Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(4 + 6s2 + s4)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 4 + 6s2 + s4 = 0 Solving 4 + 6s2 + s4 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + 6s2 + -4 + s4 = 0 + -4 Reorder the terms: 4 + -4 + 6s2 + s4 = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + 6s2 + s4 = 0 + -4 6s2 + s4 = 0 + -4 Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 6s2 + s4 = -4 The s term is 6s2. Take half its coefficient (3). Square it (9) and add it to both sides. Add '9' to each side of the equation. 6s2 + 9 + s4 = -4 + 9 Reorder the terms: 9 + 6s2 + s4 = -4 + 9 Combine like terms: -4 + 9 = 5 9 + 6s2 + s4 = 5 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (s2 + 3)(s2 + 3) = 5 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.236067978 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (s2 + 3) equal to 2.236067978 and -2.236067978.
