Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(10 + 5x + -4x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 10 + 5x + -4x2 = 0 Solving 10 + 5x + -4x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -4 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-4'. -2.5 + -1.25x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '2.5' to each side of the equation. -2.5 + -1.25x + 2.5 + x2 = 0 + 2.5 Reorder the terms: -2.5 + 2.5 + -1.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.5 Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + -1.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.5 -1.25x + x2 = 0 + 2.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5 -1.25x + x2 = 2.5 The x term is -1.25x. Take half its coefficient (-0.625). Square it (0.390625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.390625' to each side of the equation. -1.25x + 0.390625 + x2 = 2.5 + 0.390625 Reorder the terms: 0.390625 + -1.25x + x2 = 2.5 + 0.390625 Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.390625 = 2.890625 0.390625 + -1.25x + x2 = 2.890625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.625)(x + -0.625) = 2.890625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.700183814 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.625) equal to 1.700183814 and -1.700183814.
