Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-10 + -5x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -10 + -5x + 2x2 = 0 Solving -10 + -5x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. -5 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '5' to each side of the equation. -5 + -2.5x + 5 + x2 = 0 + 5 Reorder the terms: -5 + 5 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 5 Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0 0 + -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 5 -2.5x + x2 = 0 + 5 Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5 -2.5x + x2 = 5 The x term is -2.5x. Take half its coefficient (-1.25). Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides. Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation. -2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = 5 + 1.5625 Reorder the terms: 1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 5 + 1.5625 Combine like terms: 5 + 1.5625 = 6.5625 1.5625 + -2.5x + x2 = 6.5625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -1.25)(x + -1.25) = 6.5625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.561737691 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -1.25) equal to 2.561737691 and -2.561737691.
