It is required to write a function modelling the situation and draw the function’s graph after stating its domain.

It is also required to identify the function’s range using inequality.

To solve this, use the given data to write a function that models the situation. Find the domain and draw the graph using the domain.

Determine the function’s range from the graph.

According to Pythagoras theorem,OA2+OB2=AB2

Subtract OA2 from both the sides and simplify the equation OA2+OB2=AB2,

OB2=AB2−OA2

Square root each sides of the equation OB2=AB2−OA2,

OB=√AB2−OA2

Substitute the value of OA=500 and AB=1200 in the equation OB=√AB2−OA2,

Substitute the value A(0,500) and B(1091,0) in the equation of line, y−y1

=y2−y1/x2−x1(x−x1)

y−500=0−500/1091−0(x−0)

Add 500 on both sides of the equation y−500=0−500/1091−0

HMH Algebra 2, Volume 1 1st Edition Module 2 Chapter 2 Exercise 2.3 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities

Page 87 Problem 1 Answer

The absolute value expression in an absolute value inequality is generally of the form ∣ax+b∣.

An absolute value inequality can be solved either graphically or algebraically.

To solve an absolute value inequality graphically, the left and right sides of the inequality are assumed to be the functions f(x) and g(x) respectively.

Then, the two functions are graphed on the same coordinate grid. Finally, the intervals on the x-axis which satisfy the given inequality are observed to find the required solution.

To solve an absolute value inequality algebraically, first the operations of multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction are used to isolate the absolute value expression of the form ∣ax+b∣ on one side of the inequality.

Then, the constant on the other side of the inequality and the sign of inequality are used to rewrite the inequality as one or two linear inequalities.

Finally, the obtained inequalities are solved for x to find the required solution.

The solutions of an absolute value inequality can be obtained either graphically or algebraically.

The graphic method of solving an absolute value inequality involves assuming the left and right sides of the inequality to be the functions f(x) and g(x) respectively, graphing the two functions on the same coordinate grid, and finally, observing the intervals on the x-axis which satisfy the given inequality to find the required solution.

The algebraic method of solving an absolute value inequality involves isolating the absolute value expression on one side of the inequality, then using the constant on the other side of the inequality and the sign of inequality to rewrite the inequality as one or two linear inequalities, and finally, solving the obtained inequalities for x to find the required solution.

Page 87 Problem 4 Answer

The given equation is ∣x∣+2=5.

The question requires to write the solutions of the given equation, and then relate them to the solutions obtained in the previous two parts of this exercise.

Given that the integers between −5 and 5 that are the solutions of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2<5 are −2,−1,0,1,2, as calculated in part (a) of this exercise.

Given that the integers between −5 and 5 that are the solutions of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2>5 are −5,−4,4,5, as calculated in the previous part of this exercise.

To solve the equation, isolate the absolute value on one side of the equation, rewrite the equation as two equations, and solve the equations for x to find the solutions.

Next, observe the solutions obtained in the previous two parts of this exercise, and relate the solutions of the given absolute value equation.

Subtract 2 from both sides of ∣x∣+2=5.

∣x∣=3

Rewriting the equation, the two equations obtained are x=−3 or x=3.

Thus, the two solutions of the given absolute value equation are x=−3 or x=3.

The integers solutions between −5 and 5 of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2<5 are −2,−1,0,1,2.

The integers solutions between −5 and 5 of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2>5 are −5,−4,4,5.

It can be observed that solutions contain all the integers between −5 and 5, except −3 and 3.

These remaining integers are the solutions of the absolute value equation ∣x∣+2=5.

Thus, the solutions of ∣x∣+2<5, ∣x∣+2>5, and ∣x∣+2=5 are distinct and not repeated, and each integer between −5 and 5 is the solution of either one of the two inequalities, or the equation.

The required solutions are x=−3 or x=3.

The solutions of ∣x∣+2<5 and ∣x∣+2>5 contain all the integers between −5 and 5, except −3 and 3, which are the solutions of the absolute value equation ∣x∣+2=5.

The solutions of ∣x∣+2<5, ∣x∣+2>5, and ∣x∣+2=5 are different and not repeated. Also, each integer between −5 and 5 is the solution of either one of the two inequalities, or the equation.

It is given that x is a real number.

The given absolute value inequalities are ∣x∣+2<5 and ∣x∣+2>5.

The question requires to graph all real solutions of the two absolute value inequalities on the given number lines.

Given that the solutions of the absolute value equation ∣x∣+2=5 are −3,3, as calculated in the previous part of this exercise.

To graph the solutions, observe the given solutions of the absolute value equation ∣x∣+2=5, form intervals using the two solutions, and check the value of the left-hand side of the inequalities for all real values.

Then, graph the solutions on the given number lines for both the inequalities.

The solutions of the absolute value equation ∣x∣+2=5 are −3,3.

When x<−3, the value of ∣x∣+2 is greater than 5, which does not satisfy the inequality ∣x∣+2<5.

When x=−3, the value of ∣x∣+2 is equal to 5, which does not satisfy the inequality ∣x∣+2<5.

