Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-2 + 9x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + 9x + x2 = 0 Solving -2 + 9x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 9x + 2 + x2 = 0 + 2 Reorder the terms: -2 + 2 + 9x + x2 = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + 9x + x2 = 0 + 2 9x + x2 = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 9x + x2 = 2 The x term is 9x. Take half its coefficient (4.5). Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides. Add '20.25' to each side of the equation. 9x + 20.25 + x2 = 2 + 20.25 Reorder the terms: 20.25 + 9x + x2 = 2 + 20.25 Combine like terms: 2 + 20.25 = 22.25 20.25 + 9x + x2 = 22.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 4.5)(x + 4.5) = 22.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.716990566 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 4.5) equal to 4.716990566 and -4.716990566.
