Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-8 + 3u + u2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -8 + 3u + u2 = 0 Solving -8 + 3u + u2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '8' to each side of the equation. -8 + 3u + 8 + u2 = 0 + 8 Reorder the terms: -8 + 8 + 3u + u2 = 0 + 8 Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0 0 + 3u + u2 = 0 + 8 3u + u2 = 0 + 8 Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8 3u + u2 = 8 The u term is 3u. 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. 3u + 2.25 + u2 = 8 + 2.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + 3u + u2 = 8 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 8 + 2.25 = 10.25 2.25 + 3u + u2 = 10.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (u + 1.5)(u + 1.5) = 10.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.201562119 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (u + 1.5) equal to 3.201562119 and -3.201562119.

Subproblem 1

u + 1.5 = 3.201562119 Simplifying u + 1.5 = 3.201562119 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + u = 3.201562119 Solving 1.5 + u = 3.201562119 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + u = 3.201562119 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = 3.201562119 + -1.5 u = 3.201562119 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 3.201562119 + -1.5 = 1.701562119 u = 1.701562119 Simplifying u = 1.701562119

Subproblem 2

u + 1.5 = -3.201562119 Simplifying u + 1.5 = -3.201562119 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + u = -3.201562119 Solving 1.5 + u = -3.201562119 Solving for variable 'u'. Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + u = -3.201562119 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + u = -3.201562119 + -1.5 u = -3.201562119 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -3.201562119 + -1.5 = -4.701562119 u = -4.701562119 Simplifying u = -4.701562119
