Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(40 + 5x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 40 + 5x + x2 = 0 Solving 40 + 5x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-40' to each side of the equation. 40 + 5x + -40 + x2 = 0 + -40 Reorder the terms: 40 + -40 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -40 Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0 0 + 5x + x2 = 0 + -40 5x + x2 = 0 + -40 Combine like terms: 0 + -40 = -40 5x + x2 = -40 The x term is 5x. Take half its coefficient (2.5). Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides. Add '6.25' to each side of the equation. 5x + 6.25 + x2 = -40 + 6.25 Reorder the terms: 6.25 + 5x + x2 = -40 + 6.25 Combine like terms: -40 + 6.25 = -33.75 6.25 + 5x + x2 = -33.75 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 2.5)(x + 2.5) = -33.75 Can't calculate square root of the right side. The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
