    Study Notes

    Quadratic Equations: Problem Solving

    • A rectangular table has an area of 27 square feet and a perimeter of 24 feet.
    • Area formula: Length × Width = 27.
    • Perimeter formula: 2(Length + Width) = 24.
    • Simplifying perimeter equation results in Length + Width = 12.
    • Set up a quadratic equation using the relationships: x² - 12x + 27 = 0.
    • Factoring gives (x - 3)(x - 9) = 0, leading to roots x = 3 and x = 9.
    • Width = 3 feet, Length = 9 feet (length is always the larger value).
    • Confirmation: Area 3 × 9 = 27 square feet and Perimeter (2 × 3) + (2 × 9) = 24 feet.

    Sum of Two Numbers Problem

    • Two numbers have a sum of 19 and sum of their squares is 193.
    • Let one number be x, the other is 19 - x.
    • Representing the sum of squares: x² + (19 - x)² = 193.
    • Expanding gives: x² + 361 - 38x + x² = 193.
    • Combined terms yield: 2x² - 38x + 168 = 0.
    • Dividing by 2 reduces to: x² - 19x + 84 = 0.
    • Factoring results in (x - 7)(x - 12) = 0, giving roots x = 7 and x = 12.
    • Therefore, the two numbers are 7 and 12.
    • Verification: 7 + 12 = 19 and squares 49 + 144 = 193.

    Inclined Ramp Problem

    • Inclined ramp's length (hypotenuse) is 8 meters longer than the rise, and the run is 7 meters longer than the rise.
    • Let x be the rise, making run = x + 7 and length = x + 8.
    • Use the Pythagorean theorem: (x + 8)² = x² + (x + 7)².
    • Expanding both sides yields: x² + 16x + 64 = x² + 14x + 49.
    • Rearranging leads to x² - 2x - 15 = 0.
    • Factoring gives: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0, leading to valid solution x = 5 (length must be non-negative).
    • Thus, Rise = 5 meters, Run = 12 meters, and Length (hypotenuse) = 13 meters.

    Quadratic Equations: Problem Solving

    • A rectangular table's area is 27 square feet.
    • The perimeter of the table is 24 feet.
    • Area can be calculated using the formula: Length × Width = 27.
    • Perimeter is calculated with: 2(Length + Width) = 24, simplifying to Length + Width = 12.
    • Set up the quadratic equation: x² - 12x + 27 = 0.
    • The equation factors to (x - 3)(x - 9) = 0, resulting in roots: x = 3 and x = 9.
    • Assign Width = 3 feet and Length = 9 feet; the larger value corresponds to length.
    • Verification shows: Area calculation 3 × 9 = 27 square feet and Perimeter calculation (2 × 3) + (2 × 9) = 24 feet.

    Sum of Two Numbers Problem

    • The two numbers have a combined sum of 19.
    • Their squared sum is indicated as 193.
    • Define one number as x and the other as 19 - x.
    • Establish the equation for the sum of squares: x² + (19 - x)² = 193.
    • Expanding provides: x² + 361 - 38x + x² = 193.
    • Combining yields the equation: 2x² - 38x + 168 = 0.
    • This is reduced to: x² - 19x + 84 = 0 after dividing by 2.
    • Factoring results in (x - 7)(x - 12) = 0, giving roots x = 7 and x = 12.
    • The actual numbers are 7 and 12.
    • Validation shows: 7 + 12 = 19 and 49 + 144 = 193.

    Inclined Ramp Problem

    • The inclined ramp's length (hypotenuse) is 8 meters longer than the rise.
    • The run is defined as 7 meters longer than the rise.
    • Let the rise be represented as x; then run = x + 7, length = x + 8.
    • Apply the Pythagorean theorem: (x + 8)² = x² + (x + 7)².
    • Expansion leads to the equation: x² + 16x + 64 = x² + 14x + 49.
    • Rearranging results in the quadratic: x² - 2x - 15 = 0.
    • Factoring the equation gives: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 0, with a valid solution of x = 5.
    • The Rise is determined to be 5 meters, leading to a Run of 12 meters and a Length (hypotenuse) of 13 meters.
