Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(9 + -1x + -2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 9 + -1x + -2x2 = 0 Solving 9 + -1x + -2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-2'. -4.5 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '4.5' to each side of the equation. -4.5 + 0.5x + 4.5 + x2 = 0 + 4.5 Reorder the terms: -4.5 + 4.5 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4.5 Combine like terms: -4.5 + 4.5 = 0.0 0.0 + 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4.5 0.5x + x2 = 0 + 4.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 4.5 = 4.5 0.5x + x2 = 4.5 The x term is 0.5x. Take half its coefficient (0.25). Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation. 0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 4.5 + 0.0625 Reorder the terms: 0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 4.5 + 0.0625 Combine like terms: 4.5 + 0.0625 = 4.5625 0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 4.5625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 4.5625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.136000936 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 0.25) equal to 2.136000936 and -2.136000936.

Subproblem 1
