Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-2 + -1x4)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + -1x4 = 0 Solving -2 + -1x4 = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + -1x4 = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + -1x4 = 0 + 2 -1x4 = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 -1x4 = 2 Divide each side by '-1'. x4 = -2 Simplifying x4 = -2 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(2 + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + x2 = 0 Solving 2 + x2 = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + x2 = 0 + -2 x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 x2 = -2 Simplifying x2 = -2 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 3

Set the factor '(2 + -1x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + -1x2 = 0 Solving 2 + -1x2 = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + -1x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -1x2 = 0 + -2 -1x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -1x2 = -2 Divide each side by '-1'. x2 = 2 Simplifying x2 = 2 Take the square root of each side: x = {-1.414213562, 1.414213562}

Solution

x = {-1.414213562, 1.414213562}
