Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-13 + -4x + 4x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -13 + -4x + 4x2 = 0 Solving -13 + -4x + 4x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 4 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '4'. -3.25 + -1x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '3.25' to each side of the equation. -3.25 + -1x + 3.25 + x2 = 0 + 3.25 Reorder the terms: -3.25 + 3.25 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 3.25 Combine like terms: -3.25 + 3.25 = 0.00 0.00 + -1x + x2 = 0 + 3.25 -1x + x2 = 0 + 3.25 Combine like terms: 0 + 3.25 = 3.25 -1x + x2 = 3.25 The x term is -1x. Take half its coefficient (-0.5). Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. -1x + 0.25 + x2 = 3.25 + 0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + -1x + x2 = 3.25 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 3.25 + 0.25 = 3.5 0.25 + -1x + x2 = 3.5 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -0.5)(x + -0.5) = 3.5 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.870828693 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -0.5) equal to 1.870828693 and -1.870828693.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.5 = 1.870828693 Simplifying x + -0.5 = 1.870828693 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = 1.870828693 Solving -0.5 + x = 1.870828693 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + x = 1.870828693 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.870828693 + 0.5 x = 1.870828693 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 1.870828693 + 0.5 = 2.370828693 x = 2.370828693 Simplifying x = 2.370828693

Subproblem 2

x + -0.5 = -1.870828693 Simplifying x + -0.5 = -1.870828693 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + x = -1.870828693 Solving -0.5 + x = -1.870828693 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + x = -1.870828693 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.870828693 + 0.5 x = -1.870828693 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -1.870828693 + 0.5 = -1.370828693 x = -1.370828693 Simplifying x = -1.370828693
