Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-1 + 5x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + 5x + 2x2 = 0 Solving -1 + 5x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. -0.5 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 2.5x + 0.5 + x2 = 0 + 0.5 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + 0.5 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.5 2.5x + x2 = 0 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5 2.5x + x2 = 0.5 The x term is 2.5x. Take half its coefficient (1.25). Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides. Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation. 2.5x + 1.5625 + x2 = 0.5 + 1.5625 Reorder the terms: 1.5625 + 2.5x + x2 = 0.5 + 1.5625 Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1.5625 = 2.0625 1.5625 + 2.5x + x2 = 2.0625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 1.25)(x + 1.25) = 2.0625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.436140662 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 1.25) equal to 1.436140662 and -1.436140662.

Subproblem 1
