To complete the square for an equation in the form of , you need to add \(\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2\) to both sides of the equation.In the given equation , the value of is .So, the value to add to both sides to complete the square is \(\left(\frac{5/3}{2}\right)^2\).\(\left(\frac{5/3}{2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^2 = \frac{25}{36}\).The correct answer is:(A) \(\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^2\)
