  2. 6.5Quadratic Equations

  3. Objectives • Learn the definition of quadratic equation. • Multiply two binomials using the FOIL method. • Factor trinomials. • Solve quadratic equation by factoring. • Solve quadratic equation using the quadratic formula • Use quadratic equations in applications.

  4. Multiplying Two Binomials Using FOIL Method • Binomial: has 2 terms • E.g., x + 3, 3x – 5 • FOIL Method

  5. Example • Multiply: (x + 3)(x + 4) • Solution: F: First terms = x• x = x² O: Outside terms = x • 4 = 4x I: Inside terms = 3 • x = 3x L: Last terms = 3 • 4 = 12(x + 3)(x + 4) = x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = x² + 7x + 12

  6. Factoring Trinomials • Trinomial: -- has 3 terms • Note:Factored Form F O I L Trinomial Form(x + 3)( x + 4) = x² + 4x + 3x + 12 = x² + 7x + 12 • Factoring an algebraic expression:--finding expression that is a product

  7. A Strategy for Factoring x² + bx + c

  8. Factoring a Trinomial in x² + bx + c (cont.) Factor: x² + 6x + 8. Solution: • Enter x as the first term of each factor: x² + 6x + 8 = (x )(x ) • List all pairs of Factors of constant, 8. • Try various combinations of these factors. The correct factorization is the one in which the sum of the Outside and Inside products is equal to 6x.

  9. Factoring a Trinomial in x² + bx + c (cont.) Thus, x² + 6x + 8 = (x + 4 )(x + 2 ).

  10. Example • Factor: 3x²  20x + 28 • Solution: • Factor: 3x²  20x + 28 3x²  20x + 28 = (3x )(x) • List all pairs of factors of 28. Because the middle term , 20x, is negative, both factors must be negative. The negative factorizations are: z1(28), 2(14), 4(7) • Try various combinations of these factors:

  11. Example (cont.) Thus, 3x²  20x + 28 = (3x 14 )(x 2). Step 4: Verify using the FOIL method: (3x 14)(x 2) = 3x²  6x 14x + 28 = 3x²  20x + 28.

  12. Solving a Quadratic Equation by Factoring • Rewrite (in necessary) the equation in the formax2 + bx + c = 0. • Factor. • Let each factor equal to 0. • Solve the equations in step 3. • Check the solutions in the original equation.

  13. Example • Solve: x²  2x = 35 • Solution: • x²  2x35= 0 • (x – 7)(x + 5) = 0 • Set each factor equal to zero.x– 7 = 0 or x+ 5 = 0 • Solve each equation.x = 7 x = 5 Check:7²  2· 7 = 35 (5) ² 2(5) = 35 49 14 = 35 25 +10 = 35 35 = 35 35 = 35

  14. Quadratic Formula • Given:ax2 + bx + c = 0 • Solve for x.

  15. Quadratic Formula (cont.)

  16. Quadratic Formula • Given: ax2 + bx + c = 0, with a ≠ 0 • Solution is given by the Quadratic Formula:

  17. Example Solve: 2x² + 9x – 5 = 0 Solution: a = 2, b = 9, c = 5

  18. Example • Solve 2x² = 4x + 1 • Solution:2x² 4x – 1 = 0 a= 2, b = 4 and c = 1

  19. Your Turn • Solve the following quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. • 3x2 + 2x – 3 = 0 • 4x2 – 3x = 7 • 5x2 – 1x = – 4

  20. Your Turn • Use the quadratic formula to solve the following equations: • X2 + 3x – 4 = 0 • x(x – 4) = 8 • 2x2 – 4x – 3 = 0 • 9x2 + 12x + 4 = 0

  21. Application: Blood Pressure and Age A person's normal systolic blood pressure measured in millimeters of mercury depends on his or her age – for men, according to the formula: P = 0.006A²  0.02A + 120 Find the age, to the nearest year, of a man whose systolic blood pressure is 125 mm Hg.

  22. Example (cont.) Solution: From the formula, 125 = 0.006A² – 0.02A + 120. Rewriting, we get0.006A² – 0.02A – 5 = 0z where a = 0.006, b = 0.02 and c = 5 Therefore, 31 is the approximate age for a man with a normal systolic blood pressure of 125 mm Hg.
