Maths question

MARC:

\(36x^2=100\)

MARC:

Divide both sides by 36

MARC:

\(\frac{36x^{2}}{36}=\frac{100}{36}\)

MARC:

\(x^2=\frac{100}{36}\)

MARC:

simplify it...

MARC:

\(x^2=\frac{25\times4}{9\times4}\)

MARC:

\(x^{2}=\frac{25}{9}\times\frac{4}{4}\)

MARC:

\(x^{2}=\frac{25}{9}\)

MARC:

square root both sides...

MARC:

\(\sqrt{x^{2}}=\pm\sqrt{\frac{25}{9}}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{5}{3},-\frac{5}{3}\)

MARC:

Therefore,answer is D.

MARC:

...

MARC:

\(x^2+12x+36=25\)

MARC:

make the eqn into general form ax^2+bx+c=0

MARC:

subtract both sides by 25

MARC:

\(x^{2}+12x+36-25=0\)

MARC:

\(x^{2}+12x+11=0\)

MARC:

Factorise the quadractic eqn...

MARC:

|dw:1481282101895:dw|

MARC:

\((x+11)(x+1)=0\)

MARC:

u can double check ur answer by expanding the bracket... \((x+11)(x+1)=0\)

MARC:

solve for x

MARC:

\(x+11=0\) \(x+1=0\) \(x=-11\) \(x=-1\)

MARC:

Therefore,answer is C.

MARC:

...

MARC:

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.

MARC:

\(y=\frac{3}{5}x^{2}+30x+382\)

MARC:

Factorise 3/5 on the right hand side eqn...

MARC:

\(y=\frac{3}{5}(x^{2}+50x+\frac{1910}{3})\)

MARC:

\(y=\frac{3}{5}(x^{2}+50x+(\frac{50}{2})^{2}-(\frac{50}{2})^{2}+\frac{1910}{3})\)

MARC:

\(y=\frac{3}{5}(x^{2}+(25)^{2}-(25)^{2}+\frac{1910}{3})\)

MARC:

\(y=\frac{3}{5}[(x+25)^{2}-625+\frac{1910}{3}]\)

MARC:

\(y=\frac{3}{5}[(x+25)^{2}+\frac{35}{3}]\)

MARC:

\(y=\frac{3}{5}(x+25)^{2}+7\)

MARC:

To get a vertex form, u must use completing the square method as shown above...

MARC:

Now,u can find the vertex and the y-intercept...

MARC:

\(x+25=0\) \(x=-25\) Therefore,the minimum point is (-25,7)

MARC:

Thus,the vertex is =(-25,7)

MARC:

when x=0, \(y=\frac{3}{5}(0+25)^{2}+7\)

MARC:

\(y=375+7\)

MARC:

\(y=382\)

MARC:

Thus,the y-intercept is 382.

MARC:

Therefore,the answer is A.

MARC:

First,list out the factors of 18 which are 1,2,3,6,9 and 18.

MARC:

|dw:1481290755761:dw|

MARC:

Think:what are the two values u needed when u multiply both numbers in order to get 18?

MARC:

The possible answer are 9 and 2 or 3 and 6...

MARC:

|dw:1481291364647:dw|

MARC:

|dw:1481291595076:dw|

MARC:

what value u get when u multiply 9 with 2?

MARC:

Answer is 18.

MARC:

Do the samething for 3 and 6.

MARC:

what value u get when u multiply 3 with 6?

MARC:

Answer is also 18.

MARC:

Do the samething as question 1.

MARC:

The pattern is similar...

MARC:

MARC:

First,list the factors of 1.

MARC:

Factors of 1 is 1.

MARC:

Think:what are the two values u needed when u multiply both numbers in order to get -1?

MARC:

Answer is -1 and 1.

MARC:

what value u get when u multiply -1 with -1?

MARC:

Answer is 1.

MARC:

\(x^{2}-x+(\color{red}{1})\)

MARC:

Therefore,answer is A

MARC:

...

MARC:

Samething here...

MARC:

similar to question 1 and 2.

MARC:

Pattern similar*

MARC:

\(x^{2}\color{red}{-24}x+(~~~)\)

Factors of 24: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24

MARC:

....

MARC:

\(3x^{2}+x=\frac{2}{3}\) Find the values of x.

MARC:

make the eqn into the general form \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)

MARC:

\(3x^{2}+x-\frac{2}{3}=0\)

MARC:

we do not like fractions when factoring quadratic eqn...

