3. Express as a quadratic equation in standard form and list the restrictions.

2x 2x - x 1 2x 2x - 2x +1x 1 2x (x 1) (2x +1)(x 1) 2x (2x + 1) - x- 1 x - 1 =5 x-1 = 5 x1 = 5(x-1) x1

- (x- 1 ) (x-1)(x + 1) - (x-1) (x-1) (x+ 1)(x -1) =5

- (x 1 ) (x + 1)

Taking the L.C.D on both sides we will get 2x ( x + 1) (x-1)(2x +1) (2x +1)(x + 1) 2x + 2x 2x x +2x +1 (2x +1)(x + 1) 3x + 1 (2x +1)(x + 1) = 5 =5 =5

3x + 1 = 5{(2x +1)(x + 1)} 3x + 1 = 10x + 15x + 5 Or 10x +12x +4 =0 The equation is 10x +12x +4 = 0 with a0 and also x 1

4. solve for x

So the equation have discriminant negative D<0 will give imaginary roots. Hence the values of x are = -15/2

7. The trajectory of a projectile is described by the function h = -5t +140t, where h is the height above the ground in meters and t is the time in seconds .find a) the time required by the projectile to reach the maximum height, b) the maximum height reached, and c) the height above the ground after 7.5 seconds Answers a) The time required by the projectile to reach the maximum height, For finding the height and the time when the projectile gain the maximum height, We will take the derivative of the equation function h = -5t +140t function h = -5t +140t

b) the maximum height reached, and For calculating the maximum height we need to put the value of t = 14 sec into the original equation. h = -5t +140t h = -5*(14) +140*14 h = 980 m

c) the height above the ground after 7.5 seconds h = -5t +140t

Put t = 7.5 seconds H = - 5 (7.5)+ 140*7.5 = -281.25 + 1050 = 768.75 meters

8. The sum of the zeros of the quadratic equation ax+bx+c = y is 4/5 and the product is 1/3.find the value of a, b and c when we know that the graph passes through (1, 1) The equation given to us is ax+bx+c = y, As we know sum of the zeros of the equation is b/a = -4/5 Or we can say that b = 4/5a ----------- (i) And product of the roots is c/a = 1/3 Or we can say that c = 1/3a ----------- (ii) We are also given that (1, 1) passes through the line ax+bx+c = y Let us put (x, y) = (1, 1) So a + b +c=1 Now put the value of b and c into the equation, we will get 4/5a+1/3a + a = 1 32/15 a = 1 So a = 15/32 Put the value of a into the (i) equation we will get We write b= 4/5a B = (4/5 )* (15/32) = 3/8

Put the value of a into the (ii) equation we will get We write c = 1/3a C = 1/3*(15/32) = 5/32

9.

For what values of k do the equation has no solution? We are given the first equation as (2x 1) (x + 3) = y

2x + 6x x -3 = y 2x +5x = y+3 The second equation given as -5x +17x = y +k (i) (ii)

Now as we are given that they have no solution so we can write the coefficients of the equations

So we will put the values into the equation as 2/-5 = 5/17 (y-3)/(y-k)

10. Solve the quadratic inequality 8x -10x - 3 0, showing the use of sign chart method, sketch the graph also 8x -10x - 3 0 We will solve it like any other quadratic equation 8x -12x +2x 3 0 4x (2x 3) +1(2x -3) 0 (4x +1)(2x-3) 0 The quotient is negative or zero. So, (4x +1) = 0, X= -1/4 (2x-3) =0, x =3/2 The critical values are -1/4 and 3/2 To check the range the x with the given values we will write it on the sign chart

This shows that x range is -1/4 x 3/2 For graphing 8x -10x 3
