Quadratic Equations

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

  2. Use the quadratic formula x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.

    $$
    x = \frac{-(-7) \pm \sqrt{(-7)^2 - 4(3)(2)}}{2(3)}
    $$
    $$
    x = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49 - 24}}{6}
    $$
    $$
    x = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{25}}{6}
    $$
    $$
    x = \frac{7 \pm 5}{6}
    $$
    
  3. Calculate the two possible values for xx.

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

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

  4. Move the constant term to the right side.

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

    $$
    x^2 + 6x + 9 = -5 + 9
    $$
    
  6. Factor the left side as a perfect square.

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

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

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

    Surds and Indices

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

    $$
    \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}
    $$
    $$
    \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}
    $$
    
  10. Substitute the simplified surds back into the expression.

    $$
    5\sqrt{2} + 3(2\sqrt{2})
    $$
    $$
    5\sqrt{2} + 6\sqrt{2}
    $$
    
  11. Combine the like terms.

    $$
    11\sqrt{2}
    $$
    The simplified expression is $11\sqrt{2}$.
    $$
    \boxed{11\sqrt{2}}
    $$
    

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

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

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

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

    Logarithms

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

    $$
    \log_{10}(100) = \log_{10}(10^2) = 2
    $$
    $$
    \log_{10}(0.001) = \log_{10}(10^{-3}) = -3
    $$
    
  15. Add the results.

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

    2. Solve: log⁡2(x)=5\log_2(x) = 5

  16. Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation using the definition log⁡b(a)=c  ⟺  bc=a\log_b(a) = c \iff b^c = a.

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

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

    Trigonometry

    1. Solve: sin⁡x=1/2\sin x = 1/2 for 0∘≤x≤360∘0^\circ \leq x \leq 360^\circ
  18. Find the principal value.

    $$
    x = \arcsin\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 30^\circ
    $$
    
  19. Identify the quadrants where sin⁡x\sin x is positive.

    Sine is positive in the first and second quadrants.

  20. Find the solution in the second quadrant.

    $$
    x = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ
    $$
    The solutions in the given range are $30^\circ$ and $150^\circ$.
    $$
    \boxed{x = 30^\circ, 150^\circ}
    $$
    

    2. Prove: sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x=1\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1

  21. Consider a right-angled triangle with angle xx.

    Let the opposite side be yy, the adjacent side be aa, and the hypotenuse be hh.

  22. Write the definitions of sin⁡x\sin x and cos⁡x\cos x.

    $$
    \sin x = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{y}{h}
    $$
    $$
    \cos x = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{a}{h}
    $$
    
  23. Substitute these into the expression sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x.

    $$
    \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = \left(\frac{y}{h}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{a}{h}\right)^2
    $$
    $$
    \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = \frac{y^2}{h^2} + \frac{a^2}{h^2}
    $$
    $$
    \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = \frac{y^2 + a^2}{h^2}
    $$
    
  24. Apply the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, y2+a2=h2y^2 + a^2 = h^2.

    $$
    \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = \frac{h^2}{h^2}
    $$
    $$
    \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1
    $$
    The identity is proven.
    $$
    \boxed{\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 \text{ (Proven)}}
    $$
    

    Calculus (Differentiation)

    1. Differentiate: y=4x3−3x2+2y = 4x^3 - 3x^2 + 2
  25. Apply the power rule for differentiation, ddx(axn)=naxn−1\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n) = nax^{n-1}, and the rule that the derivative of a constant is 0.

    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(4x^3) - \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(2)
    $$
    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx} = 4(3)x^{3-1} - 3(2)x^{2-1} + 0
    $$
    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx} = 12x^2 - 6x
    $$
    The derivative is $12x^2 - 6x$.
    $$
    \boxed{\frac{dy}{dx} = 12x^2 - 6x}
    $$
    

    2. Find gradient at x=1x = 1 for y=x2+3xy = x^2 + 3x

  26. Differentiate the function to find the gradient function.

    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(3x)
    $$
    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x^{2-1} + 3x^{1-1}
    $$
    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x + 3
    $$
    
  27. Substitute x=1x=1 into the gradient function.

    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_{x=1} = 2(1) + 3
    $$
    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_{x=1} = 2 + 3
    $$
    $$
    \frac{dy}{dx}\Big|_{x=1} = 5
    $$
    The gradient at $x=1$ is 5.
    $$
    \boxed{\text{Gradient} = 5}
    $$
    

    Calculus (Integration)

    1. Integrate: ∫(3x2+2x) dx\int (3x^2 + 2x)\,dx
  28. Apply the power rule for integration, ∫xn dx=xn+1n+1+C\int x^n\,dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C, to each term.

    $$
    \int 3x^2\,dx + \int 2x\,dx
    $$
    $$
    3\left(\frac{x^{2+1}}{2+1}\right) + 2\left(\frac{x^{1+1}}{1+1}\right) + C
    $$
    $$
    3\left(\frac{x^3}{3}\right) + 2\left(\frac{x^2}{2}\right) + C
    $$
    
  29. Simplify the expression.

    $$
    x^3 + x^2 + C
    $$
    The integral is $x^3 + x^2 + C$.
    $$
    \boxed{x^3 + x^2 + C}
    $$
    

    2. Find area under y=xy = x from 0 to 5

  30. Set up the definite integral for the area.

    $$
    \text{Area} = \int_0^5 x\,dx
    $$
    
  31. Integrate the function.

    $$
    \int x\,dx = \frac{x^{1+1}}{1+1} = \frac{x^2}{2}
    $$
    
  32. Evaluate the definite integral using the limits of integration.

    $$
    \text{Area} = \left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^5
    $$
    $$
    \text{Area} = \frac{5^2}{2} - \frac{0^2}{2}
    $$
    $$
    \text{Area} = \frac{25}{2} - 0
    $$
    $$
    \text{Area} = \frac{25}{2}
    $$
    The area under $y=x$ from 0 to 5 is $\frac{25}{2}$ square units.
    $$
    \boxed{\text{Area} = \frac{25}{2} \text{ square units}}
    $$
