Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-10 + 7x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -10 + 7x + x2 = 0 Solving -10 + 7x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '10' to each side of the equation. -10 + 7x + 10 + x2 = 0 + 10 Reorder the terms: -10 + 10 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 10 Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0 0 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 10 7x + x2 = 0 + 10 Combine like terms: 0 + 10 = 10 7x + x2 = 10 The x term is 7x. Take half its coefficient (3.5). Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides. Add '12.25' to each side of the equation. 7x + 12.25 + x2 = 10 + 12.25 Reorder the terms: 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 10 + 12.25 Combine like terms: 10 + 12.25 = 22.25 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 22.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 3.5)(x + 3.5) = 22.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.716990566 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 3.5) equal to 4.716990566 and -4.716990566.
