Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-80 + 9x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -80 + 9x + x2 = 0 Solving -80 + 9x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '80' to each side of the equation. -80 + 9x + 80 + x2 = 0 + 80 Reorder the terms: -80 + 80 + 9x + x2 = 0 + 80 Combine like terms: -80 + 80 = 0 0 + 9x + x2 = 0 + 80 9x + x2 = 0 + 80 Combine like terms: 0 + 80 = 80 9x + x2 = 80 The x term is 9x. 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. 9x + 20.25 + x2 = 80 + 20.25 Reorder the terms: 20.25 + 9x + x2 = 80 + 20.25 Combine like terms: 80 + 20.25 = 100.25 20.25 + 9x + x2 = 100.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 4.5)(x + 4.5) = 100.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 10.012492197 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 4.5) equal to 10.012492197 and -10.012492197.
