Quadratic Equations

  1. Solve: 3x2−7x+2=03x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0
  1. Identify the coefficients a=3a=3, b=−7b=-7, c=2c=2.

    We can solve this by factoring.
    We need two numbers that multiply to ac=3×2=6ac = 3 \times 2 = 6 and add up to b=−7b = -7. These numbers are −1-1 and −6-6.

  2. Rewrite the middle term using these numbers.

    $$
    3x^2 - x - 6x + 2 = 0
    $$
    
  3. Factor by grouping.

    $$
    x(3x - 1) - 2(3x - 1) = 0
    $$
    
  4. Factor out the common term (3x−1)(3x - 1).

    $$
    (3x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
    $$
    
  5. Set each factor to zero and solve for xx.

    $$
    3x - 1 = 0 \implies 3x = 1 \implies x = \frac{1}{3}
    $$
    $$
    x - 2 = 0 \implies x = 2
    $$
    The solutions are $\boxed{x = \frac{1}{3}, x = 2}$.
    

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

  6. Move the constant term to the right side of the equation.

    $$
    x^2 + 6x = -5
    $$
    
  7. To complete the square, take half of the coefficient of xx (which is 6), square it, and add it to both sides.

    Half of 6 is 3, and $3^2 = 9$.
    $$
    x^2 + 6x + 9 = -5 + 9
    $$
    
  8. Factor the left side as a perfect square and simplify the right side.

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

    Remember to include both positive and negative roots. x+3=±4 x + 3 = \pm\sqrt{4} x+3=±2 x + 3 = \pm 2

  10. Solve for xx for both positive and negative cases.

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

    Surds and Indices

    1. Simplify: 50+38\sqrt{50} + 3\sqrt{8}
  11. Simplify each surd by finding the largest perfect square factor.

    $$
    \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}
    $$
    $$
    3\sqrt{8} = 3\sqrt{4 \times 2} = 3 \times \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{2} = 3 \times 2 \times \sqrt{2} = 6\sqrt{2}
    $$
    
  12. Add the simplified surds.

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

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

  13. Use the rule of indices am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}.

    $$
    2^3 \times 2^{-5} = 2^{3 + (-5)}
    $$
    
  14. Perform the addition in the exponent.

    $$
    2^{3 - 5} = 2^{-2}
    $$
    
  15. Use the rule a−n=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} to express the result with a positive exponent.

    $$
    2^{-2} = \frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4}
    $$
    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)
  16. Evaluate each logarithm separately.

    For $\log_{10}(100)$: We ask, "To what power must 10 be raised to get 100?"
    $$
    10^2 = 100 \implies \log_{10}(100) = 2
    $$
    For $\log_{10}(0.001)$: We ask, "To what power must 10 be raised to get 0.001?"
    $$
    0.001 = \frac{1}{1000} = \frac{1}{10^3} = 10^{-3}
    $$
    $$
    \log_{10}(0.001) = -3
    $$
    
  17. Add the results.

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

    2. Solve: log⁡2(x)=5\log_2(x) = 5

  18. Convert the logarithmic equation into its equivalent exponential form.

    The definition of a logarithm states that if log⁡b(x)=y\log_b(x) = y, then by=xb^y = x.
    Here, b=2b=2, y=5y=5, and xx is the unknown. x=25 x = 2^5

  19. Calculate the value of 252^5.

    $$
    2^5 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 32
    $$
    The solution is $\boxed{x = 32}$.
