Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(5 + 19a + 4a2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 5 + 19a + 4a2 = 0 Solving 5 + 19a + 4a2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 4 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '4'. 1.25 + 4.75a + a2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation. 1.25 + 4.75a + -1.25 + a2 = 0 + -1.25 Reorder the terms: 1.25 + -1.25 + 4.75a + a2 = 0 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + 4.75a + a2 = 0 + -1.25 4.75a + a2 = 0 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 0 + -1.25 = -1.25 4.75a + a2 = -1.25 The a term is 4.75a. Take half its coefficient (2.375). Square it (5.640625) and add it to both sides. Add '5.640625' to each side of the equation. 4.75a + 5.640625 + a2 = -1.25 + 5.640625 Reorder the terms: 5.640625 + 4.75a + a2 = -1.25 + 5.640625 Combine like terms: -1.25 + 5.640625 = 4.390625 5.640625 + 4.75a + a2 = 4.390625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (a + 2.375)(a + 2.375) = 4.390625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.095381827 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (a + 2.375) equal to 2.095381827 and -2.095381827.

Subproblem 1

a + 2.375 = 2.095381827 Simplifying a + 2.375 = 2.095381827 Reorder the terms: 2.375 + a = 2.095381827 Solving 2.375 + a = 2.095381827 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.375' to each side of the equation. 2.375 + -2.375 + a = 2.095381827 + -2.375 Combine like terms: 2.375 + -2.375 = 0.000 0.000 + a = 2.095381827 + -2.375 a = 2.095381827 + -2.375 Combine like terms: 2.095381827 + -2.375 = -0.279618173 a = -0.279618173 Simplifying a = -0.279618173

Subproblem 2

a + 2.375 = -2.095381827 Simplifying a + 2.375 = -2.095381827 Reorder the terms: 2.375 + a = -2.095381827 Solving 2.375 + a = -2.095381827 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.375' to each side of the equation. 2.375 + -2.375 + a = -2.095381827 + -2.375 Combine like terms: 2.375 + -2.375 = 0.000 0.000 + a = -2.095381827 + -2.375 a = -2.095381827 + -2.375 Combine like terms: -2.095381827 + -2.375 = -4.470381827 a = -4.470381827 Simplifying a = -4.470381827
