Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(20 + -10x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 20 + -10x + x2 = 0 Solving 20 + -10x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-20' to each side of the equation. 20 + -10x + -20 + x2 = 0 + -20 Reorder the terms: 20 + -20 + -10x + x2 = 0 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 0 + -10x + x2 = 0 + -20 -10x + x2 = 0 + -20 Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20 -10x + x2 = -20 The x term is -10x. Take half its coefficient (-5). Square it (25) and add it to both sides. Add '25' to each side of the equation. -10x + 25 + x2 = -20 + 25 Reorder the terms: 25 + -10x + x2 = -20 + 25 Combine like terms: -20 + 25 = 5 25 + -10x + x2 = 5 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -5)(x + -5) = 5 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.236067978 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -5) equal to 2.236067978 and -2.236067978.
