Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(3 + -9p + p2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 3 + -9p + p2 = 0 Solving 3 + -9p + p2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -9p + -3 + p2 = 0 + -3 Reorder the terms: 3 + -3 + -9p + p2 = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -9p + p2 = 0 + -3 -9p + p2 = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3 -9p + p2 = -3 The p term is -9p. 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. -9p + 20.25 + p2 = -3 + 20.25 Reorder the terms: 20.25 + -9p + p2 = -3 + 20.25 Combine like terms: -3 + 20.25 = 17.25 20.25 + -9p + p2 = 17.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (p + -4.5)(p + -4.5) = 17.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.153311931 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (p + -4.5) equal to 4.153311931 and -4.153311931.

Subproblem 1

p + -4.5 = 4.153311931 Simplifying p + -4.5 = 4.153311931 Reorder the terms: -4.5 + p = 4.153311931 Solving -4.5 + p = 4.153311931 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '4.5' to each side of the equation. -4.5 + 4.5 + p = 4.153311931 + 4.5 Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0 0.0 + p = 4.153311931 + 4.5 p = 4.153311931 + 4.5 Combine like terms: 4.153311931 + 4.5 = 8.653311931 p = 8.653311931 Simplifying p = 8.653311931

Subproblem 2

p + -4.5 = -4.153311931 Simplifying p + -4.5 = -4.153311931 Reorder the terms: -4.5 + p = -4.153311931 Solving -4.5 + p = -4.153311931 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '4.5' to each side of the equation. -4.5 + 4.5 + p = -4.153311931 + 4.5 Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0 0.0 + p = -4.153311931 + 4.5 p = -4.153311931 + 4.5 Combine like terms: -4.153311931 + 4.5 = 0.346688069 p = 0.346688069 Simplifying p = 0.346688069
