Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-13 + -4x + 8x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -13 + -4x + 8x2 = 0 Solving -13 + -4x + 8x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 8 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '8'. -1.625 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '1.625' to each side of the equation. -1.625 + -0.5x + 1.625 + x2 = 0 + 1.625 Reorder the terms: -1.625 + 1.625 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.625 Combine like terms: -1.625 + 1.625 = 0.000 0.000 + -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.625 -0.5x + x2 = 0 + 1.625 Combine like terms: 0 + 1.625 = 1.625 -0.5x + x2 = 1.625 The x term is -0.5x. Take half its coefficient (-0.25). Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation. -0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 1.625 + 0.0625 Reorder the terms: 0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 1.625 + 0.0625 Combine like terms: 1.625 + 0.0625 = 1.6875 0.0625 + -0.5x + x2 = 1.6875 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.25)(x + -0.25) = 1.6875 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.299038106 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.25) equal to 1.299038106 and -1.299038106.
