Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-2 + 3a + a2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + 3a + a2 = 0 Solving -2 + 3a + a2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 3a + 2 + a2 = 0 + 2 Reorder the terms: -2 + 2 + 3a + a2 = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + 3a + a2 = 0 + 2 3a + a2 = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 3a + a2 = 2 The a term is 3a. Take half its coefficient (1.5). Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides. Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. 3a + 2.25 + a2 = 2 + 2.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + 3a + a2 = 2 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 2 + 2.25 = 4.25 2.25 + 3a + a2 = 4.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (a + 1.5)(a + 1.5) = 4.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.061552813 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (a + 1.5) equal to 2.061552813 and -2.061552813.
