Quadratic Equations

  1. Solve: 3x2−7x+2=03x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0
  1. Use the quadratic formula x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.

    Here a=3a=3, b=−7b=-7, c=2c=2. x=−(−7)±(−7)2−4(3)(2)2(3) x = \frac{-(-7) \pm \sqrt{(-7)^2 - 4(3)(2)}}{2(3)} x=7±49−246 x = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49 - 24}}{6} x=7±256 x = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{25}}{6} x=7±56 x = \frac{7 \pm 5}{6}

  2. Calculate the two solutions.

    $$
    x_1 = \frac{7 + 5}{6} = \frac{12}{6} = 2
    $$
    $$
    x_2 = \frac{7 - 5}{6} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
    $$
    The solutions are $\boxed{x = 2, x = \frac{1}{3}}$.
    

    2. Solve using completing the square: x2+6x+5=0x^2 + 6x + 5 = 0

  3. Move the constant term to the right side.

    $$
    x^2 + 6x = -5
    $$
    
  4. Complete the square by adding (62)2=32=9(\frac{6}{2})^2 = 3^2 = 9 to both sides.

    $$
    x^2 + 6x + 9 = -5 + 9
    $$
    $$
    (x + 3)^2 = 4
    $$
    
  5. Take the square root of both sides.

    $$
    x + 3 = \pm\sqrt{4}
    $$
    $$
    x + 3 = \pm 2
    $$
    
  6. Solve for xx.

    $$
    x = -3 \pm 2
    $$
    $$
    x_1 = -3 + 2 = -1
    $$
    $$
    x_2 = -3 - 2 = -5
    $$
    The solutions are $\boxed{x = -1, x = -5}$.
    

    Surds and Indices

    1. Simplify: 50+38\sqrt{50} + 3\sqrt{8}
  7. Simplify each surd.

    $$
    \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = 5\sqrt{2}
    $$
    $$
    \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = 2\sqrt{2}
    $$
    
  8. Substitute and combine like terms.

    $$
    5\sqrt{2} + 3(2\sqrt{2})
    $$
    $$
    5\sqrt{2} + 6\sqrt{2}
    $$
    $$
    11\sqrt{2}
    $$
    The simplified expression is $\boxed{11\sqrt{2}}$.
    

    2. Simplify: (23×2−5)(2^3 \times 2^{-5})

  9. Use the index rule am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.

    $$
    2^{3 + (-5)}
    $$
    $$
    2^{3 - 5}
    $$
    $$
    2^{-2}
    $$
    
  10. Use the index rule a−n=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}.

    $$
    \frac{1}{2^2}
    $$
    $$
    \frac{1}{4}
    $$
    The simplified expression is $\boxed{\frac{1}{4}}$.
    

    Logarithms

    1. Simplify: log⁡10(100)+log⁡10(0.001)\log_{10}(100) + \log_{10}(0.001)
  11. Evaluate each logarithm.

    $$
    \log_{10}(100) = 2 \quad (\text{since } 10^2 = 100)
    $$
    $$
    \log_{10}(0.001) = -3 \quad (\text{since } 10^{-3} = 0.001)
    $$
    
  12. Add the values.

    $$
    2 + (-3) = -1
    $$
    The simplified expression is $\boxed{-1}$.
    

    2. Solve: log⁡2(x)=5\log_2(x) = 5

  13. Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation using the definition log⁡b(x)=y  ⟹  by=x\log_b(x) = y \implies b^y = x.

    $$
    x = 2^5
    $$
    
  14. Calculate the value.

    $$
    x = 32
    $$
    The solution is $\boxed{x = 32}$.
    

    Trigonometry

    1. Solve: sin⁡x=1/2\sin x = 1/2 for 0∘≤x≤360∘0^\circ \le x \le 360^\circ
  15. Find the reference angle.

    $$
    \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 30^\circ
    $$
    
  16. Identify the quadrants where sin⁡x\sin x is positive (Quadrant I and Quadrant II).
