Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-10 + x2 + x4)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -10 + x2 + x4 = 0 Solving -10 + x2 + x4 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '10' to each side of the equation. -10 + x2 + 10 + x4 = 0 + 10 Reorder the terms: -10 + 10 + x2 + x4 = 0 + 10 Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0 0 + x2 + x4 = 0 + 10 x2 + x4 = 0 + 10 Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10 x2 + x4 = 10 The x term is x2. Take half its coefficient (0.5). Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. x2 + 0.25 + x4 = 10 + 0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + x2 + x4 = 10 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 10 + 0.25 = 10.25 0.25 + x2 + x4 = 10.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x2 + 0.5)(x2 + 0.5) = 10.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.201562119 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x2 + 0.5) equal to 3.201562119 and -3.201562119.
