Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-1 + -21x + 4x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -1 + -21x + 4x2 = 0 Solving -1 + -21x + 4x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Divide all terms by 4 the coefficient of the squared term: Divide each side by '4'. -0.25 + -5.25x + x2 = 0 Move the constant term to the right: Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. -0.25 + -5.25x + 0.25 + x2 = 0 + 0.25 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + 0.25 + -5.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + -5.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.25 -5.25x + x2 = 0 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 0 + 0.25 = 0.25 -5.25x + x2 = 0.25 The x term is -5.25x. Take half its coefficient (-2.625). Square it (6.890625) and add it to both sides. Add '6.890625' to each side of the equation. -5.25x + 6.890625 + x2 = 0.25 + 6.890625 Reorder the terms: 6.890625 + -5.25x + x2 = 0.25 + 6.890625 Combine like terms: 0.25 + 6.890625 = 7.140625 6.890625 + -5.25x + x2 = 7.140625 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + -2.625)(x + -2.625) = 7.140625 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.672194791 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + -2.625) equal to 2.672194791 and -2.672194791.

Subproblem 1
