how to know which way to solve a quadratic equation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  Practice -- lots of it

Step-by-step explanation:

I usually choose a solution method that I believe will find the desired answer for me in the least number of simple steps. What constitutes a "simple" step depends on a number of things:

the given information and/or the given form of the equationfamiliarity with all of the different solution processesfamiliarity with arithmetic facts (multiplication tables, squares)familiarity with quadratic forms: difference of squares, perfect square binomials, product of binomials, vertex formavailability of a graphing calculatorwhether an approximation will serve the purpose.

__

I often choose a graphing calculator as my first approach to solving a quadratic. It easily shows the roots, and can show the vertex. (Sometimes, scaling the graph is required, so I actually prefer to use a touch-screen for the purpose. It is easier to "pinch" than to type in possible graph limits by trial and error.) The answer is generally provided to 3 or 4 significant figures, which is usually enough to tell if the solution is rational or irrational.

The easiest way to describe an integer (or rational) solution to someone else (on Brainly, for example) is usually to show the factoring of the quadratic. Finding the roots with a graphing calculator significantly aids the factoring process. (It is much easier to "find" the solution if you know the solution before you start looking.)

__

As we said at the beginning, the answer to your question is "practice." Many curricula try to offer opportunities to practice. I find most of these pretty annoying. What I suggest is that you find your own internal motivation to practice solving different kinds of quadratics in several different ways. That is, solve the same quadratic by ...

using the formulacompleting the squarefactoringgraphing (with a graphing calculator)scaling and/or translation and/or transformation*

It might take you a couple of hours of work to learn the best way to solve an equation in under 5 minutes.

In this process, you will discover what you need to know to choose a method that works nicely for you. I believe you will find that total familiarity with arithmetic facts (sums, products, squares) and operations on all the different ways to represent numbers (integer, decimal, fraction, percent, scientific notation) will help you significantly.

* Additional comment

Some "area" problems give you the difference of dimensions (length and width), and ask you to find the dimensions that give a specific area. This can be solved by (x)(x -d) = A. If you don't immediately recognize factors of A that differ by d, then you might have to resort to the quadratic formula to solve this.

Another approach is to let the variable represent the average dimension. Then the equation becomes (x -d/2)(x +d/2) = A, which is a "difference of squares" form that is much more easily solved. The solution for x is √(A +(d/2)²), and all you have to do is add and subtract d/2 from that solution to find the dimensions. This is an example of what I mean by transforming the problem.

Answers

Answer:

D. –5.2 + (–6.4) = –11.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can eliminate A and C because 5.2 is positive. Since the red arrow is pointing left, it indicates that the number (-5.2) is negative.

Then, you look at the second arrow, the green one. It is pointing left, so it would be -6.4.

Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.
The first bicyclist rides due north and the other rides
due west. Find the speed that each bicyclist rode in
miles per hour if they are 8V2 miles apart after riding
for 2 hours at the same speed

Answers

Answer:

  4 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.

Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

_____

Additional comment

Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...

  c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs

  c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle

  c² = 2

  c = √2

That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.

The acute angles of a right triangle measure (48 - x) and (3x – 10). What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf x = 26}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The acute angles of a right-angled triangle other than the right angle always add up to 90 degrees.

So, we get:

(48 - x) + (3x - 10) = 90

48 - x + 3x - 10 = 90

-x + 3x - 10 + 48 = 90

2x + 38 = 90

2x = 90 - 38

2x = 52

Divide both sides by 2

x = 52 / 2

x = 26

The acute angles of a right-angled triangle other than the right angle always add up to 90 degrees.

So, we get:

48 - x + 3x - 10 = 90

-x + 3x - 10 + 48 = 90

2x + 38 = 90

2x = 90 - 38

2x = 52

Divide both sides by 2

x = 52 / 2

h(8) = -2(8)^2 + 4(8)- 7

Answers

Answer:

h = - 103/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Re-order terms so constants are on the left

8h = = -2(8)²+4(8)-7

2) Evaluate the exponent

8h = -2·64+4(8)-7

3) Multiply the numbers

8h = -128+4(8)-7

4) Multiply the numbers

8h = -128+32-7

5) Add the numbers

8h = -103

6) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

8h/8 = -103/8

7) Simplify

- Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

h = -103/8

5x-15y=-20, 5x-4y=-9 systems of equations (elimination)

Answers

Answer:

(- 1, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 15y = - 20 → (1)

5x - 4y = - 9 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 1 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term

- 5x + 4y = 9 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 - 11y = - 11

- 11y = - 11 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

5x - 15(1) = - 20

5x - 15 = - 20 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 1

solution is (- 1, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is in the left oval, the range is in the right oval. To find if its a function you have to make sure the domain (left side) doesn't "cheat". One number in the domain cant have more than one number in the range (right side), BUT (for future reference) the range can cheat. As shown, the right side numbers 1 and 6 have two different arrow pointed at them. As long as the domain doesnt "cheat" it is a function
