Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-1 + -1x2 + x4)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + -1x2 + x4 = 0 Solving -1 + -1x2 + x4 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + -1x2 + 1 + x4 = 0 + 1 Reorder the terms: -1 + 1 + -1x2 + x4 = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + -1x2 + x4 = 0 + 1 -1x2 + x4 = 0 + 1 Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1 -1x2 + x4 = 1 The x term is -1x2. 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. -1x2 + 0.25 + x4 = 1 + 0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + -1x2 + x4 = 1 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 1 + 0.25 = 1.25 0.25 + -1x2 + x4 = 1.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x2 + -0.5)(x2 + -0.5) = 1.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.118033989 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x2 + -0.5) equal to 1.118033989 and -1.118033989.
