1. Solve 15x = 2x2 + 16
Put everything on one side of the equation, then use the quadratic formula:
15x = 2x2 + 16
0 = 2x2 - 15x + 16
x = 15 ±√(152 - 4(2)(16))
2(2)
x = 15 ±√97
4
x = 1.29, 6.21
2. The width is 7 feet less than the length; the area is 18 square feet. Find the length and width.
Let x be the length of the flowerbed. Then, x - 7 would be the width. Since, area is equal to length x width, we have the following equation:
(x)(x - 7) = 18
Multiply, put everything on one side of the equation, then factor to solve for x:
(x)(x - 7) = 18
x2 - 7x = 18
x2 - 7x -18 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 2) = 0
x = 9, -2
The only possible answer for x is x = 9 (a length can't be negative). Therefore, the sides are 9 and 2.
3. Solve x2 + 4x - 12 < 0
x2 + 4x - 12 < 0
(x + 6)(x - 2) < 0
This happens when x is between -6 and 2. In solution set notation, this is {x | -6 < x < 2}; in interval notation, this is (-6, 2). ...
