Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-17 + -2x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -17 + -2x + x2 = 0 Solving -17 + -2x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '17' to each side of the equation. -17 + -2x + 17 + x2 = 0 + 17 Reorder the terms: -17 + 17 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 17 Combine like terms: -17 + 17 = 0 0 + -2x + x2 = 0 + 17 -2x + x2 = 0 + 17 Combine like terms: 0 + 17 = 17 -2x + x2 = 17 The x term is -2x. Take half its coefficient (-1). Square it (1) and add it to both sides. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -2x + 1 + x2 = 17 + 1 Reorder the terms: 1 + -2x + x2 = 17 + 1 Combine like terms: 17 + 1 = 18 1 + -2x + x2 = 18 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -1)(x + -1) = 18 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.242640687 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -1) equal to 4.242640687 and -4.242640687.
