FINDING THE ROOTS OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION

Problem:

The sum of the square of a number and 15 is the same as eight times the

number. What are the numbers?

What To Do

Solution:

Step 1: Use a variable to represent the  unknown.

Let x be the number. Translate into a mathematical  equation.

[tex]x^{2}+15=8x[/tex]  

Step 2: Place polynomial on one side and  set equation to zero by Additive Inverse Property

[tex]x^{2}+15 – 8x =8x-8x\\[/tex]

Write the resulting equation

[tex]x^{2}+15-8x=0[/tex]

Step 3: Arrange the terms in descending order of its exponents.

[tex]x^{2} -8x+15=0[/tex]

Step 4: Factor the polynomial. Apply the Zero Property.

[tex](x-3)(x-5)=0[/tex]

Step 5: Solve for the unknown by using Additive Inverse Property.

For x-3=0:

[tex]x-3 =0\\x-3+3=+3\\x=3[/tex]

For x-5=0:

[tex]x-5 =0\\x-5+5=+5\\x=5[/tex]  

Step 6: Write the resulting equation.

[tex]x=3 \\and\\x=5[/tex]  

Final Statement: The numbers are​ 3 and 5.

REMEMBER: Since the degree of a quadratic equation is 2, this implies that the maximum number of roots it has is 2. However, not both roots of a quadratic equation satisfies it. This root is called an extraneous root.