When x is between −3 and 3, both not included, the value of ∣x∣+2 is less than 5, which satisfies the inequality ∣x∣+2<5.

When x=3, the value of ∣x∣+2 is equal to 5, which does not satisfy the inequality ∣x∣+2<5.

When x>3, the value of ∣x∣+2 is greater than 5, which does not satisfy the inequality ∣x∣+2<5.

Thus, the solution of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2<5 is −3<x<3.

Graph the obtained solutions of ∣x∣+2<5 on the given number line.

Page 88 Problem 6 Answer

The absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2>5 can be simplified as ∣x∣>3.

This equation is true for all values of x greater than 3, that is x>3, and for all values of x less than −3, that is x<−3.

There is no value of x that is within both the intervals x<−3 and x>3.

Therefore, the solution for the given inequality will be written as a disjunction, that is using the word “or”.

Thus, the solution for the inequality ∣x∣+2>5 is the disjunction x<−3 or x>3.

The solution for the given inequality will be written as a disjunction using the word “or” because there is no value of x lying within both the intervals x<−3 and x>3.

Therefore, the required solution for the inequality ∣x∣+2>5 is the disjunction x<−3 or x>3.

Page 88 Problem 7 Answer

The given absolute value inequalities are ∣x∣+2≤5 and ∣x∣+2≥5.

The question requires to describe the solutions of the given absolute value inequalities using inequalities that do not include an absolute value.

Given that the solutions of the absolute value equation ∣x∣+2=5 are −3,3, as calculated in the previous part of this exercise.

To graph the solutions, simplify the given absolute value inequalities, and check the value of the left-hand side of the inequalities for all real values using intervals.

Then, write the solutions for which the inequalities are satisfied as intervals which do not contain any absolute values.

The first given absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2≤5 can be simplified as ∣x∣≤3.

When x<−3, the value of ∣x∣ is greater than 3, which does not satisfy the inequality ∣x∣≤3.

When x=−3, the value of ∣x∣ is equal to 3, which satisfies the inequality ∣x∣≤3.

When x is between −3 and 3, both not included, the value of ∣x∣ is less than 3, which satisfies the inequality ∣x∣≤3.

When x=3, the value of ∣x∣ is equal to 3, which satisfies the inequality ∣x∣≤3.

When x>3, the value of ∣x∣ is greater than 3, which does not satisfy the inequality ∣x∣≤3.

Therefore, the solutions of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2≤5 are all the values between the integers −3 and 3, both included.

Thus, the solution of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2≤5 is the interval −3≤x≤3.

The second given absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2≥5 can be simplified as ∣x∣≥3.

When x<−3, the value of ∣x∣ is greater than 3, which satisfies the inequality ∣x∣≥3.

When x=−3, the value of ∣x∣ is equal to 3, which satisfies the inequality ∣x∣≥3.

When x is between −3 and 3, both not included, the value of ∣x∣ is less than 3, which does not satisfy the inequality ∣x∣≥3.

When x=3, the value of ∣x∣ is equal to 3, which satisfies the inequality ∣x∣≥3.

When x>3, the value of ∣x∣ is greater than 3, which satisfies the inequality ∣x∣≥3.

Therefore, the solutions of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2≥5 are all the values lesser than or equal to −3, or greater than and equal to 3.

Thus, the solution of the absolute value inequality ∣x∣+2≥5 is the disjunction x≤−3 or x≥3

HMH Algebra 2, Volume 1 1st Edition Module 2 Chapter 2 Exercise 2.3 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities Page 88 Problem 8 Answer

The given absolute value inequality is ∣x−2∣−3<1.

The question requires to solve the given inequality graphically.

To solve the given inequality, let f(x) and g(x) be functions equal to left and right side of the given inequality respectively.

Then, write the translations used to form the function f(x) from the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣, and use them to determine the vertex of f(x).

Next, write the transformations used to form f(x) from the parent absolute value function, take two points lying on the parent absolute value function, and use them to determine two points lying on f(x).

Next, plot the points and vertex, and use them to graph the function f(x) along with the constant function g(x).

Finally, write the intervals of x where the graph of f(x) is below the graph of g(x).

The given inequality is of the form f(x)<g(x).

Let f(x)=∣x−2∣−3 and g(x)=1.

The required solutions are the intervals on the x-axis where the graph of f(x) lies below the graph of g(x).

The vertex of the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣ is (0,0).

The vertex of f(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

It can be observed that f(x) involves translations of h(x) by 2 units to the right and 3 units down.

Therefore, the vertex of f(x) is the point (0+2,0−3)=(2,−3).

The points (2,2) and (−2,2) lie on the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣.

The transformations used to form f(x)=∣x−2∣−3 from the parent absolute value function can be used to determine the two points lying on f(x).

The x-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be shifted 2 units to the right when mapped to f(x).

The y-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be moved down 3 units.

Therefore, the point (2,2) moves to (2+2,∣2∣−3)=(4,−1).

The point (−2,2) moves to (−2+2,∣2∣−3)=(0,−1).

