Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(9 + -7a + a2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 9 + -7a + a2 = 0 Solving 9 + -7a + a2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-9' to each side of the equation. 9 + -7a + -9 + a2 = 0 + -9 Reorder the terms: 9 + -9 + -7a + a2 = 0 + -9 Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0 0 + -7a + a2 = 0 + -9 -7a + a2 = 0 + -9 Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9 -7a + a2 = -9 The a term is -7a. Take half its coefficient (-3.5). Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides. Add '12.25' to each side of the equation. -7a + 12.25 + a2 = -9 + 12.25 Reorder the terms: 12.25 + -7a + a2 = -9 + 12.25 Combine like terms: -9 + 12.25 = 3.25 12.25 + -7a + a2 = 3.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (a + -3.5)(a + -3.5) = 3.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.802775638 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (a + -3.5) equal to 1.802775638 and -1.802775638.
