    Study Notes

    Finding the Least Common Multiple (LCM)

    • The LCM of 75, 80, and 90 is 3600 cm.
    • This is calculated by finding the prime factorization of each number and then taking the highest power of each prime factor.

    Absolute Value of Complex Numbers

    • The absolute value of a complex number (a + bi) is calculated as the square root of (a² + b²).
    • The absolute value of 3 + 4i is 5.

    Solving Quadratic Equations

    • The quadratic equation x² + x - 20 = 0 can be factored into (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0.
    • This leads to solutions of x = -5 and x = 4.

    Solving Systems of Equations

    • The system of equations x + y = 7 and x² + 2y² = 34 can be solved by substituting y from the first equation into the second equation.
    • The solution is x = 4.

    Solving Equations with Multiple Variables

    • The system of equations (x + y)(x + y + z) = 384, (y + z)(x + y + z) = 288, and (x + z)(x + y + z) = 480 can be solved by adding all three equations together.
    • This leads to x + y + z = ±24.
    • By substituting this value back into each of the original equations, we find the solution sets are (x = ±12, y = ±4, z = ±8).

    Solving Quadratic Equations with a Given Relationship Between Roots

    • If one root of the quadratic equation x² - 4x + 3m = 0 exceeds the other by 2, we can use the relationship between the roots to find the value of m.
    • The sum of the roots is 4, and since one root is 2 more than the other, we can find the roots as 1 and 3.
    • The product of the roots is 3, so m = 1.

    Descartes' Rule of Signs

    • The number of positive real roots of a polynomial equation is equal to the number of sign changes in the polynomial or less than that number by an even positive integer.
    • The polynomial $x^7 + 14x^3 + 16x + 30x - 560 = 0$ has one sign change, indicating that it has one positive real root.

    Discriminant of a Quadratic Equation

    • The discriminant of the quadratic equation 4x² - 8x + 5 = 0 is -16.
    • This is calculated using the formula D = b² - 4ac, where a = 4, b = -8, and c = 5.

    Solving Cubic Equations

    • The cubic equation $4x^3 - 2x^2 + x - 3 = 0$ has one positive real root.
    • This can be found using a calculator or by using numerical methods.

    Natural Logarithm of e

    • The natural logarithm of e (ln e) is equal to xy, where y is the natural logarithm of e.

    Exponent Operations

    • The expression $(0.001)^\frac{2}{3}$ can be simplified as antilog [log 0.001]$\frac{2}{3}$.

    Factoring Expressions

    • The expression $3x^3 - 3x^2 - 18x$ can be factored as 3x(x - 3)(x + 2).

    Classifying Numbers

    • 8 + 0i is a real number.

    Simplifying Fractions

    • The fraction $\frac{3x - 1}{x + 3} \times \frac{x^2 - 1}{x^2 + 3x + 2} \times \frac{x + 2}{2x - 3}$ can be simplified to $\frac{1}{2x - 3}$.

    Solving Equations with Fractional Exponents

    • The equation $x^{-3} - 9x^{-3/2} + 8 = 0$ can be solved by substituting x = 8, 1.
    • The solution is x = 1/4.

    Solving Equations with Exponential Terms

    • The equation 1.4 = $(\frac{0.0613}{x})^{-3.2}$ can be solved using a calculator.
    • The solution is x = 0.04751.

    Surface Area of a Cone

    • The surface area of a hollow cone is given by the formula A = πrL, where r is the radius and L is the slant height.
    • When r = 3.0 cm and L = 8.5 cm, the surface area is 80.1 cm².

    Solving Exponential Equations with Multiple Variables

    • The system of equations $8^{(x)} = 2^{(y + 2)}$ and $16^{(3x - y)} = 4^y$ can be solved by equating the exponents after expressing all terms in the same base.
    • The solutions are x = 2 and y = 4.

    Solving Cubic Equations

    • The cubic equation $x^3 - 8x - 3 = 0$ has roots x = 3, -0.382, -2.62.

    Solving Exponential Equations with a Constant Term

    • The equation $17.3 = e^{1.1x}$ can be solved using a calculator.
    • The solution is x = 2.6.

    Determining the Solution of a Quadratic Equation

    • The equation $50x^2 + 5(x - 2)^2 = -1$ has no real solutions.
    • This is because squaring any real number will always result in a non-negative value.

    Happy Numbers

    • A happy number is a number that eventually reaches 1 when repeatedly replacing it with the sum of the squares of its digits.
    • 100 is a happy number because $1^2 + 0^2 + 0^2 = 1$.

    Determining the Number of Real Roots in a Polynomial Equation

    • The equation $x^7 + 14x^3 + 16x + 30x - 560 = 0$ has one real solution.
    • This can be determined using Descartes' Rule of Signs, which states that the number of positive real roots is equal to the number of sign changes in the polynomial or less than that number by an even positive integer.