Plot the vertex (2,−3) and the points (0,−1) and (4,−1), and then draw straight lines to plot the graph of f(x)=∣x−2∣−3.

Page 89 Problem 9 Answer

The inequality in part (A) changes from ∣x+3∣+1>4 to ∣x+3∣+1≥4.

Let f(x) be equal to ∣x+3∣+1, and g(x) be equal to 4.

The given inequality is of the form f(x)≥g(x).

The required solutions are the intervals on the x-axis where the graph of f(x) lies above the graph of g(x), or intersects it.From the graph, it can be observed that the graph of f(x)

lies above the graph of g(x) when x<−6 and x>0.

Also, the graph of f(x) intersects the graph of g(x) when x is equal to −6 or 0.

Thus, the solution of the inequality ∣x+3∣+1≥4 is x≤−6 or x≥0.

It can be observed that the solution x<−6 or x>0 of ∣x+3∣+1>4 changes to x≤−6 or x≥0 when the inequality changes to ∣x+3∣+1≥4.

The signs of inequality of the solution changed to include equal to.

The solution of the inequality ∣x+3∣+1≥4 is x≤−6 or x≥0.

The solution x<−6 or x>0 of ∣x+3∣+1>4 changes to x≤−6 or x≥0 when the inequality changes to ∣x+3∣+1≥4.

The signs of inequality of the solution are changed to include equal to in the solution of the new inequality.

The graph of f(x) lies entirely above the graph of g(x).

This means that the graph of f(x) lies above the graph of g(x) for all values of x.

The solution of the inequality f(x)>g(x) is the interval where the graph of f(x) lies above the graph of g(x).

Therefore, the inequality f(x)>g(x) has infinitely many solutions lying in the interval (−∞,∞).

The solution of the inequality f(x)<g(x) is the interval where the graph of f(x) lies below the graph of g(x).

Since the graph of f(x) lies above the graph of g(x) for all values of x, the inequality f(x)<g(x) has no solution.

The inequality f(x)>g(x) has infinitely many solutions lying in the interval (−∞,∞).

The inequality f(x)<g(x) has no solution.

Page 77 Problem 1 Answer

The absolute value expression in an absolute value equation is generally of the form ∣ax+b∣.

To solve an absolute value equation, first, the operations of multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction are used to isolate the absolute value expression ∣ax+b∣  on one side of the equation.

If the absolute value expression ∣ax+b∣  is equal to a negative number, then the equation cannot be solved and there is no solution.

If the absolute value expression ∣ax+b∣ is equal to 0, then the equation can be written as the linear equation ax+b=0, which can then be solved to obtain the only solution of the absolute value equation.

If the absolute value expression ∣ax+b∣ is equal to a positive number, then the equation can be written as a disjunction of two linear equations, which can then be solved to obtain the two solutions of the absolute value equation.

An absolute value equation can be solved by isolating the absolute value expression in the equation on one side of the equation, and determining whether the equation can be solved.

Then, the equation can be written as either one linear equation or a disjunction of two linear equations, which can be solved to obtain the required solutions.

The given absolute value equation is 2∣x−5∣−4=2. The steps to solve the equation graphically are given.

The question requires to solve the given equation.

To solve the given equation, let f(x) and g(x) be functions equal to left and right side of the given equation respectively.

Then, write the translations used to form the function f(x) from the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣, and use them on the vertex to determine the vertex of f(x).

Next, write the coefficient of the expression with the independent variable in the given function to write the stretch or compress required.

Then, take two points lying on the parent absolute value function, and determine the location where they will be mapped on f(x) using the transformations used to form f(x) from h(x).

Next, plot the points and vertex, and use them to graph the function f(x)  along with the constant function g(x), and mark the points of intersection.

Finally, write the x-coordinates of those points to obtain the required solutions.

Let f(x)=2∣x−5∣−4 and g(x)=2.

The vertex of the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣ is (0,0).

The vertex of f(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

It can be observed that f(x) involves translations of h(x) by 5 units to the right and 4 units down.

Therefore, the vertex of f(x) is the point (0+5,0−4)=(5,−4).

HMH Algebra 2 Volume 1 1st Edition Module 2 Chapter 2 Exercise 2.2 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities

The points (2,2) and (−2,2) lie on the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣.

Compare the function f(x) to f(x)=a∣x−h∣−k, and write the value of the constant a.

a=2

Since ∣a∣=2, that is ∣a∣>1, the graph of f(x) will involve a vertical stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 2.

The transformations used to form f(x)=2∣x−5∣−4 from the parent absolute value function can be used to determine the two points lying on f(x).

The x-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be shifted 5 units to the right when mapped to f(x).

The y-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be vertically stretched by a factor of 2, and then moved down 4 units.

Therefore, the point (2,2) moves to (2+5,2⋅∣2∣−4)=(7,0).

The point (−2,2) moves to (−2+5,2⋅∣2∣−4)=(3,0).

Plot the vertex (5,−4) and the points (7,0) and (3,0), and then draw straight lines to plot the graph of f(x)=2∣x−5∣−4.

