MARC:

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

MARC:

use the quadratic formula to solve this eqn.

MARC:

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

MARC:

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

MARC:

a=1 b=6 c=-3

MARC:

sub. these values into the quadratic formula.

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-(6)\pm\sqrt{(6)^{2}-4(1)(-3)}}{2(1)}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{48}}{2}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{48}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{16\times3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{16}\times\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6+4\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{2(-3+2\sqrt{3})}{2}\) \(x=-3+2\sqrt{3}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{48}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{16\times3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{16}\times\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6-4\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{2(-3-2\sqrt{3})}{2}\) \(x=-3-2\sqrt{3}\)

MARC:

Therefore,answer is D.

8. Solve the eqn. \(3x^{2}+x=\frac{2}{3}\)

MARC:

We don't like fractions when solving the quadratic eqn.

MARC:

First,multiply both sides by 3.

MARC:

\(3(3x^{2}+x)=\frac{2}{3}\times3\)

MARC:

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

MARC:

Then,make it into its general form. \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)

MARC:

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

MARC:

Use the quadratic formula to solve the eqn.

MARC:

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

MARC:

\(\color{red}{9}x^{2}+\color{blue}{3}x\color{green}{-2}=0\) \(\color{red}{a}x^{2}+\color{blue}{b}x+\color{green}{c}=0\)

MARC:

a=9 b=3 c=-2

MARC:

sub. these values into the quadratic formula.

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^{2}-4(9)(-2)}}{2(9)}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{81}}{18}\) \(x=\frac{-3\pm9}{18}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-3+9}{18}\) \(x=\frac{6}{18}\) \(x=\frac{1}{3}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-3-9}{18}\) \(x=\frac{-12}{18}\) \(x=-\frac{2}{3}\)

MARC:

Thus,the values of x are \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(-\frac{2}{3}\)

MARC:

Therefore,answer is B.

MARC:

4. Rewrite the eqn in vertex form.Name the vertex and y-intercept. \(y=x^{2}-10x+15\)

MARC:

use completing the square method to rewrite the eqn in vertex form.

MARC:

\(y=x^{2}-10x+(\frac{-10}{2})^{2}-(\frac{-10}{2})^{2}+15\)

MARC:

\(y=x^{2}+(-5)^{2}-(5)^{2}+15\)

MARC:

\(y=(x-5)^{2}-25+15\) \(y=(x-5)^{2}-10\)

MARC:

Now,lets find the vertex point \(x-5=0\) \(x=5\) vertex point: (5,-10)

MARC:

when x=0,y-intercept is \(y=(0-5)^{2}-10\) \(y=25-10\) \(y=15\)

MARC:

Therefore,answer is B.

MARC:

MARC:

7. Solve the eqn. \(2x^{2}+2x-5=x^{2}\)

MARC:

use the quadratic formula to solve the eqn.

MARC:

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

MARC:

Before using the quadratic formula,make the eqn into its general form. \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)

MARC:

\(x^{2}+2x-5=0\)

MARC:

\(\color{red}{1}x^{2}+\color{blue}{2}x\color{green}{-5}=0\) \(\color{red}{a}x^{2}+\color{blue}{b}x+\color{green}{c}=0\)

MARC:

a=1 b=2 c=-5

MARC:

sub. these values into the quadratic formula.

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{(2)^{2}-4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{24}}{2}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4\times6}}{2}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4}\times\sqrt{6}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-2\pm2\sqrt{6}}{2}\) Factorise 2 \(x=\frac{2(-1\pm\sqrt{6})}{2(1)}\) \(x=-1\pm\sqrt{6}\)

MARC:

Therefore,answer is A.

2. Calculate the height of the trapezoid.

MARC:

Lets sketch a diagram of a trapezoid.

MARC:

|dw:1481858232517:dw|

MARC:

shorter base=h+3 longer base=h+77 area of the trapezoid=225 h=?

MARC:

sub. these values into the given formula...

MARC:

area=\(\frac{1}{2}h(b_{1}+b_{2})\)

MARC:

\(225=\frac{1}{2}h(h+3+h+7)\)

MARC:

\(225=\frac{1}{2}h(2h+10)\) \(225=h(h+5)\)

MARC:

\(h^{2}+5h=225\) \(h^{2}+5h-225\) use the quadratic formula to solve the eqn.

MARC:

\(h^{2}+5h=225\) \(h^{2}+5h-225=0\) use the quadratic formula to solve the eqn.

MARC:

\(\color{red}{1}h^{2}+\color{blue}{5}h\color{green}{-225}=0\) \(\color{red}{a}h^{2}+\color{blue}{b}h+\color{green}{c}=0\)

MARC:

a=1 b=5 c=-225

MARC:

sub. these values into the quadratic formula.

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{(5)^{2}-4(1)(-225)}}{2(1)}\) \(x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{925}}{2}\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{925}}{2}\) \(x=12.71\)

MARC:

\(x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{925}}{2}\) \(x=-17.71\) This value is not accepted bcoz it has negative sign...

MARC:

Therefore,answer is D.
