Using correct methods to solve quadratic equations can make math an interesting task. In the paper below I will square the coefficient of the x term, yield composite numbers, move a constant term and see if prime numbers occur. I will use the text and the correct formulas to create the proper solutions of the two projects that are required and solve for the equations… In project one, I will move the constant term to the right side of the equation and square the coefficient of the original x term and add it to both sides of the equation. Solve for project one:
Part A
X2 – 2x – 13 = 0.
4x*4 + 8 = 52
4x*4 + 8 +16 = 52 + 16
4x*4 + 8 + 16 = 68
2x + 4 = 12 2x + 12 + -12
2x = 4 2x = -6
X = 2 x = -3
Part C.
X2 + 12x – 64 + 0
4xsquared + 12x = 64 – 4 squared
16 + 48 = 64 – 16
64 = 48 + 4x squared
In project two, I will substitute numbers for x to see if prime numbers occur and then try to find a number for x when substituted in the formula, yields a composite number. Project 2, Part A.
X2 – x + 41
8 x 8 + 41= 105 not a prime number
3 x 3 + 41 = 50 not a prime number
7 x 7 + 41 = 90 not a prime number
2 x 2 + 41 = 46 not a prime number
6 x 6 + 41 = 87 Prime number
In the work of this paper I was able to move the coefficient, yield composite numbers, move a constant term and see if prime numbers occur. I used the correct formulas and created the right solution for the two projects that I was required to do. Also, while doing these projects I learned about coefficients and quadratic equations and was able to understand math a little better. As far as applying this knowledge of math, I cannot come up with a situation where it will be used. I believe that one day it will be used during my life, but I just have not recognized when and where it will happen.
The Term Paper on Gordon Brown Is Not An Able British Prime Minister
The British history has been famous for its efficient governance, and developmental policies of the government. Both the Conservative and the Labour Parties have contributed to the economic prosperity of the country through enlightening vision, strategic planning, and effective implementation of its policies. During the past centuries, Great Britain has provided one of the best healthcare systems ...
