Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-22 + -1x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -22 + -1x + x2 = 0 Solving -22 + -1x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '22' to each side of the equation. -22 + -1x + 22 + x2 = 0 + 22 Reorder the terms: -22 + 22 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 22 Combine like terms: -22 + 22 = 0 0 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 22 -1x + x2 = 0 + 22 Combine like terms: 0 + 22 = 22 -1x + x2 = 22 The x term is -1x. 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. -1x + 0.25 + x2 = 22 + 0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + -1x + x2 = 22 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 22 + 0.25 = 22.25 0.25 + -1x + x2 = 22.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 22.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.716990566 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.5) equal to 4.716990566 and -4.716990566.
