Socratic Discussion: Today were going to start talking about really why quadratic equal to 0? In other words, the
equation is one of the most important, if not the most important equation? You zero property. (To prevent
would have thought that scientists and physicists work with really complicated dividing by zero)
equations - dealing with 3,4,5 dimension matrices. However, that is usually not the
case! Scientists and physicists use quadratic equations to model, for instance how -What is the general graph of
long the planes would take to get from one place to another, predict the trajectory of parabola? Well, parabola is, in
an object, etcetera. other words, quadratic.
Alright so today we will do some quadratic equation word problems.
What are like terms? How can
Model example 1: When I work with word problems, I find it a lot easier to see the we identify like terms in a
problem by drawing the figure. In the first problem we are given a square. Since we given polynomial?
do not know its side length, we can label its sides with (x)
What other information are we given in problem 1? When there is a negative in
The area of a square with its side length = x is just x^2, and that is equal to twice its front of the polynomial, as
perimeter which is 2( 4x). Now we can start solving for x there is in subtraction, what
happens to the signs on all the
Note that we have two answers, this is where we need to use our math knowledge terms as we subtract?
to to say which one of the answers makes sense. When were talking about the area,
distance, volume, etcetera Can we have negative numbers for our solution? What if a term does not line
up? (like in try it c.) How do we
Model example 2: Call on a student to read the problem. Alright, this problem is determine what to do with the
straightforward. First, let me define the variable - let x be a number. How do I write term?
the square of a number equals nine times that number?
Now that we have an equation, I would like everyone to solve for it I will give you -In order to completely factor