MARC:

multiply the eqn by 3

MARC:

\(\color{red}{3}\times(3x^{2}+x-\frac{2}{3}=0)\)

MARC:

\(9x^{2}+3x-2=0\)

MARC:

Factorise the quadratic eqn.

MARC:

|dw:1481356581737:dw|

MARC:

u can double check ur quadratic eqn by opening the bracket...

MARC:

\(\color{red}{(}3x+2\color{red}{)}\color{red}{(}3x-1\color{red}{)}=0\)

MARC:

solve for x...

MARC:

\(3x+2=0\) \(x=-\frac{2}{3}\)

MARC:

\(3x-1=0\) \(x=\frac{1}{3}\)

MARC:

Thus,the values of x are -2\3 and 1\3

MARC:

Therefore,answer is B.

MARC:

...

MARC:

Solve the eqn. \(x^{2}-30x+225=400\)

MARC:

Make the eqn into its general form \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)

MARC:

subtract both sides by 400

MARC:

\(x^{2}-30x+225-400=400-400\)

MARC:

\(x^{2}-30x-175=0\)

MARC:

Factorise the quadratic eqn.

MARC:

similar as question \(3x^{2}+x=\frac{2}{3}\)

MARC:

now,let's try a new method by using a calculator

MARC:

i can't teach u how to use a calculator bcoz we might not hv the same calculator...

MARC:

u can search the manual instructions in the internet.

MARC:

\((x-35)(x+5)=0\)

MARC:

solve for x.

MARC:

\(x-35=0\) \(x=35\)

MARC:

\(x+5=0\) \(x=-5\)

MARC:

Thus,the values of x are 35 and -5

MARC:

Therefore,the answer is B

4. Find the dimensions of the garden with the maximum area.

MARC:

Perimeter of a fence for fencing around the rectangular garden=100 feet

MARC:

\(Area=50x-x^{2}\)

MARC:

First,sketch a rectangular garden.

MARC:

|dw:1481358644570:dw|

MARC:

Let say x=length and y=width

MARC:

\(2x+2y=100\)

MARC:

Factorise 2 on the left hand side

MARC:

\(\color{red}{2}(x+y)=100\)

MARC:

divide both sides by 2

MARC:

\(x+y=50\)

MARC:

\(x=50-y\)

MARC:

Substitute \(x=50-y\) into \(A=50x-x^{2}\)

MARC:

\(A=50(50-y)-(50-y)^{2}\)

MARC:

Expand the brackets...

MARC:

\(A=2500-50y-[(50-y)(50-y)]\)

MARC:

\(A=2500-50y-(2500+y^2-50y-50y)\)

MARC:

\(A=2500-50y-(2500+y^{2}-100y)\)

MARC:

\(A=2500-50y-2500-y^{2}+100y\)

MARC:

\(A=-y^{2}+50y\)

MARC:

Differentiate A...

MARC:

\(\frac{dA}{dx}=-2y+50\)

MARC:

When area is maximum,\(\frac{dA}{dx}=0\),

MARC:

\(0=-2y+50\)

MARC:

\(2y=50\) \(y=25\)

MARC:

when \(y=25\),

MARC:

\(x+y=50\)

MARC:

\(x+25=50\)

MARC:

\(x=25\)

MARC:

Therefore,the length is 25 and the width is also 25.

MARC:

Answer is B.

MARC:

...

MARC:

Solve the eqn. \(x^2-4x+4=100\)

MARC:

Make it into its general form \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)

MARC:

\(x^2-4x+4-100=0\)

MARC:

\(x^2-4x-96=0\)

MARC:

Next,factorise the quadratic eqn.

MARC:

|dw:1481602220858:dw|

MARC:

\((x-12)(x+8)=0\)

MARC:

u can double check ur eqn by expanding the brackets.

MARC:

\(\color{red}{(}x-12\color{red}{)}\color{red}{(}x+8\color{red}{)}=0\)

MARC:

okay,solve for x.

MARC:

\(x-12=0\) x=12

MARC:

\(x+8=0\) \(x=-8\)

MARC:

Thus,the values of x are -8 and 12.

MARC:

Therefore,answer is B.

MARC:

...

MARC:

Solve the eqn. \(x^{2}+6x-3=0\)

MARC:

Use the quadratic formula to solve that eqn.

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\)

MARC:

\(\color{red}{a}x^{2}+\color{blue}{b}x+\color{green}{c}=0\)

MARC:

\(\color{red}{1}x^{2}+(\color{blue}{-6}x)+(\color{green}{-3})=0\)

MARC:

a=1 b=-6 c=-3

MARC:

sub. these values into the quadractic formula.
