Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-21 + 9n + n2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -21 + 9n + n2 = 0 Solving -21 + 9n + n2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '21' to each side of the equation. -21 + 9n + 21 + n2 = 0 + 21 Reorder the terms: -21 + 21 + 9n + n2 = 0 + 21 Combine like terms: -21 + 21 = 0 0 + 9n + n2 = 0 + 21 9n + n2 = 0 + 21 Combine like terms: 0 + 21 = 21 9n + n2 = 21 The n term is 9n. 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. 9n + 20.25 + n2 = 21 + 20.25 Reorder the terms: 20.25 + 9n + n2 = 21 + 20.25 Combine like terms: 21 + 20.25 = 41.25 20.25 + 9n + n2 = 41.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (n + 4.5)(n + 4.5) = 41.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.422616289 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (n + 4.5) equal to 6.422616289 and -6.422616289.

Subproblem 1
