    Study Notes

    Quadratic Equations and Their Solutions

    • Quadratic equations can have at most two solutions due to their parabolic graph shape.
    • Examples of solutions include:
      • Two real solutions: (x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0) factors to ((x-2)(x-3)=0).
      • One real solution: (x^2 - 4x + 4 = 0) simplifies to ((x-2)^2=0).
      • No real solutions: (x^2 + 1 = 0) has complex solutions (x = i) and (x = -i).

    Comparisons of Quadratic Equations

    • Solutions of (w^2 = 49) are (w = 7) and (w = -7).
    • Solutions of (w^2 + 49 = 0) do not exist in the real numbers, only in complex format.
    • Sheryl’s claim that these equations have the same solutions is incorrect.

    Real-World Application of Quadratics

    • Constructing a square table with an area of 3 m² is impossible with rational measurements—only irrational solutions can exist.
    • In practical scenarios, understanding quadratic equations helps in planning spaces and materials, such as requiring precise dimensions.

    Square Roots and Types of Numbers

    • Every positive number has two square roots, one positive and one negative; zero has one square root (0), and negative numbers lack real square roots.
    • Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions or decimals that terminate or repeat, while irrational numbers cannot be expressed in such forms (e.g., (\sqrt{2}, \pi)).
    • Examples of rational and irrational numbers include:
      • Rational: 8, 60
      • Irrational: (-40) (not rational), (-90) (not rational)

    Problem-Solving with Quadratics

    • Check solutions by substituting back into the original equation—both (x = 3) and (x = -6) satisfy (x^2 + 3x - 18 = 0).
    • Another example: Completing the square on (x^2 - 6x - 41 = 0) to find solutions yields irrational roots.

    Practical Tasks and Expression Formulation

    • Assignments involve creating designs for classroom fixtures while expressing mathematical principles and solving related quadratic equations.
    • Problems may arise from practical tasks, helping link theoretical math to physical applications.

    Summary of Learning

    • Solving quadratics through factoring, completing the square, and extracting roots is essential in mathematics.
    • Understanding these concepts facilitates real-world applications, aiding in decision-making and problem-solving in various scenarios.
