Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-30 + 4x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -30 + 4x + x2 = 0 Solving -30 + 4x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '30' to each side of the equation. -30 + 4x + 30 + x2 = 0 + 30 Reorder the terms: -30 + 30 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 30 Combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0 0 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 30 4x + x2 = 0 + 30 Combine like terms: 0 + 30 = 30 4x + x2 = 30 The x term is 4x. Take half its coefficient (2). Square it (4) and add it to both sides. Add '4' to each side of the equation. 4x + 4 + x2 = 30 + 4 Reorder the terms: 4 + 4x + x2 = 30 + 4 Combine like terms: 30 + 4 = 34 4 + 4x + x2 = 34 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 2)(x + 2) = 34 Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.830951895 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 2) equal to 5.830951895 and -5.830951895.
