Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'k' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying k = 0 Solving k = 0 Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying k = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(20 + k + k2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 20 + k + k2 = 0 Solving 20 + k + k2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '-20' to each side of the equation. 20 + k + -20 + k2 = 0 + -20 Reorder the terms: 20 + -20 + k + k2 = 0 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 0 + k + k2 = 0 + -20 k + k2 = 0 + -20 Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20 k + k2 = -20 The k term is k. 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. k + 0.25 + k2 = -20 + 0.25 Reorder the terms: 0.25 + k + k2 = -20 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -20 + 0.25 = -19.75 0.25 + k + k2 = -19.75 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (k + 0.5)(k + 0.5) = -19.75 Can't calculate square root of the right side. The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
