Quadratic Equations Simultaneous

Solving Quadratic Equations

Let's have a look at how we solve a quadratic equation:

x²-3x+2=0

The easiest way to solve them is to follow certain steps:

Step 1

Find two numbers where when they are multiplied together equal the firstnumber (a=1) multiplied by the third number (c=2). These two numbers when addedto each other must also equal the second number (b=-3).

In the above example, the solution is -2 and -1.
We can see that when added together the result is -3 and that when multiplied together, the result is 2

Step 2

Rewrite the original equation splitting the middle part into two using thenumbers which you found in step 1.

x²-x-2x+2=0

Step 3

Start to factorise both halves of the equation:

x(x-1)-2(x-1)=0

At this point you will know if you are going along the correct track if thefirst bracket is the same as the second bracket.

Step 4

Collect everything before each bracket and put it into one bracket andmultiply this bracket by that which is inside the identical brackets:

(x-1)(x-2)=0

Step 5

In order for the left side of the equation to be equal to 0, one of the twobrackets must equal 0. So either:

a.
x-1=0
x=1

b
x-2=0
x=2

Step 6

Check these answers:

1²-(3*1)+2=0
1-3+2=0
0=0

2²-(3*2)+2=0
4-6+2=0
0=0

Therefore the possible solutions for the above equation are confirmed to be 1 and 2

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

COMMON TESTS ARE OHHH-VAHHH. Now I have chinsese to study for. Wah I love my cell. Thank God for Jaron Lim hahaha! Always helping me out (: (: I owe you a cookie. Or rather a whole truckload of cookies. I just did my March study schedule ohhgee I don't know how, but I'm going to complete it. ---------------------------------------------------------- MARCH ( 2 months to mid-years) A math Week 1 : Simultaneous Equations, Surds, Indices and Logs Week 2: Quadratic Equations and Inequalities, Pol

Graphical Solution of Equations

Graphical Solution of Equations February 22nd, 2008 There are many ways to solve a mathematical equation. However, there are some equations that would be harder to solve through the conventional mathematical approach using, for example, factorisation, quadratic formula or completing-the-square method. To solve equation like 1 - x + 6 sin x = 0 would be almost impossible with the above stated methods. Graphical technique to solve these sort of maths equations will be the better optio

Course outline

Natl Math Panel: increase algebra in 8th grade

All school districts should ensure that all prepared students have access to an authentic algebra course—and should prepare more students than at present to enroll in such a course by Grade 8. The word authentic is used here as a descriptor of a course that addresses algebra consistently with the Major Topics of School Algebra (Table 1, page 16). Students must be prepared with the mathematical prerequisites for this course according to the Critical Foundations of Algebra (page 17) and the Benchm

For those who wanted specifics from NMAP

This document has it for algebra. http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/mathpanel/report/conceptual-knowledge.doc The exec summary says this: What is usually called Algebra I would, in most cases, cover the topics in Symbols and Expressions, and Linear Equations, and at least the first two topics in Quadratic Equations. The typical Algebra II course would cover the other topics, although the last topic in Functions (Fitting Simple Mathematical Models to Data), the last two topics in Algebra of

Vedic Math Ancient Sutras - Basic Mental Math

Author: Sherry Smith The latest research in Vedic Math suggests that there are sixteen ancient Vedic Sutras which have been expanded upon by an additional thirteen sub-Sutras or math corollaries. A brief discussion on each of these is in order. The 16 Vedic Math Sutras as applicable to mathematics: 1. "Ekadhikena Purvena" (By one more than the previous one) The working of the Sutra is quite simple. In the case of the vulgar fraction 1/19 whose denominator ends with 9, in the normal method 18
