1.1) Solve the following quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: 𝑥2=10𝑥−23

• First, we have to rearrange it into the standard quadratic form: x −10x+23=0

• We then can use the quadratic formula 𝑥 = (−𝑏 ± √(𝑏^2 − 4𝑎𝑐)) / (2𝑎)
• We can then substitute the values into the formula
• 𝑥 = (−(−10) ± √((−10)^2 − 4(1)(−23))) / (2(1))
• 𝑥 = (10 ± √(100 + 92)) / 2
• 𝑥 = (10 ± √192) / 2
• 𝑥 = (10 ± √(64 * 3)) / 2
• 𝑥 = (10 ± 8√3) / 2
• We can simplify the equation further and get
• 𝑥 = 5 ± 4√3
• Final answer will be 𝑥 = 5 + 4√3 and 𝑥 = 5 - 4√3.

1.2) Solve this equation 𝑥(𝑥−7)−2=0 using the graphical method.

To solve this equation, we can plot the graph of the equation and first find the x-values
where the graph intersects the x-axis. These x-values will be the solutions to the equation.
To plot the graph, we can rearrange the equation to 𝑥^2 - 7𝑥 - 2 = 0. Now, let's create a
table of values by substituting different x-values into the equation and calculating the
corresponding y-values. We can start with x = -10 and increment by 1 until x = 10.

we can plot these points on a graph and draw a smooth curve passing through them. The x-
values where the curve intersects the x-axis are the solutions to the equation. From the
graph, we can see that the curve intersects the x-axis at x = -1.5 and x = 8.5. Therefore, the
solutions to the equation 𝑥(𝑥 − 7) − 2 = 0 are 𝑥 = -1.5 and 𝑥 = 8.5.

1.3) Solve the linear equation for x in the equation 𝟑𝒙𝟓−𝟐= 𝟐𝒙𝟓

• First, we need to start by isolating variable x

• To do this We must multiply both sides of the equation by the common
denominator, which is 5
• We will get 5[(3x/5) - 2] = 5[(2x/5)]
• Now we can distribute 5 to both terms on both sides of the equation:
• 3x - 10 = 2x
• Now we can move the 2x term to the left side of the equation by subtracting 2x from
both sides:
• 3x - 2x - 10 = 2x - 2x
• x - 10 = 0 (simplified further)
• Now we can isolate x by adding the value 10 to both sides of the equation
• x - 10 + 10 = 0 + 10
• x = 10 (Simplified further)
• Therefore x = 10

1.4) Solve the linear equation for x in the equation 𝒙 + 𝟏𝟑/𝒙 + 𝟔=𝟔

First, by deducting 6 from both sides of the equation, let's move the constant term (6) to the
opposite side of the equation:
x + 13/x + 6 - 6 = 6 - 6
x + 13/x = 0
By multiplying both sides of the equation by x, we may now attempt to eliminate the
fraction:
(x ) (x + 13/x) = 0 (x)
That amounts to:
x^2 + 13 = 0
In terms of x, we now have a quadratic equation. We can take 13 away from both sides to
find x
x^2 = -13
Now we can Take both sides' square roots now, both the positive and negative square roots:
x = ±√(-13)
There are no actual solutions to x in this equation since the square root of a negative
number is impossible

1.5) If Line A passes through the points (4, -5) and (3, 7). Find the slope and the equation
of any line perpendicular to line A.

You can use the formula to determine the slope (m) between two locations (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in
order to determine the slope of Line A
𝑦2 − 𝑦1
𝑥2 − 𝑥1
Values:

X1 = 4

X2 = -5

Y1 = 3

Y2 = 7
7−(−5) 12
Now we can substitute the values into the formula m= 3−4
= −1

Which is = -12, therefore slope of Line A is -12.

• Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another so this
will determine the slope of a line parallel to Line A is 1 /12's negative reciprocal.
• So, the slope of a line perpendicular to Line A is 1/12.
Now, to find the equation of the line perpendicular to Line A that passes through a specific
point, let's say the point (x, y), you can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:
Y-Y1 = m(x -x1)

• Y and x are the variables representing the coordinates of the point (x, y)
• Y1 and x1 are the coordinates of the known point on the line (4, -5)
• M will be the slope of the line perpendicular to Line A, which is 1/12
Now we can substitute the values into the formula

Y – (-5) = 1/12 (x - 4) (Multiplied by x-4)

= Y + 5 = 1/12 (x – 4)

• To put it in standard slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)

• Y = 1/12 (x−4) −5
• Now we can distribute and simplify
• Y = 1/12x − 4/12 −5
• = Y = 1/12x − 1/3 −5
• We can combine the constants Y = 1/12x − 1/3 – 15/3
• = y = 1/12x - 16/3
𝟏 𝟏𝟔
• The equation of the line perpendicular to Line A is y = 𝟏𝟐 𝒙

1.7) Solve the following equation: 2𝑥2−12𝑥−7=0 Using Graphing Method

1.8) The length of a rectangular garden is 5 feet more than its width. The area of the
garden is 84 square feet. What are the length and the width of the garden

Length (L) = x + 5
Width (W) = x
Area (A) = 84 ft²

A = LW
= 84 = (x)(x + 5)
= x² + 5x = 84
= x² + 5x - 84 = 0
= x² + 12x - 7x - 84 = 0

AZEEM SATHAR 401907116 MATH 512 ASSIGNMENT 1

= x(x + 12) - 7(x + 12) = 0

= (x + 12)(x - 7)
= x + 12 = 0
= x = -12
=x-7=0
=x=7
Therefore:
Length = 12 ft and the Width = 7 ft
A = LW
84 = (12)(7)
84 = 84

1.9) Find two consecutive odd numbers whose product is 34 more than their sum

According to the problem, their product is 34 more than their sum, so we can set up the
equation:
x(x +2) = x + x + 2 +34
= 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 = 2𝑥 + 36

= 𝑥 2 = 36
= x = 6 or x = -6. There are two sets of solutions: {6,8}, or {-6, -4}

1.10) Solve the following equation: 2𝑥2−12𝑥−7=0 Using quadratic formular

• We then can use the quadratic formula 𝑥 = (−𝑏 ± √(𝑏^2 − 4𝑎𝑐)) / (2𝑎)
• We can then substitute the values into the formula
• A=2
• B = -12
• C = -7
• We can substitute into the quadratic formula 𝑥 = (-(-12) ± √((-12)² - 4 * 2 * (-7))) / (2
* 2)
• 𝑥 = (12 ± √(144 + 56)) / 4
• 𝑥 = (12 ± √200) / 4 simplified further
• Now we can simplify the square root
• 𝑥 = (12 ± √(4 * 50)) / 4
• 𝑥 = (12 ± 2√50) / 4
• Final Solution will be
