Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'a' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying a = 0 Solving a = 0 Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying a = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(-4 + -2a + a2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -4 + -2a + a2 = 0 Solving -4 + -2a + a2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + -2a + 4 + a2 = 0 + 4 Reorder the terms: -4 + 4 + -2a + a2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + -2a + a2 = 0 + 4 -2a + a2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4 -2a + a2 = 4 The a term is -2a. Take half its coefficient (-1). Square it (1) and add it to both sides. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -2a + 1 + a2 = 4 + 1 Reorder the terms: 1 + -2a + a2 = 4 + 1 Combine like terms: 4 + 1 = 5 1 + -2a + a2 = 5 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (a + -1)(a + -1) = 5 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.236067978 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (a + -1) equal to 2.236067978 and -2.236067978.

Subproblem 1

a + -1 = 2.236067978 Simplifying a + -1 = 2.236067978 Reorder the terms: -1 + a = 2.236067978 Solving -1 + a = 2.236067978 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + a = 2.236067978 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + a = 2.236067978 + 1 a = 2.236067978 + 1 Combine like terms: 2.236067978 + 1 = 3.236067978 a = 3.236067978 Simplifying a = 3.236067978
