Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-7 + -2s + s2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -7 + -2s + s2 = 0 Solving -7 + -2s + s2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + -2s + 7 + s2 = 0 + 7 Reorder the terms: -7 + 7 + -2s + s2 = 0 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + -2s + s2 = 0 + 7 -2s + s2 = 0 + 7 Combine like terms: 0 + 7 = 7 -2s + s2 = 7 The s term is -2s. Take half its coefficient (-1). Square it (1) and add it to both sides. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -2s + 1 + s2 = 7 + 1 Reorder the terms: 1 + -2s + s2 = 7 + 1 Combine like terms: 7 + 1 = 8 1 + -2s + s2 = 8 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (s + -1)(s + -1) = 8 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.828427125 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (s + -1) equal to 2.828427125 and -2.828427125.

Subproblem 1

s + -1 = 2.828427125 Simplifying s + -1 = 2.828427125 Reorder the terms: -1 + s = 2.828427125 Solving -1 + s = 2.828427125 Solving for variable 's'. Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + s = 2.828427125 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + s = 2.828427125 + 1 s = 2.828427125 + 1 Combine like terms: 2.828427125 + 1 = 3.828427125 s = 3.828427125 Simplifying s = 3.828427125

Subproblem 2

s + -1 = -2.828427125 Simplifying s + -1 = -2.828427125 Reorder the terms: -1 + s = -2.828427125 Solving -1 + s = -2.828427125 Solving for variable 's'. Move all terms containing s to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + s = -2.828427125 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + s = -2.828427125 + 1 s = -2.828427125 + 1 Combine like terms: -2.828427125 + 1 = -1.828427125 s = -1.828427125 Simplifying s = -1.828427125

Solution
