An expression to simplify:

The solution

2*p  + 3*p - 2
$$\left(2 p^{2} + 3 p\right) - 2$$
2*p^2 + 3*p - 2
The perfect square
Let's highlight the perfect square of the square three-member
$$\left(2 p^{2} + 3 p\right) - 2$$
To do this, let's use the formula
$$a p^{2} + b p + c = a \left(m + p\right)^{2} + n$$
where
$$m = \frac{b}{2 a}$$
$$n = \frac{4 a c - b^{2}}{4 a}$$
In this case
$$a = 2$$
$$b = 3$$
$$c = -2$$
Then
$$m = \frac{3}{4}$$
$$n = - \frac{25}{8}$$
So,
$$2 \left(p + \frac{3}{4}\right)^{2} - \frac{25}{8}$$
