Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-72 + 9c + c2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -72 + 9c + c2 = 0 Solving -72 + 9c + c2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '72' to each side of the equation. -72 + 9c + 72 + c2 = 0 + 72 Reorder the terms: -72 + 72 + 9c + c2 = 0 + 72 Combine like terms: -72 + 72 = 0 0 + 9c + c2 = 0 + 72 9c + c2 = 0 + 72 Combine like terms: 0 + 72 = 72 9c + c2 = 72 The c term is 9c. Take half its coefficient (4.5). Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides. Add '20.25' to each side of the equation. 9c + 20.25 + c2 = 72 + 20.25 Reorder the terms: 20.25 + 9c + c2 = 72 + 20.25 Combine like terms: 72 + 20.25 = 92.25 20.25 + 9c + c2 = 92.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (c + 4.5)(c + 4.5) = 92.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 9.604686356 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (c + 4.5) equal to 9.604686356 and -9.604686356.
