Solving Quadratic Equations



Solving Quadratic Equations

Solving quadratic equations (equations with x2 can be done in different ways.  We will use two

different methods.  What both methods have in common is that the equation has to be set to = 0.  For instance, if the equation was x2 – 22 = 9x, you would have to subtract 9x from both sides of the equal sign so the equation would be x2 – 9x – 22 = 0.

Solve by factoring: After the equation is set equal to 0, you factor the trinomial.

                                    x2 – 9x – 22 = 0

                                    (x-11) (x+2) = 0

Now you would set each factor equal to zero and solve.  Think about it, if the product of the two binomials equals zero, well then one of the factors has to be zero. 

                                    x2 – 9x – 22 = 0

                                    (x-11) (x+2) = 0

                            x – 11 = 0        x + 2 = 0

                              +11    +11         -2       -2

                             x = 11      or       x = -2                   * Check in the ORIGINAL equation!

Solve using the quadratic formula:    

When ax2 + bx + c = 0

                        x =    -b  ±  √b2 – 4ac   .

                                             2a

a is the coefficient of x2  b is the coefficient of x   c is the number (third term)

Notice the    ±    is what will give your two answers (just like you had when solving by factoring)

x2 – 9x – 22 = 0                       x =    -b  ±  √b2 – 4ac   .

a = 1                                                             2a

b= - 9

c = -22                                     x =    -(-9)  ±  √ (-9)2 – 4(1)(-22)          -4(1)(-22) = 88

                                                                       2(1)

                                                x =   9  ±  √81 + 88 

                                                                  2

                                             x=    9 ± √169   .       

                                                                  2

Split and do the   + side and - side

                                    9 + 13                                      9 – 13

                                       2                                                2

                                  x = 11              or                     x = -2

is 1. If it is not divide each term by that value to

create a leading coefficient of 1.

[pic] 3. Prepare to add the needed value to create a perfect

square trinomial. Be sure to balance the equation.

Proportions and Percents

Proportions:

A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal.  When trying to solve proportions we use the Cross Products Property of Proportions.

   A      =     C                          A(D) = B(C)

   B              D

Example:

    6__   =     x__                                                 x + 5__   =       1.5___

    11           121                                                    12                    6

6(121)  = 11x                                                   6(x + 5)   =  12(1.5)
