Learning Task 2

1. the given problem, you need to apply your knowledge

and skills in alegbra and basic math especially in identify
unknown variables.
Let:
x is the smaller number
y is the other number
Step 1: Create equation based from the Statement
given.
"sum of two positive integers is 35"
→ x + y = 35
Step 2: Analyse
The posible numbers can be 1 and 34, 2 and 33 and so on..
let x = 1 and y = 34
x² + y² → 1² + 34² = 1156
Let x = 17 and y = 18
x² + y² → 17² + 18² = 613
Therefore, the minimum is 613.
Final Answer: 613
624 sq cm
Explanation:
We know the perimeter of rectangle = 2*(length + width) unit.
Here 2*(length + width) = 100 cm
So, length + width = 100/2 = 50 cm
In rectangle length is always bigger than width.
By assuming, If length & width equals, it becomes square and area is
the biggest i.e. 25 * 25 = 625 sq cm.
But, length will be bigger. Hence greatest possible area of this
rectangle will be if length is 26 cm and width is 24 cm. So area will be
26*24 = 624 sq cm.

Introduction
A table and a graph can both be used to show solutions to a quadratic equation.

The graph and table below show points for the quadratic function
y = x2− x − 6.y = x2- x - 6.

Both representations of a quadratic equation can be used to find the solution.

The solutions to quadratic equations are called roots. Roots are the x-intercepts (zeros ) of a quadratic
function.

For every quadratic equation, there is a related quadratic function. For example, if you are given the
quadratic equation

x2 + 5x + 4 = 0x2 + 5x + 4 = 0,
the related quadratic function is

f(x) = x2 + 5x + 4.f(x) = x2 + 5x + 4.
A quadratic equation may have two solutions, one solution, or no solution.

Answer the following questions about quadratic equations and functions.

Using Tables to Represent Solutions

A table of values can be generated from a quadratic function by substituting the x-values and calculating
the values for f(x).

When looking at a table of values for a quadratic function, the x-intercepts represent the x-values
where y = 0. This corresponds to the x-values where f(x) is 0 in function notation.

Substitution can be used to verify the solutions to the function

f(x)=x2−x−6f(x)=x2-x-6.
Using Tables to Estimate Solutions
Sometimes when you have a table of values for a function, the solutions to the related equation are not
obvious. For example, consider the function

y = x2 − 2y = x2 - 2
and its related equation

x2 − 2 = 0x2 - 2 = 0.
The table below displays the relationship from the equation.
If you want to solve the related equation

x2 − 2 = 0x2 - 2 = 0
from this table, there are no y-values equal to 0 to use. In this case, we must estimate where
the zeros are from the table.

Click on the image below to view a video on estimating the zeros of a quadratic function when given a
table. As you watch, think about how you can use the table above to estimate the solutions to the
equation

x2 − 2 = 0.x2 - 2 = 0.
Summary
You have investigated different ways to determine the solutions to quadratic equations using tables of
values.

In doing so, you also compared functions to their related equations.

In a table of values, solutions to related equations can be found by locating rows containing ordered pairs
where the function value, or y-value, is equal to 0. In some cases, the solution must be estimated.
