Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-8 + -2x + 5x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -8 + -2x + 5x2 = 0 Solving -8 + -2x + 5x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 5 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '5'. -1.6 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '1.6' to each side of the equation. -1.6 + -0.4x + 1.6 + x2 = 0 + 1.6 Reorder the terms: -1.6 + 1.6 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6 Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0 0.0 + -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6 -0.4x + x2 = 0 + 1.6 Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6 -0.4x + x2 = 1.6 The x term is -0.4x. Take half its coefficient (-0.2). Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides. Add '0.04' to each side of the equation. -0.4x + 0.04 + x2 = 1.6 + 0.04 Reorder the terms: 0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 1.6 + 0.04 Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.04 = 1.64 0.04 + -0.4x + x2 = 1.64 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.2)(x + -0.2) = 1.64 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.280624847 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.2) equal to 1.280624847 and -1.280624847.
