1.1.1 Solve for xx: x(x−3)=0x(x-3)=0

  1. For the product of two factors to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.

    x=0orx−3=0x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x-3 = 0
  2. Solve for xx in the second equation.

    x=0orx=3x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 3

    The solutions for xx are:

    x=0 or x=3\boxed{x=0 \text{ or } x=3}

    1.1.2 Solve for xx: 2x2+1=4x2x^2+1=4x (correct to TWO decimal places)

  3. Rearrange the equation into the standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2+bx+c=0.

    2x2−4x+1=02x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0
  4. Identify the coefficients a,b,ca, b, c and apply the quadratic formula x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

    Here, a=2a=2, b=−4b=-4, c=1c=1.

    x=−(−4)±(−4)2−4(2)(1)2(2)x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4(2)(1)}}{2(2)} x=4±16−84x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 8}}{4} x=4±84x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{8}}{4}
  5. Simplify the square root and calculate the two possible values for xx.

    x=4±224x = \frac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{2}}{4} x=2±22x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{2}}{2}
  6. Calculate the numerical values and round to two decimal places.

    x1=2+22≈2+1.414212≈3.414212≈1.7071≈1.71x_1 = \frac{2 + \sqrt{2}}{2} \approx \frac{2 + 1.41421}{2} \approx \frac{3.41421}{2} \approx 1.7071 \approx 1.71 x2=2−22≈2−1.414212≈0.585792≈0.2929≈0.29x_2 = \frac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{2} \approx \frac{2 - 1.41421}{2} \approx \frac{0.58579}{2} \approx 0.2929 \approx 0.29

    The solutions for xx are:

    x≈1.71 or x≈0.29\boxed{x \approx 1.71 \text{ or } x \approx 0.29}

    1.1.3 Solve for xx: x2−2x−3>0x^2 - 2x - 3 > 0

  7. Find the critical points by solving the corresponding equality x2−2x−3=0x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0.

    Factor the quadratic expression:

    (x−3)(x+1)=0(x-3)(x+1) = 0

    This gives critical points x=3x=3 and x=−1x=-1.

  8. Determine the intervals where the inequality holds true.

    Since the parabola y=x2−2x−3y=x^2-2x-3 opens upwards (coefficient of x2x^2 is positive), the expression is greater than zero outside its roots.
    We test values in the intervals (−∞,−1)(-\infty, -1), (−1,3)(-1, 3), and (3,∞)(3, \infty).

    • For x<−1x < -1 (e.g., x=−2x=-2): (−2)2−2(−2)−3=4+4−3=5>0(-2)^2 - 2(-2) - 3 = 4 + 4 - 3 = 5 > 0 (True)
    • For −1<x<3-1 < x < 3 (e.g., x=0x=0): (0)2−2(0)−3=−3<0(0)^2 - 2(0) - 3 = -3 < 0 (False)
    • For x>3x > 3 (e.g., x=4x=4): (4)2−2(4)−3=16−8−3=5>0(4)^2 - 2(4) - 3 = 16 - 8 - 3 = 5 > 0 (True) The solution for xx is:
    x<−1 or x>3\boxed{x < -1 \text{ or } x > 3}

    1.1.4 Solve for xx: 22x−2x+2−32=02^{2x} - 2^{x+2} - 32 = 0

  9. Rewrite the terms using exponent rules.

    22x=(2x)22^{2x} = (2^x)^2 2x+2=2x⋅22=4⋅2x2^{x+2} = 2^x \cdot 2^2 = 4 \cdot 2^x

    Substitute these into the equation:

    (2x)2−4⋅2x−32=0(2^x)^2 - 4 \cdot 2^x - 32 = 0
  10. Let k=2xk = 2^x.

    Substitute kk into the equation to form a quadratic equation.

    k2−4k−32=0k^2 - 4k - 32 = 0
  11. Solve the quadratic equation for kk by factoring.

