$x^2-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}x$
Learn how to solve polynomial factorization problems step by step online. Factor by completing the square x^2-x(2^1/2)/2. Divide -\sqrt{2} by 2. Factor the polynomial x^2-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}x. Add and subtract \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2, replacing b by it's value -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}. Now, we can factor x^2+-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}x+\frac{1}{8} as a squared binomial of the form \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^2. Calculate the square root of \frac{1}{8}.