The solutions of the given equation are the x-coordinates of the points of intersection, that is 2 and 8.

Page 77 Problem 3 Answer

The given function is 2∣x−5∣−4=2. Let f(x) be equal to 2∣x−5∣−4, and g(x) be equal to 2.

The points of intersection of the graphs of the two functions are (2,2) and (8,2), as calculated in the previous part of this exercise.

Thus, the solutions of the given equation are the x-coordinates of the points of intersection, that is 2 and 8.

This can be written as the disjunction x equal to 2 or x equal to 8.

HMH Algebra 2 Volume 1 1st Edition Module 2 Chapter 2 Exercise 2.2 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities Page 77 Problem 4 Answer

Assume an absolute value equation ∣ax+b∣=c.The two equations formed by rewriting the equation are ax+b equal to −c or ax+b equal to c.

The two equations formed have one solution each because they are linear equations.

Therefore, the absolute value equation has two solutions.

The absolute value equation ∣ax+b∣=c cannot have three or four solutions because the expression inside the absolute value parentheses is a linear expression, that is an expression with degree 1.

Therefore, the two equations formed are linear equations which one possible solution each.

Since most absolute value equations have a linear expression of the form ax+b inside the absolute value parentheses, most absolute value equations are expected to have two solutions.

Most absolute value equations are expected to have two solutions because most absolute value equations have a linear expression of the form ax+b inside the absolute value parentheses.

Most absolute value equations generally do not have three or four solutions because the two equations formed by rewriting the common absolute value equation ∣ax+b∣=c are linear equations with only one solution each.

Page 77 Problem 5 Answer

Assume an absolute value equation ∣ax+b∣=c.If c is equal to a negative number, then the equation cannot be solved because the absolute value expression ∣ax+b∣ cannot be equal to the negative number c.

Therefore, an absolute value equation will have no solution if the equation is of the form ∣ax+b∣=c, where c<0.

The graph of an absolute value equation with no solution does not contain any points because there is no point which satisfies the equation.

If c is equal to 0, then the equation can be written as the linear equation ax+b=c, which has only one solution.

Therefore, an absolute value equation will have only one solution if the equation is of the form ∣ax+b∣=0.

The graph of an absolute value equation with one solution is a straight line because it can be written as a linear equation.

An absolute value equation will have no solution if the equation is of the form ∣ax+b∣=c, where c<0.

The graph of such an absolute value equation does not contain any points.

An absolute value equation will have only one solution if the equation is of the form ∣ax+b∣=0.

The graph of such an absolute value equation is a straight line.

Page 81 Exercise 1 Answer

The given absolute value equation is 2∣x+1∣+5=9.

The question requires to solve the given absolute value equation graphically.

To solve the given equation graphically, let f(x) and g(x) be functions equal to left and right side of the given equation respectively.

Then, write the translations used to form the function f(x) from the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣, and use them to determine the vertex of f(x).

Next, write the transformations used to form the points on the function f(x) from the points on the parent absolute value function, and use two points lying on the parent absolute value function to determine two points on f(x).

Next, plot the points and vertex, and use them to graph the function f(x)  along with the constant function g(x), and mark the points of intersection.

Finally, write the x-coordinates of those points as a disjunction to obtain the required solution.

Let f(x)=2∣x+1∣+5 and g(x)=9.

The vertex of the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣ is (0,0).

The vertex of f(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

It can be observed that f(x) involves translations of h(x) by 1 unit to the left and 5 units up.

Therefore, the vertex of f(x) is the point (0−1,0+5)=(−1,5).

The points (2,2) and (−2,2) lie on the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣. Compare the function f(x) to f(x)=a∣x+h∣+k, and write the value of the constant a.

a=2

Since ∣a∣=2, that is ∣a∣>1, the graph of f(x) will involve a vertical stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 2.

The transformations used to form f(x)=2∣x+1∣+5 from the parent absolute value function can be used to determine the two points lying on f(x).

The x-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be shifted 1 unit to the left when mapped to f(x).

The y-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be vertically stretched by a factor of 2, and then moved up 5 units.

Therefore, the point (2,2) moves to (2−1,2⋅∣2∣+5)=(1,9).

The point (−2,2) moves to (−2−1,2⋅∣2∣+5)=(−3,9).

Plot the vertex (−1,5) and the points (−3,9) and (1,9), and then draw straight lines to plot the graph of f(x)=2∣x+1∣+5.

The given absolute value equation is −2∣x+5∣+4=2.

The question requires to solve the given absolute value equation graphically.

To solve the given equation graphically, let f(x) and g(x) be functions equal to left and right side of the given equation respectively.

Then, write the translations used to form the function f(x) from the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣, and use them to determine the vertex of f(x).

Next, write the transformations used to form the points on the function f(x) from the points on the parent absolute value function, and use two points lying on the parent absolute value function to determine two points on f(x).

Next, plot the points and vertex, and use them to graph the function f(x) along with the constant function g(x), and mark the points of intersection.

