Maths question
solve the eqn. \(x^{2}+6x-3=0\)
use the quadratic formula to solve this eqn.
Quadratic formula \(x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\)
\(\color{red}{a}x^{2}+\color{blue}{b}x+\color{green}{c}=0\) \(\color{red}{1}x^{2}+\color{blue}{6}x\color{green}{-3}=0\)
a=1 b=6 c=-3
sub. these values into the quadratic formula.
\(x=\frac{-(6)\pm\sqrt{(6)^{2}-4(1)(-3)}}{2(1)}\)
\(x=\frac{-6\pm\sqrt{48}}{2}\)
\(x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{48}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{16\times3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{16}\times\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6+4\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{2(-3+2\sqrt{3})}{2}\) \(x=-3+2\sqrt{3}\)
\(x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{48}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{16\times3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{16}\times\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-6-4\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{2(-3-2\sqrt{3})}{2}\) \(x=-3-2\sqrt{3}\)
Therefore,answer is D.

8. Solve the eqn. \(3x^{2}+x=\frac{2}{3}\)
We don't like fractions when solving the quadratic eqn.
First,multiply both sides by 3.
\(3(3x^{2}+x)=\frac{2}{3}\times3\)
\(9x^{2}+3x=2\)
Then,make it into its general form. \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)
\(9x^{2}+3x-2=0\)
Use the quadratic formula to solve the eqn.
Quadratic formula \(x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\)
\(\color{red}{9}x^{2}+\color{blue}{3}x\color{green}{-2}=0\) \(\color{red}{a}x^{2}+\color{blue}{b}x+\color{green}{c}=0\)
a=9 b=3 c=-2
sub. these values into the quadratic formula.
\(x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^{2}-4(9)(-2)}}{2(9)}\)
\(x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{81}}{18}\) \(x=\frac{-3\pm9}{18}\)
\(x=\frac{-3+9}{18}\) \(x=\frac{6}{18}\) \(x=\frac{1}{3}\)
\(x=\frac{-3-9}{18}\) \(x=\frac{-12}{18}\) \(x=-\frac{2}{3}\)
Thus,the values of x are \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(-\frac{2}{3}\)
Therefore,answer is B.
...
4. Rewrite the eqn in vertex form.Name the vertex and y-intercept. \(y=x^{2}-10x+15\)
use completing the square method to rewrite the eqn in vertex form.
\(y=x^{2}-10x+(\frac{-10}{2})^{2}-(\frac{-10}{2})^{2}+15\)
\(y=x^{2}+(-5)^{2}-(5)^{2}+15\)
\(y=(x-5)^{2}-25+15\) \(y=(x-5)^{2}-10\)
Now,lets find the vertex point \(x-5=0\) \(x=5\) vertex point: (5,-10)
when x=0,y-intercept is \(y=(0-5)^{2}-10\) \(y=25-10\) \(y=15\)
Therefore,answer is B.
...
7. Solve the eqn. \(2x^{2}+2x-5=x^{2}\)
use the quadratic formula to solve the eqn.
Quadratic formula \(x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\)
Before using the quadratic formula,make the eqn into its general form. \(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)
\(x^{2}+2x-5=0\)
\(\color{red}{1}x^{2}+\color{blue}{2}x\color{green}{-5}=0\) \(\color{red}{a}x^{2}+\color{blue}{b}x+\color{green}{c}=0\)
a=1 b=2 c=-5
sub. these values into the quadratic formula.
\(x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{(2)^{2}-4(1)(-5)}}{2(1)}\)
\(x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{24}}{2}\)
\(x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4\times6}}{2}\)
\(x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4}\times\sqrt{6}}{2}\) \(x=\frac{-2\pm2\sqrt{6}}{2}\) Factorise 2 \(x=\frac{2(-1\pm\sqrt{6})}{2(1)}\) \(x=-1\pm\sqrt{6}\)
Therefore,answer is A.

2. Calculate the height of the trapezoid.
Lets sketch a diagram of a trapezoid.
|dw:1481858232517:dw|
shorter base=h+3 longer base=h+77 area of the trapezoid=225 h=?
sub. these values into the given formula...
area=\(\frac{1}{2}h(b_{1}+b_{2})\)
\(225=\frac{1}{2}h(h+3+h+7)\)
\(225=\frac{1}{2}h(2h+10)\) \(225=h(h+5)\)
\(h^{2}+5h=225\) \(h^{2}+5h-225\) use the quadratic formula to solve the eqn.
\(h^{2}+5h=225\) \(h^{2}+5h-225=0\) use the quadratic formula to solve the eqn.
\(\color{red}{1}h^{2}+\color{blue}{5}h\color{green}{-225}=0\) \(\color{red}{a}h^{2}+\color{blue}{b}h+\color{green}{c}=0\)
a=1 b=5 c=-225
sub. these values into the quadratic formula.
\(x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{(5)^{2}-4(1)(-225)}}{2(1)}\) \(x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{925}}{2}\)
\(x=\frac{-5+\sqrt{925}}{2}\) \(x=12.71\)
\(x=\frac{-5-\sqrt{925}}{2}\) \(x=-17.71\) This value is not accepted bcoz it has negative sign...
Therefore,answer is D.
