Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(2 + 7x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + 7x + 2x2 = 0 Solving 2 + 7x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. 1 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + 3.5x + -1 + x2 = 0 + -1 Reorder the terms: 1 + -1 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + -1 3.5x + x2 = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 3.5x + x2 = -1 The x term is 3.5x. Take half its coefficient (1.75). Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides. Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation. 3.5x + 3.0625 + x2 = -1 + 3.0625 Reorder the terms: 3.0625 + 3.5x + x2 = -1 + 3.0625 Combine like terms: -1 + 3.0625 = 2.0625 3.0625 + 3.5x + x2 = 2.0625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 1.75)(x + 1.75) = 2.0625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.436140662 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 1.75) equal to 1.436140662 and -1.436140662.
