Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-3 + 2a + 4a2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -3 + 2a + 4a2 = 0 Solving -3 + 2a + 4a2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 4 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '4'. -0.75 + 0.5a + a2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + 0.5a + 0.75 + a2 = 0 + 0.75 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + 0.75 + 0.5a + a2 = 0 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + 0.5a + a2 = 0 + 0.75 0.5a + a2 = 0 + 0.75 Combine like terms: 0 + 0.75 = 0.75 0.5a + a2 = 0.75 The a term is 0.5a. Take half its coefficient (0.25). Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation. 0.5a + 0.0625 + a2 = 0.75 + 0.0625 Reorder the terms: 0.0625 + 0.5a + a2 = 0.75 + 0.0625 Combine like terms: 0.75 + 0.0625 = 0.8125 0.0625 + 0.5a + a2 = 0.8125 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (a + 0.25)(a + 0.25) = 0.8125 Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.901387819 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (a + 0.25) equal to 0.901387819 and -0.901387819.

Subproblem 1

a + 0.25 = 0.901387819 Simplifying a + 0.25 = 0.901387819 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + a = 0.901387819 Solving 0.25 + a = 0.901387819 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.25' to each side of the equation. 0.25 + -0.25 + a = 0.901387819 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + a = 0.901387819 + -0.25 a = 0.901387819 + -0.25 Combine like terms: 0.901387819 + -0.25 = 0.651387819 a = 0.651387819 Simplifying a = 0.651387819

Subproblem 2
