Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(2 + 8y + 5y2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + 8y + 5y2 = 0 Solving 2 + 8y + 5y2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 5 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '5'. 0.4 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation. 0.4 + 1.6y + -0.4 + y2 = 0 + -0.4 Reorder the terms: 0.4 + -0.4 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + 1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.4 1.6y + y2 = 0 + -0.4 Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4 1.6y + y2 = -0.4 The y term is 1.6y. Take half its coefficient (0.8). Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides. Add '0.64' to each side of the equation. 1.6y + 0.64 + y2 = -0.4 + 0.64 Reorder the terms: 0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = -0.4 + 0.64 Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.64 = 0.24 0.64 + 1.6y + y2 = 0.24 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (y + 0.8)(y + 0.8) = 0.24 Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.489897949 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (y + 0.8) equal to 0.489897949 and -0.489897949.
