Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(1 + 3m + m2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + 3m + m2 = 0

Solving
1 + 3m + m2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + 3m + -1 + m2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + 3m + m2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 3m + m2 = 0 + -1
3m + m2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
3m + m2 = -1

The m term is 3m.  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.
3m + 2.25 + m2 = -1 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3m + m2 = -1 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -1 + 2.25 = 1.25
2.25 + 3m + m2 = 1.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 1.5)(m + 1.5) = 1.25
