We might recognize a quadratic equation from the factoring chapter as a trinomial equation. Although, it may seem that they are the same, but they aren’t the same. Trinomial equations are equations with any three terms. These terms can be any three terms where the degree of each can vary. On the other hand, quadratic equations are equations with specific degree on each term.

Definition

A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the form π’‚π’‚π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ + 𝒃𝒃𝒂𝒂 + 𝒄𝒄 = 𝟎𝟎

Where π’‚π’‚π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ is called the leading term, 𝒃𝒃𝒂𝒂 is call the linear term, and 𝒄𝒄 is called the constant coefficient (or constant term). Additionally, 𝒂𝒂 β‰  𝟎𝟎.

SECTION 13.1: THE SQUARE ROOT PROPERTY A. SOLVE BASIC QUADRATIC EQUATIONS USING SQUAREROOT PROPERTY

Square root property

Let 𝒂𝒂 β‰₯ 𝟎𝟎 and 𝒂𝒂 β‰₯ 𝟎𝟎. Then

π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ = 𝒂𝒂 if and only if 𝒂𝒂 = Β±βˆšπ’‚π’‚ In other words,

π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ = 𝒂𝒂 if and only if 𝒂𝒂 = βˆšπ’‚π’‚ or 𝒂𝒂 = βˆ’βˆšπ’‚π’‚

Consider: 52= ________________ and (βˆ’5)2 = ________________________

When we clear an even exponent, we have ________________________________________________.

Example: Solve.

YOU TRY

Solve. a) (π‘₯π‘₯ + 4)2 = 25

b) (6π‘₯π‘₯ βˆ’ 9)2 = 45

Chapter 13

358

B. ISOLATE THE SQUARED TERM Let’s look at examples where the leading term, or squared term, is not isolated. Recall, the squared term must be isolated to apply the square root property.

MEDIA LESSON Solve equations using square root property – Isolating the squared term 1st (Duration 5:00)

View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below

Before we can clear an exponent, it must first be _____________________________.

Example:

a) 4 βˆ’ 2(2π‘₯π‘₯ + 1)2 = βˆ’46 b) 5(3π‘₯π‘₯ βˆ’ 2)2 + 6 = 46

YOU TRY

Solve.

a) 5(3x βˆ’ 6)2 + 7 = 27

b) 5(r + 4)2 + 1 = 626

Note: When we have the other side of the equation of a squared term negative, the equation does not have a real solution. For example, the equation π‘₯π‘₯2 = βˆ’1 does not have a real solution. There is a complex solution for this equation but we will not discuss it in this class.

Example: Solve

2𝑛𝑛2 + 5 = 4 2𝑛𝑛2 = 4 βˆ’ 5 2𝑛𝑛2 = βˆ’1

𝑛𝑛2 = βˆ’12

This equation does not have a real solution.

C. USE THE PERFECT SQUARE FORMULA In order for us to be able to apply the square root property to solve a quadratic equation, we cannot have the π‘₯π‘₯ term in the middle because if we apply the square root property to the π‘₯π‘₯ term, we will make the equation more complicated to solve. However sometimes, we have special cases that we can apply the perfect square formula to get rid of the π‘₯π‘₯ term in the middle and then apply the square root property to solve the equations. Recall: Perfect square formula π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ + πŸπŸπ’‚π’‚π’ƒπ’ƒ+ π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸ = (𝒂𝒂 + 𝒃𝒃)𝟐𝟐 or π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ βˆ’ πŸπŸπ’‚π’‚π’ƒπ’ƒ + π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸ = (𝒂𝒂 βˆ’ 𝒃𝒃)𝟐𝟐

SECTION 13.2: COMPLETING THE SQUARE

When solving quadratic equations previously (then known as trinomial equations), we factored to solve. However, recall, not all equations are factorable. Consider the equation π‘₯π‘₯2 βˆ’ 2π‘₯π‘₯ βˆ’ 7 = 0. This equation is not factorable, but there are two solutions to this equation: 1 + √2 and 1 βˆ’ √2. Looking at the form of these solutions, we obtained these types of solutions in the previous section while using the square root property. If we can obtain a perfect square, then we can apply the square root property and solve as usual. This method we use to obtain a perfect square is called completing the square.

Recall. Special product formulas for perfect square trinomials:

(𝒂𝒂 + 𝒃𝒃)𝟐𝟐 = π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ + πŸπŸπ’‚π’‚π’ƒπ’ƒ + π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸ 𝒐𝒐𝒐𝒐 (𝒂𝒂 βˆ’ 𝒃𝒃)𝟐𝟐 = π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ βˆ’ πŸπŸπ’‚π’‚π’ƒπ’ƒ + π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸ

We use these formulas to help us solve by completing the square.

A. COMPLETE THE SQUARE We first begin with completing the square and rewriting the trinomial in factored form using the perfect square trinomial formulas.

MEDIA LESSON Complete the square (Duration 5:00)

View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below

Complete the square. Find 𝒄𝒄.

π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ + πŸπŸπ’‚π’‚π’ƒπ’ƒ + π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸ is easily factored to ________________________________

To make π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ + 𝒃𝒃𝒂𝒂+ 𝒄𝒄 a perfect square, 𝒄𝒄 = ___________________

Example:

a) π‘₯π‘₯2 + 10π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐

b) π‘₯π‘₯2 βˆ’ 7π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐

c) π‘₯π‘₯2 βˆ’ 37π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐 d) π‘₯π‘₯2 + 6

5π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐

Chapter 13

362

Note

To complete the square of any trinomial, we always square half of the linear term’s coefficient, i.e.,

οΏ½π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸοΏ½πŸπŸ

𝒐𝒐𝒐𝒐 οΏ½πŸπŸπŸπŸπ’ƒπ’ƒοΏ½

𝟐𝟐

We usually use the second expression when the middle term’s coefficient is a fraction.

a) π‘₯π‘₯2 + 8π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐

b) π‘₯π‘₯2 βˆ’ 7π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐

c) π‘₯π‘₯2 + 53π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐

B. SOLVE QUADRATIC EQUATIONS BY COMPLETING THE SQUARE, a = 1

Steps to solving quadratic equations by completing the square

Given a quadratic equation π’‚π’‚π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ + 𝒃𝒃𝒂𝒂 + 𝒄𝒄 = 𝟎𝟎, we can use the following method to solve for 𝒂𝒂.

