Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-1 + -4x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + -4x + x2 = 0 Solving -1 + -4x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + -4x + 1 + x2 = 0 + 1 Reorder the terms: -1 + 1 + -4x + x2 = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + -4x + x2 = 0 + 1 -4x + x2 = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1 -4x + x2 = 1 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 = 1 + 4 Reorder the terms: 4 + -4x + x2 = 1 + 4 Combine like terms: 1 + 4 = 5 4 + -4x + x2 = 5 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -2)(x + -2) = 5 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.236067978 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -2) equal to 2.236067978 and -2.236067978.

Subproblem 1

x + -2 = 2.236067978 Simplifying x + -2 = 2.236067978 Reorder the terms: -2 + x = 2.236067978 Solving -2 + x = 2.236067978 Solving for variable 'x'.