Finally, write the x-coordinates of those points as a disjunction to obtain the required solution.

Let f(x)=−2∣x+5∣+4 and g(x)=2.

The vertex of the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣ is (0,0).

The vertex of f(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

It can be observed that f(x) involves translations of h(x) by 5 units to the left and 4 units up.

Therefore, the vertex of f(x) is the point (0−5,0+4)=(−5,4).

The points (2,2) and (−2,2) lie on the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣.

Compare the function f(x) to f(x)=a∣x+h∣+k, and write the value of the constant a.

a=−2

Since ∣a∣=2, that is ∣a∣>1, the graph of f(x) will involve a vertical stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 2.

Since a=−2, that is a<0, the graph of f(x) will involve a reflection of the parent absolute value function about the x-axis.

The transformations used to form f(x)=−2∣x+5∣+4 from the parent absolute value function can be used to determine the two points lying on f(x).

The x-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be shifted 5 units to the left when mapped to f(x).

The y-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be reflected about the x-axis, vertically stretched by a factor of 2, and then moved up 4 units.

Therefore, the point (2,2) moves to (2−5,−2⋅∣2∣+4)=(−3,0).

The point (−2,2) moves to (−2−5,−2⋅∣2∣+4)=(−7,0).

Plot the vertex (−5,4) and the points (−3,0) and (−7,0), and then draw straight lines to plot the graph of f(x)=−2∣x+5∣+4.

The given absolute value equation is ∣3/2(x−2)∣+3=2.

The question requires to solve the given absolute value equation graphically.

To solve the given equation graphically, let f(x) and g(x) be functions equal to left and right side of the given equation respectively.

Then, write the translations used to form the function f(x) from the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣, and use them to determine the vertex of f(x).

Next, write the transformations used to form the points on the function f(x) from the points on the parent absolute value function, and use two points lying on the parent absolute value function to determine two points on f(x).

Finally, plot the points and vertex, use them to graph the function f(x) along with the constant function g(x), and check the points of intersection to determine the solution if any.

Let f(x)=∣3/2(x−2)∣+3 and g(x)=2.

The vertex of the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣ is (0,0).

The vertex of f(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

It can be observed that f(x) involves translations of h(x) by 2 units to the right and 3 units up.

Therefore, the vertex of f(x) is the point (0+2,0+3)=(2,3).

The points (2,2) and (−2,2) lie on the parent absolute value function h(x)=∣x∣.

Compare the function f(x) to f(x)=∣1/b(x−h)∣+k, and write the value of the constant b.

​1/b=3/2

b=2/3

Since ∣b∣=2/3, that is 0<∣b∣<1, the graph of f(x) will involve a horizontal stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 2/3.

The transformations used to form f(x)=∣3/2(x−2)∣+3 from the parent absolute value function can be used to determine the two points lying on f(x).

The x-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be horizontally stretched by a factor of 2/3, and then shifted 2 units to the right when mapped to f(x).

The y-coordinate of the points lying on h(x) will be moved up 3 units.

Therefore, the point (2,2) moves to (2/3⋅2+2,∣2∣+3)=(10/3,5).

The point (−2,2) moves to (2/3⋅(−2)+2,∣2∣+3)=(2/3,5).

∣h−240∣−48, where h is the horizontal distance from the left-hand shore in feet. Also, it is given that buoys are to be placed where the river bottom is 30 ft below the surface.

The question requires to determine the horizontal distance from the left-hand shore where the buoys should be placed.

To determine the horizontal distances, substitute the depth of the river bottom as −30

ft in the given absolute value function, isolate the absolute value on one side of the equation, rewrite the equation as two equations, and solve the equations for x

to find the solutions, and thus, the horizontal distances from the left-hand shore where the buoys should be placed.

The depth of the river bottom is 30 ft when d(h)=−30.

Substitute −30 for d(h) in d(h)=1/5∣h−240∣−48, add 48 on both sides, and multiply both sides by 5.

​−30=1/5∣h−240∣−48

18=1/5∣h−240∣

90=∣h−240∣

Rewriting the equation, the two equations obtained are h−240=90 or h−240=−90.

Add 240 on both sides of h−240=90.

h=330 Add 240 on both sides of h−240=−90.

h=150

Thus, the buoys should be placed 150 feet and 330 feet away from the left-hand shore.

The buoys should be placed 150 feet and 330 feet away from the left-hand shore.

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation −1/2∣3x−3∣+2=1, and multiply both sides by −2.

−1/2

∣3x−3∣=−1

∣3x−3∣=2

​Rewriting the equation, the two equations obtained are 3x−3=−2 or 3x−3=2.

Add 3 on both sides of 3x−3=−2 and divide both sides by 3.

​3x=1

x=1/3

Add 3 on both sides of 3x−3=2 and divide both sides by 3.

​3x=5

x=5/3

Therefore, the two solutions are x=1/3 or x=5/3.Thus, the values of x satisfying the given equation are option (A) x=5/3and option (C) x=1/3.

The given equation is written as ∣3x−3∣=2 where the absolute value expression is isolated.

