Example Question #21 :Finding Roots
The product of two consecutive positive numbers is. What is the sum of the two numbers?
Letthe first number andthe second number.
The equation to sovle becomes, or.
Factoring we get, so the solution is. The problem states that the numbers are positive, so the correct numbers areand, which sum to.
Example Question #52 :Quadratic Equations And Inequalities
Two positive, consecutive odd numbers have a product of. What is their sum?
Letfirst odd number andsecond odd number. Then:
Use the distributive property and subtractfrom both sides to get.
Factoring we get.
Solving we get, so.
The problem stated that the numbers were positive so the answer becomes.
Example Question #53 :Quadratic Equations And Inequalities
Find the sum of the solutions to:
Multiply both sides of the equation by, to get
This can be factored into the form
So we must solve
and
to get the solutions.
The solutions are:
and their sum is.
Example Question #1 :Completing The Square
Find the vertex of the parabola by completing the square.
To find the vertex of a parabola, we must put the equation into the vertex form:
The vertex can then be found with the coordinates (h, k).
To put the parabola's equation into vertex form, you have to complete the square. Completing the square just means adding the same number to both sides of the equation -- which, remember, doesn't change the value of the equation -- in order to create a perfect square.
Start with the original equation:
Put all of theterms on one side:
Now we know that we have to add something to both sides in order to create a perfect square:
In this case, we need to add 4 on both sides so that the right-hand side of the equation factors neatly.
Now we factor:
Once we isolate, we have the equation in vertex form:
Thus, the parabola's vertex can be found at.
Example Question #1 :Completing The Square
Complete the square:
Begin by dividing the equation byand subtractingfrom each side:
Square the value in front of theand add to each side:
Factor the left side of the equation:
Take the square root of both sides and simplify:
