Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(25 + -20x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 25 + -20x + 2x2 = 0 Solving 25 + -20x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. 12.5 + -10x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '-12.5' to each side of the equation. 12.5 + -10x + -12.5 + x2 = 0 + -12.5 Reorder the terms: 12.5 + -12.5 + -10x + x2 = 0 + -12.5 Combine like terms: 12.5 + -12.5 = 0.0 0.0 + -10x + x2 = 0 + -12.5 -10x + x2 = 0 + -12.5 Combine like terms: 0 + -12.5 = -12.5 -10x + x2 = -12.5 The x term is -10x. Take half its coefficient (-5). Square it (25) and add it to both sides. Add '25' to each side of the equation. -10x + 25 + x2 = -12.5 + 25 Reorder the terms: 25 + -10x + x2 = -12.5 + 25 Combine like terms: -12.5 + 25 = 12.5 25 + -10x + x2 = 12.5 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -5)(x + -5) = 12.5 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.535533906 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -5) equal to 3.535533906 and -3.535533906.
