Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-1 + -4t + t2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + -4t + t2 = 0 Solving -1 + -4t + t2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + -4t + 1 + t2 = 0 + 1 Reorder the terms: -1 + 1 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + -4t + t2 = 0 + 1 -4t + t2 = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1 -4t + t2 = 1 The t term is -4t. Take half its coefficient (-2). Square it (4) and add it to both sides. Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4t + 4 + t2 = 1 + 4 Reorder the terms: 4 + -4t + t2 = 1 + 4 Combine like terms: 1 + 4 = 5 4 + -4t + t2 = 5 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (t + -2)(t + -2) = 5 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.236067978 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (t + -2) equal to 2.236067978 and -2.236067978.

Subproblem 1

t + -2 = 2.236067978 Simplifying t + -2 = 2.236067978 Reorder the terms: -2 + t = 2.236067978 Solving -2 + t = 2.236067978 Solving for variable 't'.
