Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-39 + 3x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -39 + 3x + x2 = 0 Solving -39 + 3x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '39' to each side of the equation. -39 + 3x + 39 + x2 = 0 + 39 Reorder the terms: -39 + 39 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 39 Combine like terms: -39 + 39 = 0 0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 39 3x + x2 = 0 + 39 Combine like terms: 0 + 39 = 39 3x + x2 = 39 The x term is 3x. 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. 3x + 2.25 + x2 = 39 + 2.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + 3x + x2 = 39 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 39 + 2.25 = 41.25 2.25 + 3x + x2 = 41.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 41.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.422616289 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 1.5) equal to 6.422616289 and -6.422616289.
