Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-70 + -17x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -70 + -17x + x2 = 0 Solving -70 + -17x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '70' to each side of the equation. -70 + -17x + 70 + x2 = 0 + 70 Reorder the terms: -70 + 70 + -17x + x2 = 0 + 70 Combine like terms: -70 + 70 = 0 0 + -17x + x2 = 0 + 70 -17x + x2 = 0 + 70 Combine like terms: 0 + 70 = 70 -17x + x2 = 70 The x term is -17x. Take half its coefficient (-8.5). Square it (72.25) and add it to both sides. Add '72.25' to each side of the equation. -17x + 72.25 + x2 = 70 + 72.25 Reorder the terms: 72.25 + -17x + x2 = 70 + 72.25 Combine like terms: 70 + 72.25 = 142.25 72.25 + -17x + x2 = 142.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -8.5)(x + -8.5) = 142.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 11.926860442 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -8.5) equal to 11.926860442 and -11.926860442.
