Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(1 + 7x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + 7x + x2 = 0 Solving 1 + 7x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + 7x + -1 + x2 = 0 + -1 Reorder the terms: 1 + -1 + 7x + x2 = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + 7x + x2 = 0 + -1 7x + x2 = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 7x + x2 = -1 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 = -1 + 12.25 Reorder the terms: 12.25 + 7x + x2 = -1 + 12.25 Combine like terms: -1 + 12.25 = 11.25 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 11.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 3.5)(x + 3.5) = 11.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.354101966 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 3.5) equal to 3.354101966 and -3.354101966.

Subproblem 1