When x is equal to −5/3, the value of ∣3(−5/3)−3∣ is ∣−5−3∣=8 and not 2. Thus, option (B) is incorrect.

When x is equal to −1/3, the value of ∣3(−1/3)−3∣ is ∣−1−3∣=4 and not 2. Thus, option (D) is incorrect.

When x is equal to 3, the value of ∣3(3)−3∣ is ∣9−3∣=6 and not 2. Thus, option (E) is incorrect.

When x is equal to −3, the value of ∣3(−3)−3∣ is ∣−9−3∣=12 and not 2. Thus, option (F) is incorrect.

When x is equal to 1, the value of ∣3(1)−3∣ is ∣3−3∣=0 and not 2. Thus, option (G) is incorrect.

When x is equal to −1, the value of ∣3(−1)−3∣ is ∣−3−3∣=6 and not 2. Thus, option (H) is incorrect.

The values of x satisfying the given equation are option (A) x=5/3 and option (C) x=1/3.

The given equation is 3y=2(x−3).

The question requires to determine the slope and y-intercept.

To determine the required slope and y-intercept, isolate the variable y on one side of the equation using division to rewrite it in slope-intercept form.

Then, compare the obtained equation with the slope-intercept form y=mx+b to find the values of m and b, and thus, the required slope and y-intercept.

Multiply the terms in the equation 3y=2(x−3), and then divide both sides by 3.

​3y=2x−6

3y/3=2x−6/3

y=2/3

x−2…………(1)

​Compare equation (1) with the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, and write the values of m and b.​

m=2/3

Thus, the slope and y-intercept of the given equation are 2/3 and −2respectively.

The required slope and y-intercept are 2/3 and −2 respectively.

Page 64 Problem 5 Answer

The given inequality is y≥−x+2.

The question requires to graph and label the given inequality on the coordinate plane.

To graph, the inequality, write the equation for the boundary line of the given inequality, and compare it to the slope-intercept form y=mx+b to find the values of m and b, and thus, find the slope and y-intercept of the boundary line.

Then, use the slope and y-intercept to find two points lying on the boundary line.

Next, use an arbitrary point to determine the direction in which the graph of the inequality will be shaded.

Finally, use the obtained points to graph and label the given inequality on the coordinate plane.

The equation of the boundary line for the inequality y≥−x+2 is: y=−x+2

Compare the equation of the boundary line with the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, and write the values of m and b.​

m=−1

b=2

Therefore, the slope and y-intercept are −1 and 2 respectively.

Thus, the boundary line passes through (0,2).

The slope of the boundary line is −1, that is −1/1.

The point (0,2) lies on the boundary line.

Therefore, a second point lying on the boundary line is 0+1,2−1)=(1,1).

Assume the arbitrary point (0,0).

Substitute 0 for x and 0 for y in the inequality y≥−x+2.

0≥−0+2

0≥2

Therefore, the point (0,0) does not satisfy the inequality y≥−x+2.

Thus, the inequality y≥−x+2 will be shaded away from the  the origin (0,0).

Graph the y-intercept of (0,2), plot the second point (1,1), draw a solid line through the points, and shade the region above the line, that is away from the origin (0,0).

The given inequality is y<x−1.

The question requires to graph and label the given inequality on the coordinate plane.

To graph the inequality, write the equation for the boundary line of the given inequality, and compare it to the slope-intercept form y=mx+b to find the values of m and b, and thus, find the slope and y-intercept of the boundary line.

Then, use the slope and y-intercept to find two points lying on the boundary line.

Next, use an arbitrary point to determine the direction in which the graph of the inequality will be shaded.

Finally, use the obtained points to graph and label the given inequality on the coordinate plane.

The equation of the boundary line for the inequality y<x−1 is: y=x−1

Compare the equation of the boundary line with the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, and write the values of m and b.

​m=1

b=−1

Therefore, the slope and y-intercept are 1 and −1 respectively.

Thus, the boundary line passes through (0,−1).

The slope of the boundary line is 1, that is 1/1.

The point (0,−1) lies on the boundary line.

Therefore, a second point lying on the boundary line is 0+1,−1+1)=(1,0).

Assume the arbitrary point (0,0).

Substitute 0 for x and 0 for y in the inequality y<x−1.

​0<0−1

0<−1

Therefore, the point (0,0) does not satisfy the inequality y<x−1.

Thus, the inequality y<x−1 will be shaded away from the origin (0,0).

Graph the y-intercept of (0,−1), plot the second point (1,0), draw a dashed line through the points, and shade the region below the line, that is away from the origin (0,0).

Then, label the inequality graphed.

The required labelled graph is:

Algebra 2, Volume 1, 1st Edition, Module 2 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities 10

From the graph of the absolute value function, it can be observed that f(x)=∣x∣ is symmetric about the y-axis.

This means that the absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣ is an even function.

It can be observed that the graph of the function f(x)=∣x∣ stretches infinitely towards the left and right. Therefore, the absolute value function is defined for all values of x.

Hence, the domain of f(x)=∣x∣ is all real numbers.

