Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-4 + m + m2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-4 + m + m2 = 0

Solving
-4 + m + m2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + m + 4 + m2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + m + m2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + m + m2 = 0 + 4
m + m2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
m + m2 = 4

The m term is m.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
m + 0.25 + m2 = 4 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + m + m2 = 4 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 4 + 0.25 = 4.25
0.25 + m + m2 = 4.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 0.5)(m + 0.5) = 4.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.061552813
