Maths question
\(36x^2=100\)
Divide both sides by 36
\(\frac{36x^{2}}{36}=\frac{100}{36}\)
\(x^2=\frac{100}{36}\)
simplify it...
\(x^2=\frac{25\times4}{9\times4}\)
\(x^{2}=\frac{25}{9}\times\frac{4}{4}\)
\(x^{2}=\frac{25}{9}\)
square root both sides...
\(\sqrt{x^{2}}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}}\)
\(x=\frac{5}{3},-\frac{5}{3}\)
Therefore,answer is D.

\(x^2+12x+36=25\)
make the eqn into general form ax^2+bx+c=0
subtract both sides by 25
\(x^{2}+12x+36-25=0\)
\(x^{2}+12x+11=0\)
Factorise the quadractic eqn...
|dw:1481282101895:dw|
\((x+11)(x+1)=0\)
u can double check ur answer by expanding the bracket... \((x+11)(x+1)=0\)
solve for x
\(x+11=0\) \(x+1=0\) \(x=-11\) \(x=-1\)
Therefore,answer is C.

The vertex form of a quadratic function is given by. f (x) = a(x - h)2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola. FYI: Different textbooks have different interpretations of the reference "standard form" of a quadratic function.
\(y=\frac{3}{5}x^{2}+30x+382\)
Factorise 3/5 on the right hand side eqn...
\(y=\frac{3}{5}(x^{2}+50x+\frac{1910}{3})\)
\(y=\frac{3}{5}(x^{2}+50x+(\frac{50}{2})^{2}-(\frac{50}{2})^{2}+\frac{1910}{3})\)
\(y=\frac{3}{5}(x^{2}+(25)^{2}-(25)^{2}+\frac{1910}{3})\)
\(y=\frac{3}{5}[(x+25)^{2}-625+\frac{1910}{3}]\)
\(y=\frac{3}{5}[(x+25)^{2}+\frac{35}{3}]\)
\(y=\frac{3}{5}(x+25)^{2}+7\)
To get a vertex form, u must use completing the square method as shown above...
Now,u can find the vertex and the y-intercept...
\(x+25=0\) \(x=-25\) Therefore,the minimum point is (-25,7)
Thus,the vertex is =(-25,7)
when x=0, \(y=\frac{3}{5}(0+25)^{2}+7\)
\(y=375+7\)
\(y=382\)
Thus,the y-intercept is 382.
Therefore,the answer is A.

\(3x^{2}+x=\frac{2}{3}\) Find the values of x.
make the eqn into the general form \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)
\(3x^{2}+x-\frac{2}{3}=0\)
we do not like fractions when factoring quadratic eqn...
multiply the eqn by 3
\(\color{red}{3}\times(3x^{2}+x-\frac{2}{3}=0)\)
\(9x^{2}+3x-2=0\)
Factorise the quadratic eqn.
|dw:1481356581737:dw|
u can double check ur quadratic eqn by opening the bracket...
\(\color{red}{(}3x+2\color{red}{)}\color{red}{(}3x-1\color{red}{)}=0\)
solve for x...
\(3x+2=0\) \(x=-\frac{2}{3}\)
\(3x-1=0\) \(x=\frac{1}{3}\)
Thus,the values of x are -2\3 and 1\3
Therefore,answer is B.
...
Solve the eqn. \(x^{2}-30x+225=400\)
Make the eqn into its general form \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)
subtract both sides by 400
\(x^{2}-30x+225-400=400-400\)
\(x^{2}-30x-175=0\)
Factorise the quadratic eqn.
similar as question \(3x^{2}+x=\frac{2}{3}\)
now,let's try a new method by using a calculator
i can't teach u how to use a calculator bcoz we might not hv the same calculator...
u can search the manual instructions in the internet.
\((x-35)(x+5)=0\)
solve for x.
\(x-35=0\) \(x=35\)
\(x+5=0\) \(x=-5\)
Thus,the values of x are 35 and -5
Therefore,the answer is B

4. Find the dimensions of the garden with the maximum area.
Perimeter of a fence for fencing around the rectangular garden=100 feet
\(Area=50x-x^{2}\)
First,sketch a rectangular garden.
|dw:1481358644570:dw|
Let say x=length and y=width
\(2x+2y=100\)
Factorise 2 on the left hand side
\(\color{red}{2}(x+y)=100\)
divide both sides by 2
\(x+y=50\)
\(x=50-y\)
Substitute \(x=50-y\) into \(A=50x-x^{2}\)
\(A=50(50-y)-(50-y)^{2}\)
Expand the brackets...
\(A=2500-50y-[(50-y)(50-y)]\)
\(A=2500-50y-(2500+y^2-50y-50y)\)
\(A=2500-50y-(2500+y^{2}-100y)\)
\(A=2500-50y-2500-y^{2}+100y\)
\(A=-y^{2}+50y\)
Differentiate A...
\(\frac{dA}{dx}=-2y+50\)
When area is maximum,\(\frac{dA}{dx}=0\),
\(0=-2y+50\)
\(2y=50\) \(y=25\)
when \(y=25\),
\(x+y=50\)
\(x+25=50\)
\(x=25\)
Therefore,the length is 25 and the width is also 25.
Answer is B.
...
Solve the eqn. \(x^2-4x+4=100\)
Make it into its general form \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)
\(x^2-4x+4-100=0\)
\(x^2-4x-96=0\)
Next,factorise the quadratic eqn.
|dw:1481602220858:dw|
\((x-12)(x+8)=0\)
u can double check ur eqn by expanding the brackets.
\(\color{red}{(}x-12\color{red}{)}\color{red}{(}x+8\color{red}{)}=0\)
okay,solve for x.
\(x-12=0\) x=12
\(x+8=0\) \(x=-8\)
Thus,the values of x are -8 and 12.
Therefore,answer is B.
...
Solve the eqn. \(x^{2}+6x-3=0\)
Use the quadratic formula to solve that eqn.

\(\color{red}{1}x^{2}+(\color{blue}{-6}x)+(\color{green}{-3})=0\)
a=1 b=-6 c=-3
sub. these values into the quadractic formula.
