Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-36 + -3x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -36 + -3x + 2x2 = 0 Solving -36 + -3x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. -18 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '18' to each side of the equation. -18 + -1.5x + 18 + x2 = 0 + 18 Reorder the terms: -18 + 18 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 18 Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0 0 + -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 18 -1.5x + x2 = 0 + 18 Combine like terms: 0 + 18 = 18 -1.5x + x2 = 18 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 = 18 + 0.5625 Reorder the terms: 0.5625 + -1.5x + x2 = 18 + 0.5625 Combine like terms: 18 + 0.5625 = 18.5625 0.5625 + -1.5x + x2 = 18.5625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.75)(x + -0.75) = 18.5625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.308421985 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.75) equal to 4.308421985 and -4.308421985.
