Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-4 + 4x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -4 + 4x + x2 = 0 Solving -4 + 4x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '4' to each side of the equation. -4 + 4x + 4 + x2 = 0 + 4 Reorder the terms: -4 + 4 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0 0 + 4x + x2 = 0 + 4 4x + x2 = 0 + 4 Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4 4x + x2 = 4 The x term is 4x. Take half its coefficient (2). Square it (4) and add it to both sides. Add '4' to each side of the equation. 4x + 4 + x2 = 4 + 4 Reorder the terms: 4 + 4x + x2 = 4 + 4 Combine like terms: 4 + 4 = 8 4 + 4x + x2 = 8 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 2)(x + 2) = 8 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.828427125 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 2) equal to 2.828427125 and -2.828427125.

Subproblem 1

x + 2 = 2.828427125 Simplifying x + 2 = 2.828427125 Reorder the terms: 2 + x = 2.828427125 Solving 2 + x = 2.828427125 Solving for variable 'x'.
