Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(15 + 5t + -2t2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 15 + 5t + -2t2 = 0 Solving 15 + 5t + -2t2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-2'. -7.5 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '7.5' to each side of the equation. -7.5 + -2.5t + 7.5 + t2 = 0 + 7.5 Reorder the terms: -7.5 + 7.5 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 7.5 Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0 0.0 + -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 7.5 -2.5t + t2 = 0 + 7.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5 -2.5t + t2 = 7.5 The t term is -2.5t. Take half its coefficient (-1.25). Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides. Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation. -2.5t + 1.5625 + t2 = 7.5 + 1.5625 Reorder the terms: 1.5625 + -2.5t + t2 = 7.5 + 1.5625 Combine like terms: 7.5 + 1.5625 = 9.0625 1.5625 + -2.5t + t2 = 9.0625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (t + -1.25)(t + -1.25) = 9.0625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.010398645 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (t + -1.25) equal to 3.010398645 and -3.010398645.
