Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-12 + -1x + 5x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -12 + -1x + 5x2 = 0 Solving -12 + -1x + 5x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 5 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '5'. -2.4 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '2.4' to each side of the equation. -2.4 + -0.2x + 2.4 + x2 = 0 + 2.4 Reorder the terms: -2.4 + 2.4 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 2.4 Combine like terms: -2.4 + 2.4 = 0.0 0.0 + -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 2.4 -0.2x + x2 = 0 + 2.4 Combine like terms: 0 + 2.4 = 2.4 -0.2x + x2 = 2.4 The x term is -0.2x. Take half its coefficient (-0.1). Square it (0.01) and add it to both sides. Add '0.01' to each side of the equation. -0.2x + 0.01 + x2 = 2.4 + 0.01 Reorder the terms: 0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 2.4 + 0.01 Combine like terms: 2.4 + 0.01 = 2.41 0.01 + -0.2x + x2 = 2.41 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.1)(x + -0.1) = 2.41 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.55241747 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.1) equal to 1.55241747 and -1.55241747.