Step 1. Rewrite the quadratic equation so that the coefficient of the leading term is one, and the original constant coefficient is on the opposite side of the equal sign from the leading and linear terms. π’‚π’‚π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ + 𝒃𝒃𝒂𝒂 __________ = 𝒄𝒄 + _____________

Step 2. If 𝒂𝒂 β‰  𝟏𝟏, divide both sides of the equation by 𝒂𝒂

Step 3. Complete the square, i.e., οΏ½π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸοΏ½πŸπŸπ‘œπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘Ÿ �𝟏𝟏

πŸπŸπ’ƒπ’ƒοΏ½

𝟐𝟐 and add the result to both sides of the quadratic

equation. Step 4. Rewrite the perfect square trinomial in factored form. Step 5. Solve using the square root property. Step 6. Verify the solution(s).

SECTION 13.3: QUADRATIC FORMULA The quadratic formula is derived from the method of completing the square. If we took a general quadratic equation

π‘Žπ‘Žπ‘₯π‘₯2 + 𝑏𝑏π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐 = 0

and solved for π‘₯π‘₯ by completing the square, we would obtain the quadratic formula. Let’s try this.

MEDIA LESSON Deriving the Quadratic Formula (Duration 4:04)

Quadratic formula

Given the quadratic equation π‘Žπ‘Žπ‘₯π‘₯2 + 𝑏𝑏π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐 = 0. Then

π‘₯π‘₯ =βˆ’π‘π‘ Β± βˆšπ‘π‘2 βˆ’ 4π‘Žπ‘Žπ‘π‘

2π‘Žπ‘Ž

is called the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is a formula for solving quadratic equations in terms of the coefficients.

A. DETERMINANT OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION To make the quadratic formula easier to manage, we should calculate the discriminant first. Then substitute it into the quadratic formula to find π‘₯π‘₯.

Discriminant

Given the quadratic equation π‘Žπ‘Žπ‘₯π‘₯2 + 𝑏𝑏π‘₯π‘₯ + 𝑐𝑐 = 0, then its discriminant, denoted as the upper-case

Greek letter delta, Ξ”, is defined as 𝚫𝚫 = π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸ βˆ’ πŸ’πŸ’π’‚π’‚π’„π’„

√𝚫𝚫 = οΏ½π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸ βˆ’ πŸ’πŸ’π’‚π’‚π’„π’„

Quadratic formula:

𝒂𝒂 =βˆ’π’ƒπ’ƒ Β± √𝚫𝚫

πŸπŸπ’‚π’‚

Case 1: If Ξ” is positive, the equation has 2 solutions.

Case 2: If Ξ” is zero, the equation has 1 solution.

Case 3: If Ξ” is negative, the equation has no real solution. (The equation has two complex solutions

but we will not discuss complex numbers in this class).

SECTION 13.4: APPLICATIONS WITH QUADRATIC EQUATIONS There are many applications involving quadratic equations that it is almost challenging to pick the few equations to discuss for this section. Yet, we only choose a few applications that are common in most algebra classes. We start with the very famous Pythagorean Theorem.

A. PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM A long time ago, a Greek mathematician named Pythagoras discovered an interesting property about right triangles: the sum of the squares of the lengths of each of the triangle’s legs is the same as the square of the length of the triangle’s hypotenuse. This property- which has many applications in science, art, engineering, and architecture – is now called the Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem

If 𝒂𝒂 and 𝒃𝒃 are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle and 𝒄𝒄 is the length of the hypotenuse, then the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse:

(𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒇𝒇 𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍)𝟐𝟐 + (𝒇𝒇𝒍𝒍𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔 𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍𝒍)𝟐𝟐 = (𝒉𝒉𝒉𝒉𝒉𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒍𝒍𝒔𝒔𝒉𝒉𝒇𝒇𝒍𝒍)𝟐𝟐

π’‚π’‚πŸπŸ + π’ƒπ’ƒπŸπŸ = π’„π’„πŸπŸ

View the video lesson, take notes and complete the problems below

Example:

You launch a toy rocket from a height of 5 feet. The height (h, in feet) of the rocket 𝑑𝑑 seconds after taking off is given by the formula β„Ž = βˆ’3𝑑𝑑2 + 14𝑑𝑑 + 5.

a) How long will it take for the rocket to hit the ground? b) Find the time when the rocket is 5 feet from hitting the ground.

Chapter 13

374

YOU TRY

a) A rocket is launched at 𝑑𝑑 = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, is given by the equation β„Ž = βˆ’4.9𝑑𝑑2 + 52𝑑𝑑 + 367

At what time does the rocket hit the ground? (Round answer to 2 decimal places.) Note: With applications, such as these, it doesn’t make sense to leave an exact answer, but better to

approximate. It is common language to say the rocket would hit the ground in decimal form.

C. COST AND REVENUE

Cost and Revenue

The cost refers to the amount of money the manufacturer should pay to produce a commodity. The revenue refers to the amount of money the consumer (or customer) pays for a commodity. Note, profit and revenue are often confused for one another. Be careful and note that revenue is the money β€œin the register” and profit is money after all costs are paid.
