Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-36 + -3x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -36 + -3x + x2 = 0 Solving -36 + -3x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '36' to each side of the equation. -36 + -3x + 36 + x2 = 0 + 36 Reorder the terms: -36 + 36 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 36 Combine like terms: -36 + 36 = 0 0 + -3x + x2 = 0 + 36 -3x + x2 = 0 + 36 Combine like terms: 0 + 36 = 36 -3x + x2 = 36 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 = 36 + 2.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + -3x + x2 = 36 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 36 + 2.25 = 38.25 2.25 + -3x + x2 = 38.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -1.5)(x + -1.5) = 38.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 6.184658438 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -1.5) equal to 6.184658438 and -6.184658438.
