Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-20 + 13p + 2p2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -20 + 13p + 2p2 = 0 Solving -20 + 13p + 2p2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. -10 + 6.5p + p2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '10' to each side of the equation. -10 + 6.5p + 10 + p2 = 0 + 10 Reorder the terms: -10 + 10 + 6.5p + p2 = 0 + 10 Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0 0 + 6.5p + p2 = 0 + 10 6.5p + p2 = 0 + 10 Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10 6.5p + p2 = 10 The p term is 6.5p. Take half its coefficient (3.25). Square it (10.5625) and add it to both sides. Add '10.5625' to each side of the equation. 6.5p + 10.5625 + p2 = 10 + 10.5625 Reorder the terms: 10.5625 + 6.5p + p2 = 10 + 10.5625 Combine like terms: 10 + 10.5625 = 20.5625 10.5625 + 6.5p + p2 = 20.5625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (p + 3.25)(p + 3.25) = 20.5625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.534589287 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (p + 3.25) equal to 4.534589287 and -4.534589287.
