How do i solve quadratics and quadratic formula

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Multiply the first and last coefficient

Find a pair that has the product of ac (above) and the sum of b

Replace the b-term with the pair.

Divide the four terms into two-terms on the left side and two terms on the right side and factor out the common terms from each side.

This is reverse of the distributive property so the terms factored out (on the outside of the common term) combine to create a factor and the common term is the other factor.  

Set each factor equal to zero and solve for the variable.

***************************************************************************************

1a. Answer: a = 1/2      a = -1

2a² + 3a + 1 = 0      → ac=2, b = 3    → use 1, 2  (product is 2 & sum is 3)

2a² + 2a + 1a + 1 = 0

2a² + 2a     +1a + 1        = 0

2a(<u>a + 1</u>)      +1(<u>a + 1</u>)      = 0

(2a + 1)(a + 1) = 0

2a + 1 = 0       and         a + 1 = 0

       a = 1/2    and               a = -1

**************************************************************************************

1b. Answer: y = -5/2    y = -5

2y² + 5y - 25 = 0  → ac=-50, b = 5 → use 10, -5  (product is -50 & sum is -5)

2y² + 10y - 5y - 25 = 0

2y² + 10y      - 5y - 25        = 0

2y(<u>y + 5</u>)      -5(<u>y + 5</u>)      = 0

(2y - 5)(y + 5) = 0

2y + 5 = 0       and         y + 5 = 0

       y = -5/2    and               y = -5

**************************************************************************************

1c. Answer: y = 5     y = 1/2

2y² - 11y + 5 = 0  → ac=10, b = -11 → use -1, -10  (product is 10 & sum is -11)

2y² - 1y - 10y + 5 = 0

2y² - 1y       -10y + 5        = 0

y(<u>2y - 1</u>)      -5(<u>2y - 1</u>)      = 0

(y - 5)(2y - 1) = 0

y - 5 = 0       and         2y - 1 = 0

     y = 5       and               y = 1/2

What is the intersection of the given lines AE and DE?
cricket20 [7]

Given statement is "What is the intersection of the given lines AE and DE?".

That gives us information that there are two lines named AE and DE which intersect each other. Now we have to find their intersection point.


If you see carefully the name of both lines AE and DE then you will find that; they have common letter "E" in their name.

That means point "E" lies on both lines.

We know that intersection point always lies on both lines.

Which proves that point "E" is the intersection point.


Hence choice "<u>B. Point E" </u>is the final answer.

Solve -9(t - 2) = 4(1-15).
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

t = 74 / 9

Step-by-step explanation:

-9(t - 2) = 4(1 - 15)

-9t + 18 = 4 - 60

-9t + 18 = -56

 -18      -18

-9t = -74

/-9     /-9

t = 74 / 9

t = 8.22
