Answer: If the quadratic equation has real, rational solutions, the quickest way to solve it is often to factorise into the form (px + q)(mx + n), where m, n, p and q are integers. This is especially true where the coefficient of x2 is 1.

Example 1 - Solve x2+7x+12=0

$\bf \textit{difference of squares}

(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
\\\\\\
\textit{also recall that }i^2=-1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
x=-1+4i\implies &x+1-4i=0\\
x=-1-4i\implies &x+1+4i=0
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(x+1-4i)(x+1+4i)=\stackrel{y}{0}
\\\\\\\
[(x+1)~~-~~(4i)][(x+1)~~+~~(4i)]=y
\\\\\\\
[(x+1)^2~~-~~(4i)^2]=0\implies (x^2+2x+1)~-~(4^2i^2)=y
\\\\\\
(x^2+2x+1)~-~(16\cdot -1)=y\implies (x^2+2x+1)~-~(-16)=y
\\\\\\
x^2+2x+1~~+16=y\implies x^2+2x+17=y$

Glenda receives a salary of $4,792 bimonthly. Find Glenda’s earnings per year.

Andre45 [30]

Answer: $28,752

Explanation:

The definition of bimonthly is an event that happens once in two months. $-bi$ represents "two", while $-monthly$ represents "event that happens by month.

Given that Glenda receives a salary of $4,792 bi-monthly, we are required to find the earnings per year.

There are 12 months in each year, and if the given value is a 2-month value, then we shall divide 12 by 2 to find that there is in total 6 of the 2-month value.

$12/2=6$
