How can you use factoring to solve quadratic equations in standard form?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots or the zeroes of a quadratic equation are its x-intercepts, which are the points on the graph where it crosses the x-axis. When a quadratic equation is in standard form, ax² + bx + c, the usual goal is to find the binomial factors that could help us determine the roots or solutions to the given equation.  Once you find the factors, then you will use the Zero-Product Property to solve for the solutions.  

For example, if you were given the following quadratic equation in standard form, x² + 6x + 8 = 0, and were tasked to find its factors.

x² + 6x + 8 = 0

where a = 1, b = 6, and c = 8:

In order to find the factors of the given quadratic equation, we must find the  factors with a product ac, and sum b.  

Using 2 and 4 as possible factors produce a product that is equal to

product of ac:   2 × 4 = 8

sum of b:           2 + 4 = 6.

Therefore, the factors of the given quadratic equation, x² + 6x + 8 = 0 are:

(x + 2) (x + 4).

Using the Zero-Product Property, where it states that for any real numbers, u and v, if uv = 0, then u = 0 or v = 0.  

Thus, setting the binomial factors of the given quadratic equation to zero will provide the solutions.

(x + 2) (x + 4)

x + 2 = 0

x + 2 - 2 = 0 - 2

x = -2

x + 4 = 0

x + 4 - 4 = 0 - 4

x = -4

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation, x² + 6x + 8 = 0 are x = -2, and x = -4.

Express in vertex form

Y=2x^2 - 2x - 5

Answers

Answer:

y = 2(x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² - [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x² - 2x - 5 ← factor out 2 from the first 2 terms

 = 2(x² - x) - 5

Using the method of completing the square

add/subtract (half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - x

y = 2(x² + 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ) x + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ) - 5

  = 2(x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² + 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ) - 5

  = 2(x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] - 5

  = 2(x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² - [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex] ← in vertex form

 

Mary has 2 1/5 hours before she needs to meet her friend. She needs to take care of 7 chores before then. How much time can she allocate to each chore?

Answers

(18.85 minutes)

Mary can allocate to each chore around 18.85 minutes.

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

It is given that Mary has 2 1/5 hours before she needs to meet her friend. She needs to take care of 7 chores before then.

Hence, we get

2 and 1/5 hours = 132 minutes (120 + 12)

thus, Mary will have 132/7 = 18.85714285714286 minutes for each chore.

Or around 18.85 minutes for each chore

Therefore, she can allocate to each chore around 18.85 minutes.

Draw an ordered stem and leaf diagram to show this information.



245, 250, 251, 253, 258, 264, 267, 269, 273, 276



Key:24|5 means 245.

Answers

Answer:  The filled out diagram is shown below

=========================================================

Explanation:

The key tells us how to set up the stem and leaf diagram. It says that [tex]24|5[/tex] represents the value 245.

This means that "24" is one of the stems. In fact, it's the smallest stem possible since there's nothing smaller than 240 on this given list of values.

The only leaf associated with this stem is 5. The stem 24 and the leaf 5 combine to form the number 245 as the key indicates.

--------------------------

In the next row is the stem 25. For this stem, we'll have the leaves of: 0, 1, 3, 8. The stem 25 and those leaves mentioned combine to form 250, 251, 253, 258 in that exact order. This time we'll use up four boxes for this row. The last box in this row is blank.

The remaining rows (stems 26 and 27) are handled in pretty much the same fashion. Let me know if you have questions how the boxes are filled in. It helps to start with sorted data from smallest to largest. Luckily, that's already been done for us.

The filled out chart is shown below. I replaced the stems 0,1,2,3 with 24,25,26,27.

Class 10R sat a test.
The mean mark for the class was 70%.

There are 30 students in class 10R, 20 of whom are boys.
The mean mark for the boys in the test was 62%.

Work out the mean mark for the girls.

Answers

Answer:

86%

Step-by-step explanation:

30 students in the class with a mean average of 70% can be expressed as:

total class percent / 30 = 70%

Rearranged, this gives that the class achieved a total of 30x70 or 2100%.

20 boys in the class with a mean average of 62% can be expressed as:

total boys percent / 20 = 62%

Rearranged, this gives that the boys achieved a total of 20x62 or 1240%.

This means that the girls achieved 2100 - 1240 so 860%.

Because there are 30 students and 20 boys, there are 10 girls.

Then work out the mean with a total of 860% and 10 girls.

860/10 = 86%.

What are the roots of the equation 4x^2+24x+45=0 in simplest a+bi form?

Answers

Answer:

X=(-1.5, 7.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4x2 + -24x + -45 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0

Solving

-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.

(-3 + -2x)(15 + -2x) = 0

 

Set the factor '(-3 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-3 + -2x = 0

Solving

-3 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + -2x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + 3

-2x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

-2x = 3

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -1.5

Simplifying

x = -1.5  

Set the factor '(15 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

15 + -2x = 0

Solving

15 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + -2x = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -15

-2x = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 0 + -15 = -15

-2x = -15

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 7.5

Simplifying

x = 7.5

Solution

x = {-1.5, 7.5}
