Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-6 + -3x + 4x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -6 + -3x + 4x2 = 0 Solving -6 + -3x + 4x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 4 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '4'. -1.5 + -0.75x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + -0.75x + 1.5 + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + 1.5 + -0.75x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + -0.75x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 -0.75x + x2 = 0 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5 -0.75x + x2 = 1.5 The x term is -0.75x. Take half its coefficient (-0.375). Square it (0.140625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.140625' to each side of the equation. -0.75x + 0.140625 + x2 = 1.5 + 0.140625 Reorder the terms: 0.140625 + -0.75x + x2 = 1.5 + 0.140625 Combine like terms: 1.5 + 0.140625 = 1.640625 0.140625 + -0.75x + x2 = 1.640625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.375)(x + -0.375) = 1.640625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.280868846 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.375) equal to 1.280868846 and -1.280868846.

Subproblem 1
