HOW DO YOU SOLVE QUADRATIC - SOLVED EXAMPLES, EXERCISE

Please study
about Quadratic Equation before How Do You Solve Quadratic
if you have not already done so.

There, we gave introduction to Quadratic polynomial,
Quadratic Equation, Methods to solve the Quadratic
Equations and about Method of Solving by Factoring.

That knowledge is a prerequisite here.

Here, we apply the Method to solve problems.
Solved Examples and Exercise problems are given.

Example 1 : How Do You Solve Quadratic

Solve x² + x - 42 = 0.

Solution of Example 1 How Do You Solve Quadratic :

The Factoring of the LHS of the above Equation is given below.

-*-*-*-*-*-*
Let P = x² + x - 42

In Factoring of Trinomials (Quadratics), we follow the five steps.

Step 1: Coefficient of x² x constant term
= 1 x -42 = -42

Step 2: We have to express -42 as two factors whose sum
= coefficient of x = 1 ;
-42 = -6 x 7; (- 6 + 7 = 1)

Step 3: P = x² + x - 42 = x² + 7x - 6x - 42

Step 4: P = x(x + 7) - 6(x + 7)

Step 5: P = (x + 7)(x - 6)

Thus, By Factoring the Quadratic Polynomial, x² + x - 42,we get the Factors as (x + 7)(x - 6)

-*-*-*-*-*-*

x² + x - 42 = 0 ⇒ (x + 7)(x - 6) = 0
⇒ (x + 7) = 0 or (x - 6) = 0
(x + 7) = 0 ⇒ x = -7
(x - 6) = 0 ⇒ x = 6
Thus, x = -7, 6 are the two roots of the given Quadratic equation. Ans.

Example 2 : How Do You Solve Quadratic

Solve 12 - 4x - 5x² = 0.

Solution of Example 2 of How Do You Solve Quadratic :

The Factoring of the LHS of the above Equation is given below.

-*-*-*-*-*-*
Let P = 12 - 4x - 5x² = -5x² - 4x + 12

In Factoring of Trinomials (Quadratics) , we follow the five steps.

Step 1: Coefficient of x² x constant term
= -5 x 12 = -60

Step 2: We have to express -60 as two factors whose sum
= coefficient of x = -4 ;
-60 = -10 x 6; (-10 + 6 = 4)

Step 3: P = -5x² - 4x + 12 = -5x² - 10x + 6x + 12

Step 4: P = -5x(x + 2) + 6(x + 2)

Step 5: P = (x + 2)(-5x + 6)

Thus, By Factoring the Quadratic Polynomial, 12 - 4x - 5x²,we get the Factors as (x + 2)(-5x + 6)

-*-*-*-*-*-*

12 - 4x - 5x² = 0 ⇒ (x + 2)(-5x + 6) = 0
⇒ (x + 2)= 0 or (-5x + 6) = 0
(x + 2) = 0 ⇒ x = -2
(-5x + 6) = 0 ⇒ -5x = -6 ⇒ x = -6⁄-5 = 6⁄5
Thus, x = -2, 6⁄5 are the two roots of the given Quadratic equation. Ans.

Progressive Learning of Math : How Do You Solve Quadratic

Recently, I have found a series of math curricula
(Both Hard Copy and Digital Copy) developed by a Lady Teacher
who taught everyone from Pre-K students to doctoral students
and who is a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education.

This series is very different and advantageous
over many of the traditional books available.
These give students tools that other books do not.
Other books just give practice.
These teach students “tricks” and new ways to think.

These build a student’s new knowledge of concepts
from their existing knowledge.
These provide many pages of practice that gradually
increases in difficulty and provide constant review.

These also provide teachers and parents with lessons
on how to work with the child on the concepts.

The series is low to reasonably priced and include

Elementary Math curriculum

and

Algebra Curriculum.
