Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(43 + -10x + -20x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 43 + -10x + -20x2 = 0 Solving 43 + -10x + -20x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by -20 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '-20'. -2.15 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '2.15' to each side of the equation. -2.15 + 0.5x + 2.15 + x2 = 0.0 + 2.15 Reorder the terms: -2.15 + 2.15 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.0 + 2.15 Combine like terms: -2.15 + 2.15 = 0.00 0.00 + 0.5x + x2 = 0.0 + 2.15 0.5x + x2 = 0.0 + 2.15 Combine like terms: 0.0 + 2.15 = 2.15 0.5x + x2 = 2.15 The x term is 0.5x. Take half its coefficient (0.25). Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides. Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation. 0.5x + 0.0625 + x2 = 2.15 + 0.0625 Reorder the terms: 0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.15 + 0.0625 Combine like terms: 2.15 + 0.0625 = 2.2125 0.0625 + 0.5x + x2 = 2.2125 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 0.25)(x + 0.25) = 2.2125 Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.487447478 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 0.25) equal to 1.487447478 and -1.487447478.
