Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(9 + -10x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 9 + -10x + 2x2 = 0 Solving 9 + -10x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. 4.5 + -5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '-4.5' to each side of the equation. 4.5 + -5x + -4.5 + x2 = 0 + -4.5 Reorder the terms: 4.5 + -4.5 + -5x + x2 = 0 + -4.5 Combine like terms: 4.5 + -4.5 = 0.0 0.0 + -5x + x2 = 0 + -4.5 -5x + x2 = 0 + -4.5 Combine like terms: 0 + -4.5 = -4.5 -5x + x2 = -4.5 The x term is -5x. Take half its coefficient (-2.5). Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides. Add '6.25' to each side of the equation. -5x + 6.25 + x2 = -4.5 + 6.25 Reorder the terms: 6.25 + -5x + x2 = -4.5 + 6.25 Combine like terms: -4.5 + 6.25 = 1.75 6.25 + -5x + x2 = 1.75 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -2.5)(x + -2.5) = 1.75 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.322875656 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -2.5) equal to 1.322875656 and -1.322875656.
