Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(5 + -20x + 8x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 5 + -20x + 8x2 = 0 Solving 5 + -20x + 8x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 8 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '8'. 0.625 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '-0.625' to each side of the equation. 0.625 + -2.5x + -0.625 + x2 = 0 + -0.625 Reorder the terms: 0.625 + -0.625 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.625 Combine like terms: 0.625 + -0.625 = 0.000 0.000 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.625 -2.5x + x2 = 0 + -0.625 Combine like terms: 0 + -0.625 = -0.625 -2.5x + x2 = -0.625 The x term is -2.5x. Take half its coefficient (-1.25). Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides. Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation. -2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = -0.625 + 1.5625 Reorder the terms: 1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = -0.625 + 1.5625 Combine like terms: -0.625 + 1.5625 = 0.9375 1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 0.9375 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -1.25)(x + -1.25) = 0.9375 Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.968245837 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -1.25) equal to 0.968245837 and -0.968245837.
