Answer

Fill the blanks in this order: $1,-2,-1$ $-2,-2,-1,1$ $2,8,2$ $2$ $2\sqrt{2},\ 2\sqrt{2}$

Work Step by Step

$ x^{2}-2x-1=0\qquad$... solve with the Quadratic formula. $a=1,\ b=-2,\ c=-1$ $x=\displaystyle \frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4\cdot 1\cdot(-1)}}{2\cdot 1}$ $x=\displaystyle \frac{2\pm\sqrt{8}}{2}$ $x=\displaystyle \frac{2}{2}\pm\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2}$ The solutions are $1+2\sqrt{2}$ and $1-2\sqrt{2.}$
