Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-6 + -3x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -6 + -3x + 2x2 = 0 Solving -6 + -3x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. -3 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '3' to each side of the equation. -3 + -1.5x + 3 + x2 = 0 + 3 Reorder the terms: -3 + 3 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 3 Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0 0 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 3 -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 3 Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3 -1.5x + x2 = 3 The x term is -1.5x. Take half its coefficient (-0.75). Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation. -1.5x + 0.5625 + x2 = 3 + 0.5625 Reorder the terms: 0.5625 + -1.5x + x2 = 3 + 0.5625 Combine like terms: 3 + 0.5625 = 3.5625 0.5625 + -1.5x + x2 = 3.5625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.75)(x + -0.75) = 3.5625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.887458609 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.75) equal to 1.887458609 and -1.887458609.
