Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-5 + 2q + 2q2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -5 + 2q + 2q2 = 0 Solving -5 + 2q + 2q2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. -2.5 + q + q2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '2.5' to each side of the equation. -2.5 + q + 2.5 + q2 = 0 + 2.5 Reorder the terms: -2.5 + 2.5 + q + q2 = 0 + 2.5 Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + q + q2 = 0 + 2.5 q + q2 = 0 + 2.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5 q + q2 = 2.5 The q term is q. Take half its coefficient (0.5). Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. + 0.25 + q2 = 2.5 + 0.25 Combine like terms: + 0.25 = 1.25 1.25 + q2 = 2.5 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.25 = 2.75 1.25 + q2 = 2.75 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (q + 0.5)(q + 0.5) = 2.75 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.658312395 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (q + 0.5) equal to 1.658312395 and -1.658312395.

Subproblem 1

q + 0.5 = 1.658312395 Simplifying q + 0.5 = 1.658312395 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + q = 1.658312395 Solving 0.5 + q = 1.658312395 Solving for variable 'q'. Move all terms containing q to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + q = 1.658312395 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + q = 1.658312395 + -0.5 q = 1.658312395 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.658312395 + -0.5 = 1.158312395 q = 1.158312395 Simplifying q = 1.158312395

Subproblem 2

q + 0.5 = -1.658312395 Simplifying q + 0.5 = -1.658312395 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + q = -1.658312395 Solving 0.5 + q = -1.658312395 Solving for variable 'q'. Move all terms containing q to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + q = -1.658312395 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + q = -1.658312395 + -0.5 q = -1.658312395 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.658312395 + -0.5 = -2.158312395 q = -2.158312395 Simplifying q = -2.158312395