    (k−8)(k+4)=0(k-8)(k+4) = 0

    This gives two possible values for kk:

    k=8ork=−4k = 8 \quad \text{or} \quad k = -4
  12. Substitute back 2x=k2^x = k and solve for xx.

    Case 1: 2x=82^x = 8

    2x=232^x = 2^3 x=3x = 3

    Case 2: 2x=−42^x = -4
    An exponential function with a positive base, like 2x2^x, can never be negative. Therefore, there is no real solution for xx in this case.
    The solution for xx is:

    x=3\boxed{x=3}

    1.1.5 Solve for xx: −2x+4−x=2\sqrt{-2x+4} - x = 2

  13. Isolate the square root term on one side of the equation.

    −2x+4=x+2\sqrt{-2x+4} = x+2
  14. Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root.

    (−2x+4)2=(x+2)2(\sqrt{-2x+4})^2 = (x+2)^2 −2x+4=x2+4x+4-2x+4 = x^2 + 4x + 4
  15. Rearrange the equation into a standard quadratic form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2+bx+c=0.

    0=x2+4x+2x+4−40 = x^2 + 4x + 2x + 4 - 4 0=x2+6x0 = x^2 + 6x
  16. Solve the quadratic equation for xx by factoring.

    x(x+6)=0x(x+6) = 0

    This gives two possible solutions:

    x=0orx=−6x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -6
  17. Check for extraneous solutions by substituting each value back into the original equation.

    For x=0x=0:

    −2(0)+4−0=2\sqrt{-2(0)+4} - 0 = 2 4−0=2\sqrt{4} - 0 = 2 2=22 = 2

    This solution is valid.
    For x=−6x=-6:

    −2(−6)+4−(−6)=2\sqrt{-2(-6)+4} - (-6) = 2 12+4+6=2\sqrt{12+4} + 6 = 2 16+6=2\sqrt{16} + 6 = 2 4+6=24 + 6 = 2 10=210 = 2

    This statement is false, so x=−6x=-6 is an extraneous solution.
    The solution for xx is:

    x=0\boxed{x=0}

    2 Solve for xx and yy simultaneously:
    2x+y=3(Equation 1)2x + y = 3 \quad \text{(Equation 1)}
    y2+xy=2(Equation 2)y^2 + xy = 2 \quad \text{(Equation 2)}

  18. From Equation 1, express yy in terms of xx.

    y=3−2x(Equation 3)y = 3 - 2x \quad \text{(Equation 3)}
  19. Substitute Equation 3 into Equation 2.

    (3−2x)2+x(3−2x)=2(3-2x)^2 + x(3-2x) = 2
  20. Expand and simplify the equation.

    (9−12x+4x2)+(3x−2x2)=2(9 - 12x + 4x^2) + (3x - 2x^2) = 2 9−12x+4x2+3x−2x2=29 - 12x + 4x^2 + 3x - 2x^2 = 2 2x2−9x+9=22x^2 - 9x + 9 = 2 2x2−9x+7=02x^2 - 9x + 7 = 0
  21. Solve the quadratic equation for xx by factoring.

    (2x−7)(x−1)=0(2x-7)(x-1) = 0

    This gives two possible values for xx:

    2x−7=0⇒x=722x-7=0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{7}{2} x−1=0⇒x=1x-1=0 \Rightarrow x = 1
  22. Substitute each value of xx back into Equation 3 to find the corresponding yy values.

    Case 1: If x=72x = \frac{7}{2}

    y=3−2(72)y = 3 - 2\left(\frac{7}{2}\right) y=3−7y = 3 - 7 y=−4y = -4

    Case 2: If x=1x = 1

    y=3−2(1)y = 3 - 2(1) y=3−2y = 3 - 2 y=1y = 1

    The pairs of solutions (x,y)(x,y) are:

    (72,−4) and (1,1)\boxed{\left(\frac{7}{2}, -4\right) \text{ and } (1, 1)}
