Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(1 + -8x2 + 5x4)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -8x2 + 5x4 = 0 Solving 1 + -8x2 + 5x4 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 5 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '5'. 0.2 + -1.6x2 + x4 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation. 0.2 + -1.6x2 + -0.2 + x4 = 0 + -0.2 Reorder the terms: 0.2 + -0.2 + -1.6x2 + x4 = 0 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + -1.6x2 + x4 = 0 + -0.2 -1.6x2 + x4 = 0 + -0.2 Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2 -1.6x2 + x4 = -0.2 The x term is -1.6x2. 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. -1.6x2 + 0.64 + x4 = -0.2 + 0.64 Reorder the terms: 0.64 + -1.6x2 + x4 = -0.2 + 0.64 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.64 = 0.44 0.64 + -1.6x2 + x4 = 0.44 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x2 + -0.8)(x2 + -0.8) = 0.44 Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.663324958 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x2 + -0.8) equal to 0.663324958 and -0.663324958.
