Answer:

Procedure:

1) Form a system of 3 linear equations based on the two zeroes and a point.

2) Solve the resulting system by analytical methods.

3) Substitute all coefficients.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function is a polynomial of the form:

y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c (1)

Where:

x - Independent variable.

y - Dependent variable.

a, b, c - Coefficients.

A value of x is a zero of the quadratic function if and only if y = 0. By Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, quadratic functions with real coefficients may have two real solutions. We know the following three points: A(x,y) = (r_{1}, 0), B(x,y) = (r_{2},0) and C(x,y) = (x,y)

Based on such information, we form the following system of linear equations:

a\cdot r_{1}^{2}+b\cdot r_{1} + c = 0 (2)

a\cdot r_{2}^{2}+b\cdot r_{2} + c = 0 (3)

a\cdot x^{2} + b\cdot x + c = y (4)

There are several forms of solving the system of equations. We decide to solve for all coefficients by determinants:

a = \frac{\left|\begin{array}{ccc}0&r_{1}&1\\0&r_{2}&1\\y&x&1\end{array}\right| }{\left|\begin{array}{ccc}r_{1}^{2}&r_{1}&1\\r_{2}^{2}&r_{2}&1\\x^{2}&x&1\end{array}\right| }

a = \frac{y\cdot r_{1}-y\cdot r_{2}}{r_{1}^{2}\cdot r_{2}+r_{2}^{2}\cdot x+x^{2}\cdot r_{1}-x^{2}\cdot r_{2}-r_{2}^{2}\cdot r_{1}-r_{1}^{2}\cdot x}

a = \frac{y\cdot (r_{1}-r_{2})}{r_{1}^{2}\cdot r_{2}+r_{2}^{2}\cdot x +x^{2}\cdot r_{1}-x^{2}\cdot r_{2}-r_{2}^{2}\cdot r_{1}-r_{1}^{2}\cdot x}

b = \frac{\left|\begin{array}{ccc}r_{1}^{2}&0&1\\r_{2}^{2}&0&1\\x^{2}&y&1\end{array}\right| }{\left|\begin{array}{ccc}r_{1}^{2}&r_{1}&1\\r_{2}^{2}&r_{2}&1\\x^{2}&x&1\end{array}\right| }

b = \frac{(r_{2}^{2}-r_{1}^{2})\cdot y}{r_{1}^{2}\cdot r_{2}+r_{2}^{2}\cdot x +x^{2}\cdot r_{1}-x^{2}\cdot r_{2}-r_{2}^{2}\cdot r_{1}-r_{1}^{2}\cdot x}

c = \frac{\left|\begin{array}{ccc}r_{1}^{2}&r_{1}&0\\r_{2}^{2}&r_{2}&0\\x^{2}&x&y\end{array}\right| }{\left|\begin{array}{ccc}r_{1}^{2}&r_{1}&1\\r_{2}^{2}&r_{2}&1\\x^{2}&x&1\end{array}\right| }

c = \frac{(r_{1}^{2}\cdot r_{2}-r_{2}^{2}\cdot r_{1})\cdot y}{r_{1}^{2}\cdot r_{2}+r_{2}^{2}\cdot x + x^{2}\cdot r_{1}-x^{2}\cdot r_{2}-r_{2}^{2}\cdot r_{1}-r_{1}^{2}\cdot x}

And finally we obtain the equation of the quadratic function given two zeroes and a point.

The area of the house is the amount of space on the house.

  • The length of the addition is x + 20
  • The area of the original house is x^2 + 30x + 200

<h3>The length of the addition</h3>

The area of the addition is given as:

Area = x^2 + 10x - 200

Expand

Area = x^2 + 20x - 10x - 200

Factorize

Area = x(x + 20) - 10(x + 20)

Factor out x + 20

Area = (x -10)(x + 20)

The width of the addition is x - 10.

Hence, the length of the addition is x + 20

<h3>The area of the original house</h3>

The dimension of the original house is

x + 20 by x + 10

So, the area is:

Area =(x + 20)(x + 10)

Expand

Area =x^2 + 20x + 10x + 200

This gives

Area =x^2 + 30x + 200

Hence, the area of the original house is x^2 + 30x + 200
