Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-12 + 3x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -12 + 3x + x2 = 0 Solving -12 + 3x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '12' to each side of the equation. -12 + 3x + 12 + x2 = 0 + 12 Reorder the terms: -12 + 12 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 12 Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0 0 + 3x + x2 = 0 + 12 3x + x2 = 0 + 12 Combine like terms: 0 + 12 = 12 3x + x2 = 12 The x term is 3x. Take half its coefficient (1.5). Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides. Add '2.25' to each side of the equation. 3x + 2.25 + x2 = 12 + 2.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + 3x + x2 = 12 + 2.25 Combine like terms: 12 + 2.25 = 14.25 2.25 + 3x + x2 = 14.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 1.5)(x + 1.5) = 14.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.774917218 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 1.5) equal to 3.774917218 and -3.774917218.
