Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-3 + 7x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -3 + 7x + x2 = 0 Solving -3 + 7x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '3' to each side of the equation. -3 + 7x + 3 + x2 = 0 + 3 Reorder the terms: -3 + 3 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 3 Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0 0 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 3 7x + x2 = 0 + 3 Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3 7x + x2 = 3 The x term is 7x. Take half its coefficient (3.5). Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides. Add '12.25' to each side of the equation. 7x + 12.25 + x2 = 3 + 12.25 Reorder the terms: 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 3 + 12.25 Combine like terms: 3 + 12.25 = 15.25 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 15.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 3.5)(x + 3.5) = 15.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.905124838 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 3.5) equal to 3.905124838 and -3.905124838.
