Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-3 + 7x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -3 + 7x + 2x2 = 0 Solving -3 + 7x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. -1.5 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 3.5x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + 1.5 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 3.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5 3.5x + x2 = 1.5 The x term is 3.5x. Take half its coefficient (1.75). Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides. Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation. 3.5x + 3.0625 + x2 = 1.5 + 3.0625 Reorder the terms: 3.0625 + 3.5x + x2 = 1.5 + 3.0625 Combine like terms: 1.5 + 3.0625 = 4.5625 3.0625 + 3.5x + x2 = 4.5625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 1.75)(x + 1.75) = 4.5625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.136000936 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 1.75) equal to 2.136000936 and -2.136000936.

Subproblem 1