It can be observed that the points lying on the graph of the function f(x)=∣x∣lie either on, or above the x-axis. Therefore, the values of the outputs f(x) can be either 0, or greater than 0.

Thus, the range of f(x)=∣x∣ is all non-negative real numbers.

The function f(x)=∣x∣ is symmetric about the y-axis, and therefore is an even function.

The domain of f(x)=∣x∣ is all real numbers.

The range of f(x)=∣x∣ is all non-negative real numbers.

Page 66 Problem 10 Answer

The given function is g(x)= −1/2(x+3)+1 . The incomplete solution to graph the function is given.

The question requires to predict how the graph of the given function will look, and verify this using a graphing calculator.

Then, it is required to sketch the graph of the given function.

To sketch the graph, write the translations used to form the given function from the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣, and use them on the vertex to determine the vertex of g(x).

Next, write the coefficient of the expression with the independent variable in the given function to write the stretch or compress required.

Then, take two points lying on the parent absolute value function, and determine the location where they will be mapped on g(x) using the transformations used to form g(x) from f(x).

Finally, plot the points and vertex and graph the given function.

The vertex of the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣ is (0,0).

The vertex of g(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

It can be observed that g(x) involves translations of f(x) by 3 units to the left and 1 unit up.

Therefore, the vertex of g(x) is the point (0−3,0+1)=(−3,1).

The points (2,2) and (−2,2) lie on the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣.

Compare the function g(x) to g(x)=∣−1/b(x+h)+k|, and write the value of the constant b.b=2

Since ∣b∣=2, that is ∣b∣>1, the graph of g(x) will involve a horizontal stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 2.

Since b is negative, the graph of g(x) will involve a reflection of the parent absolute value function about the y-axis.

The transformations used to form g(x)=∣−1/2(x+3)+1∣ from the parent absolute value function can be used to determine the two points lying on g(x).

The x-coordinate of the points lying on f(x) will be reflected in the y-axis, horizontally stretched by a factor of 2, and shifted 3 units to the left when mapped to g(x).

The y-coordinate of the points lying on f(x) will be moved up 1 unit.

Therefore, the point (2,2) moves to (−2⋅2−3,∣2∣+1)=(−7,3).

The point (−2,2) moves to (−2⋅(−2)−3,∣2∣+1)=(1,3).

Plot the vertex (−3,1) and the points (−7,3) and (1,3), and then draw straight lines to sketch the graph of g(x)=∣−1/2(x+3)+1∣.

The vertex of g(x) is (−3,1).

The given graph shows the graph of an absolute value function. The incomplete steps used to find the function are given.

The question requires to write the function in the form g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k| for the given graph, when b=1.

To determine the function, let the given function be g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|, use the graph to find the vertex, and thus, the values of h,k.

Then, rewrite the function using the obtained values.

Next, find a point other than vertex lying on the graph, and substitute its coordinates in the function to find the value of a. Finally, use the value of a in the function to obtain the function in the required form.

Let the given function be g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.

From the graph, it can be observed that the vertex of g(x) is at (1,6).

This means that the values of h and k are 1 and 6 respectively.

Substitute 1 for b, 1 for h, and 6 for k in g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.

​g(x)=a∣1/1(x−1)+6|

g(x)=a∣x−1∣+6………………(1)

​From the graph, it can be observed that the point with the integer coordinates (0,3) lies on the graph.

Substitute 0 for x, and 3 for g(x) in equation (1), subtract 6 from both sides, and solve for a.

​g(x)=a∣x−1∣+6

3=a∣0−1∣+6

3=a∣−1∣+6

−3=a(1)

−3=a​

Substitute −3 for a in g(x)=a∣x−1∣+6.

g(x)=−3∣x−1∣+6

Thus, the required form of the absolute value function is g(x)=−3∣x−1∣+6.

The required form of the graphed function is g(x)=−3∣x−1∣+6.

Page 67 Problem 12 Answer

The given function is g(x)=−1/5∣(x+6)∣+4.

The question requires to find the vertex and two points of the given function, and use them to graph g(x).

To graph the function, compare the given function to the parent absolute value function, and use the translations on its vertex to determine the vertex of g(x).

Then, take two points lying on the parent absolute value function, and determine the location where they will be mapped on g(x) using the transformations used to form g(x)

from f(x).

Finally, plot the points and vertex and graph the given function.

The vertex of the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣ is (0,0).

The vertex of g(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

It can be observed that g(x) involves a translation of f(x) by 6 units to the left and 4 units up.

Therefore, the vertex of g(x) is the point (0−6,0+4)=(−6,4).

The points (8,8) and (−8,8) lie on the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣.

The transformations used to form g(x)=−1/5∣(x+6)∣+4 from the parent absolute value function can be used to determine the two points lying on g(x).

The coefficient of the absolute value in the given function g(x)=−1/5∣(x+6)∣+4 is −1/5, which is less than 1.

The x-coordinate of the points lying on f(x) will be shifted 6 units to the left when mapped to g(x).

