Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-4 + -15x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -4 + -15x + x2 = 0 Solving -4 + -15x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + -15x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4 Reorder the terms: -4 + 4 + -15x + x2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + -15x + x2 = 0 + 4 -15x + x2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4 -15x + x2 = 4 The x term is -15x. Take half its coefficient (-7.5). Square it (56.25) and add it to both sides. Add '56.25' to each side of the equation. -15x + 56.25 + x2 = 4 + 56.25 Reorder the terms: 56.25 + -15x + x2 = 4 + 56.25 Combine like terms: 4 + 56.25 = 60.25 56.25 + -15x + x2 = 60.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -7.5)(x + -7.5) = 60.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 7.762087348 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -7.5) equal to 7.762087348 and -7.762087348.

Subproblem 1
