Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(8 + 3x + -1x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 8 + 3x + -1x2 = 0 Solving 8 + 3x + -1x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -1 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-1'. -8 + -3x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '8' to each side of the equation. -8 + -3x + 8 + x2 = 0 + 8 Reorder the terms: -8 + 8 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 8 Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0 0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 8 -3x + x2 = 0 + 8 Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8 -3x + x2 = 8 The x term is -3x. Take half its coefficient (-1.5). Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides. Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. -3x + 2.25 + x2 = 8 + 2.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + -3x + x2 = 8 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 8 + 2.25 = 10.25 2.25 + -3x + x2 = 10.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = 10.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.201562119 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -1.5) equal to 3.201562119 and -3.201562119.
