2 2.1 Linear Equations and Problem Solving (Page 2 of 40) Mathematical Modeling With Linear Equations The process of translating phrases or sentences into algebraic expressions or equations is called mathematical modeling. A mathematical model is an equation describing a real-life situation. One method of modeling involves two stages: (1) Use the verbal statement of the problem to form a verbal model of the problem; (2) Assign variables to quantities and form the mathematical model (equation). Verbal Description Verbal Model Mathematical Model (equation) Example 1 Using a Verbal Model You accept a job for which the annual salary will be $32,300. This salary includes a year-end bonus of $500. You will be paid twice a month. What will be your gross pay (before taxes) of each paycheck? Example 2 Find the Percent of a Raise You accepted a job that pays $8 an hour. You are told that after a two-month probationary period, you wage will increase to $9 per hour. What percent raise will you earn after the probationary period?

What percent of your total family income are your total monthly expenses? Example 4 Dimensions of a Room A rectangular kitchen is twice as long as it is wide, and its perimeter is 84 feet. Find the dimensions of the kitchen. Example 5 A Distance Problem A plane is flying non-stop from Atlanta to Portland, a distance of 2700 miles. After 1.5 hours in the air, the plane flies over Kansas city (a distance of 820 miles from Atlanta). Estimate the time it will take the plane to fly from Atlanta to Portland.

Then you measure the shadow cast by a 4-foot post and find it to be 6 inches long. Estimate the height of the building. Example 7 Simple Interest, I = Prt You invest a total of $10,000 at 4.5% and 5.5% interest. During one year the two accounts earned $ How much did you invest in each account?

The profit on a single-disc player is 22% and the profit on the multi-disc player is 40%. The profit for the entire stock is 35%. How much was invested in each type of DVD player? Example 9 Using a Formula A cylindrical can has a volume of 200 cubic centimeters and a radius of 4 centimeters. Find the height of the can. The volume of a cylinder is V = πr 2 h. See Common Formulas on page 170.

To find the x-intercepts, set y = 0 and solve for x. 2. A y-intercept is an ordered pair in the form (0, y). To find the y-intercepts, set x = 0 and solve for y. Example 1 Find the Intercepts Find the x- and y-intercepts in the graph of 2x + 5y = 10. The Zeros of a Function The zeros of a function f are the x-values for which f (x) = 0.

10 2.3 Complex Numbers (Page 10 of 40) 2.3 Complex Numbers So far we have said the equation x 2 = 1 has no real solutions. However, by introducing complex numbers, we can solve such equations. The Imaginary Unit i The imaginary unit, written i, is the number whose square is 1. That is, i 2 = 1 or i = 1 Complex Number a + bi A complex number in standard form is written a + bi, where a and b are real numbers. If b = 0, then a + bi = a is a real number. If b 0, then a + bi is an imaginary number. If a = 0 and b 0, then a + bi = bi is called a pure imaginary number. Complex Number 2 + 5i i 5 i 2 Real Part a Complex Part bi Real, Imaginary, or Pure Imaginary Example 1 Add & Subtract Complex Numbers a. (4 + 7i) + (1 6i) b. (1+ 2i) (4 + 2i)

(3+ 4i)(3 4i) Complex Conjugates and Their Product The numbers a + bi and a bi are complex conjugates of each other. The product of a complex number and its conjugate is a real number, that is, (a + bi)(a bi) = a 2 + b 2 Example 3 Multiply Complex Conjugate Multiply each complex number by its conjugate. a. 3+ i b. 3 4i Example 4 Simplify a Quotient 3 4i Simplify 4 2i. Fact: A quotient is not simplified until the denominator is a real number.

12 2.3 Complex Numbers (Page 12 of 40) Square Root of a Negative Number If a is a positive real number, then a = i a For example: 4 = 1 4 = i 4 = 2i. Example 5 Simplify each complex number and write in a + bi form ( 2 + 3) i 3 + i 2 6. ( 2i) 3

13 2.4 Solving Equations Algebraically (Page 13 of 40) 2.4 Solving Quadratic Equations Algebraically A quadratic equation in general form is a second-degree polynomial equation written in the form ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a 0. Furthermore, ax 2 is called the quadratic term, bx is the linear term and c is the constant term. The methods we study to solve quadratic equations are factoring, extracting square roots, completing the square, and using the Quadratic Formula. The factoring method requires the Zero-Factor Property: If ab = 0, then a = 0 or b = 0. Example 1 Solve a Quadratic Equation by Factoring a. Solve and check 2x 2 + 9x + 7 = 3 b. Solve and check 6x 2 3x = 0

14 2.4 Solving Equations Algebraically (Page 14 of 40) Extracting Square Roots The equation u 2 = d, where d > 0, has exactly two solutions: u = d and u = d Example 2 Extracting Square Roots a. Solve 4x 2 = 12 b. Solve 9(x 3) 2 = 28 Completing The Square To complete the square on the expression x 2 + bx, add (b / 2) 2, that is add the square of half the linear coefficient. Then, x 2 + bx + b 2 2 = x + b 2 2. Example 3 For each show the constant term of the perfect-square trinomial is one-half of the coefficient of its linear term squared 1. (x + 5) 2 = x 2 +10x (x 7) 2 = x 2 14x + 49 Example 4 Find the value of c so the expression is a perfect square trinomial. Then factor each perfect square trinomial. 1. x 2 +12x + c 2. x 2 8x + c 3. x 2 + 4x + c

15 2.4 Solving Equations Algebraically (Page 15 of 40) Steps To Solve ax 2 + bx + c = 0 by Completing the Square 1. Write the equation in the form ax 2 + bx = c. That is, get all the variable terms on one side of the equation and the constant term on the other side. 2. The completing the square procedure requires the leading coefficient to be one, so divide both sides by a. Then Solve 3x 2 18x 3 = x 2 18x = x2 18x = x 2 6x = 1 x 2 + b a x = c a 3. To make x 2 + b x a perfect square trinomial, a add half the linear coefficient squared to both sides of the equation. 4. Factor the perfect square trinomial: (x + half the linear coefficient) 2 5. Solve by taking square roots. 6. Check your solutions. x = 3 ± 10 x , ( ) 1 Since = ( 3) 2 = 9 3. x 2 6x + 9 = 1+ 9 x 2 6x + 9 = (x 3) 2 = (x 3) 2 = ± x 3 = ± 10 x = 3± 10 You can also verify the graph of y = 3x 2 18x 3 has x-intercepts at ( 0.162, 0) and (6.162, 0).

16 2.4 Solving Equations Algebraically (Page 16 of 40) Example 3 Completing the Square Solve x 2 + 2x 6 = 0 by completing the square. 1. Write the equation in the form ax 2 + bx = c. That is, get all the variable terms on one side of the equation and the constant term on the other side. 2. The completing the square procedure requires the leading coefficient to be one, so divide both sides by a. Then x 2 + b a x = c a 3. To make x 2 + b a x a perfect square trinomial, add half the linear coefficient squared to both sides of the equation. 4. Factor the perfect square trinomial: (x + half the linear coefficient) 2 5. Solve by taking square roots. 6. Check your solutions.

17 2.4 Solving Equations Algebraically (Page 17 of 40) Example 4 Completing the Square Solve 2x 2 + 8x + 3 = 0 by completing the square. Example 5 Completing the Square Solve 3x 2 4x 5 = 0 by completing the square.

18 2.4 Solving Equations Algebraically (Page 18 of 40) Derivation of the Quadratic Formula Solve ax 2 + bx + c = 0 by completing the square.
