Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-10 + -4x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -10 + -4x + x2 = 0 Solving -10 + -4x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '10' to each side of the equation. -10 + -4x + 10 + x2 = 0 + 10 Reorder the terms: -10 + 10 + -4x + x2 = 0 + 10 Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0 0 + -4x + x2 = 0 + 10 -4x + x2 = 0 + 10 Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10 -4x + x2 = 10 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 = 10 + 4 Reorder the terms: 4 + -4x + x2 = 10 + 4 Combine like terms: 10 + 4 = 14 4 + -4x + x2 = 14 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -2)(x + -2) = 14 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.741657387 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -2) equal to 3.741657387 and -3.741657387.
