Exercises 1 Any quadratic quadratic equation can be written in standard form. ax2+bx+c=0​​ In this form a, b, and c are real numbers, and a​=0. We can solve this general equation by completing the square. ax2+bx+c=0​↓Solve by completing the square​↓x=2a-b±b2−4ac​​​​ This gives a general result that can be used to solve any quadratic equation by just imputing the values of the parameters a, b, and c.

Let's look at the formula for the discriminant and substitute our values. d↓d​==​b2↓(-5)2​−−​4↓4​⋅⋅​a↓2​⋅⋅​c↓-9​ We can compute the discriminant and get d=97. Since that is greater than zero, the quadratic will have two real solutions. Therefore, our friend is correct.
Exercises 50 In this exercise, we are given an equation with two variables and a situation about a tent. The question asks if it's possible for a person 4 feet could stand in the tent. Let's have a look at the curve.window.JXQ = window.JXQ || []; window.JXQtable = window.JXQtable || {}; if(!window.JXQtable["Solution21538_1_601660406_l"]) { window.JXQ.push( function () { var code = function (gid) { var images = []; try { /*board elements*/ var b=mlg.board([-0.5,4.5,9.5,-0.5],{"desktopSize":"medium","style":"usa"});/*default display*/ b.func("-0.18*x^2+1.6*x"); b.func("4");/*axes*/ b.xaxis(10,9); b.yaxis(10,9);} catch( e ) { mw.hook("ml.error.report").fire(e, { tags: { module: "jsxg", graph: "Solution21538_1_601660406_l" } }); console.error(e); } if(b) {b.board.update()} }; mw.loader.using('ext.MLJSXGraph', function() { window.ml.jsxgraph.buildRealGraph("Solution21538_1_601660406_l", "Solution21538_1_601660406_p", 1, code); }); } ); } window.JXQtable["Solution21538_1_601660406_l"] = true;The line above the curve is at y=4 and we can see by the picture the tent lies completely below it. But to solve this without a picture, we only need to determine if the discriminant is greater than or equal to zero when the height of the arc is 4 feet. Let's substitute y=4, put the equation in standard form, then find the discriminant. y=−0.18x2+1.6xy=44=−0.18x2+1.6xLHS−4=RHS−40=−0.18x2+1.6x−4Rearrange equation−0.18x2+1.6x−4=0 With the equation in standard form, we have a=-0.18, b=1.6, and c=-4. Let's substitute those into the discriminat formla and compute. d=b2−4acSubstitute valuesd=1.62−4(-0.18)(-4)Calculate power and productd=2.56−2.88Add and subtract termsd=-0.32 Since the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions. Therefore, we can say that a 4 foot child could not stand up in the tent.
