Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-70 + 17x + 2x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -70 + 17x + 2x2 = 0 Solving -70 + 17x + 2x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 2 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '2'. -35 + 8.5x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '35' to each side of the equation. -35 + 8.5x + 35 + x2 = 0 + 35 Reorder the terms: -35 + 35 + 8.5x + x2 = 0 + 35 Combine like terms: -35 + 35 = 0 0 + 8.5x + x2 = 0 + 35 8.5x + x2 = 0 + 35 Combine like terms: 0 + 35 = 35 8.5x + x2 = 35 The x term is 8.5x. Take half its coefficient (4.25). Square it (18.0625) and add it to both sides. Add '18.0625' to each side of the equation. 8.5x + 18.0625 + x2 = 35 + 18.0625 Reorder the terms: 18.0625 + 8.5x + x2 = 35 + 18.0625 Combine like terms: 35 + 18.0625 = 53.0625 18.0625 + 8.5x + x2 = 53.0625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 4.25)(x + 4.25) = 53.0625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 7.284401142 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 4.25) equal to 7.284401142 and -7.284401142.