The y-coordinate of the points lying on f(x) will be reflected about the x-axis by multiplying by −1, vertically compressed by the factor 1/5, and then shifted 4 units up when mapped to g(x).

Calculate the location where the point (8,8) will be mapped.​

(8−6,−1/5⋅∣8∣+4)=(2,−1/5⋅8+4)

=(2,−8/5+4)

=(2,12/5)

​Thus, (2,12/5) lies on the graph of g(x).

Calculate the location where the point (−8,8) will be mapped.

(−8−6,−1/5⋅∣8∣+4)=(−14,−1/5⋅8+4)

=(−14,−8/5+4)

=(−14,12/5)

Thus, (−14,12/5) lies on the graph of g(x).

Plot the vertex (−6,4) and the points (2,12/5) and (−14,12/5), and then draw straight lines to sketch the graph of g(x)=−1/5∣(x+6)∣+4.

The vertex of g(x) is (−6,4).

The given graph shows the graph of an absolute value function.

The question requires to write the function graphed in the form g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.

To determine the function, assume b=1, use the graph to find the vertex, and thus, the values of h,k. Then, rewrite the function using the obtained values.

Next, find a point other than vertex lying on the graph, and substitute its coordinates in the function to find the value of a.

Finally, use the value of a in the function to obtain the function in the required form.

Let b=1.

From the graph, it can be observed that the vertex of the graphed absolute value function is (−5,−1).

This means that the values of h and k are −5 and −1 respectively.

Substitute 1 for b, −5 for h, and −1 for k in the equation g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.​

g(x)=a∣1/1(x−(−5))+(−1)|

g(x)=a∣x+5∣−1………………(1)​

From the graph, it can be observed that the point (−8,5) lies on the graph.

Substitute −8 for x, and then 5 for g(−8) in equation (1), add 1

on both sides, and then divide both sides by 2.​

g(−8)=a∣−8+5∣−1

5=a∣−3∣−1

6=a(3)

2=a

Substitute 2 for a in g(x)=a∣x+5∣−1.

g(x)=2∣x+5∣−1

Thus, the required form is g(x)=2∣x+5∣−1.

The required form of the graphed function is g(x)=2∣x+5∣−1.

It is given that a beam of light that originates from a point 10 ft above the floor, reflects off a mirror 15 ft away from the wall containing the source of the light.

Also, it is given that after reflecting, it hits the opposite wall which is 8.5 ft away from the mirror.

The question requires to determine the height from the floor where the light hits the other wall after reflecting off the mirror.

To determine the height, draw the diagram representing the given situation, label the diagram, and let the base of the first wall be the origin.

Then, observe that the path of the ball is the graph of an absolute value function, and write a general function for the path.

Assume b=1, use the graph to find the vertex, and thus, the values of h,k.

Then, rewrite the function using the obtained values. Next, find a point other than vertex lying on the graph, and substitute its coordinates in the function to find the value of a.

Then, use the value of a in the function to obtain the function representing the path of the light.

Finally, use the distance of the second wall from the origin in the function, simplify to find the required height, and justify the answer.

Label the diagram representing the given sit

Algebra 2, Volume 1, 1st Edition, Module 2 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities 15

Here, A and B represent the points at which the light originates from and hits the other wall respectively.

The model of the path of the light will be of the form g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.

Let the base of the first wall be the origin (0,0).

Therefore, the vertex of g(x) is the point at which the mirror is placed, that is (15,0).

Assume that b=1.

The vertex of the path of the ball is (15,0).

This means that the values of h and k are 15 and 0 respectively.

Substitute 1 for b, 15 for h, and 0 for k in the equation g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.

g(x)=a∣/1/1(x−15)+0|

g(x)=a∣x−15∣………………(1)​

Another point on g(x) is the point from which the light originates from, that is (0,10).

Substitute 0 for x, and then 10 for g(0) in equation (1), and then divide both sides by 15.

​g(0)=a∣0−15∣

10=a∣−15∣

10=a(15)2/3=a

​Substitute 2/3 for a in g(x)=a∣x−15∣.

g(x)=2/3∣x−15∣

Thus, the function representing the path of the light is g(x)=2/3∣x−15∣.

The value of g(x) at x=15+8.5, that is 23.5 ft will give the height of the light beam on the opposite wall.

Substitute 23.5 for x in g(x)=2/3∣x−15∣, and simplify the expression.

​g(23.5)=2/3∣23.5−15∣

=2/3∣8.5∣

=2/3(8.5)

=17/3

​Therefore, the value of g(23.5) is about 5.67.

Thus, the beam hits the opposite wall at a height of about 5.67 ft.

The answer of 5.67 ft makes sense because the function is symmetric with respect to the vertical line passing through the vertex (15,0), that is x=15.

The distance from this vertical line to the second wall is a little more than half the distance from the line to the first wall from where the beam originates.

Since the beam originates at a height of 10 off the floor, the beam, after reflection, should hit the second wall at a height of a little over 1/2(10)=5 ft.

Thus, the answer 5.67 ft is justified.

The light beam hits the other wall at a height of about 5.67 ft.

HMH Algebra 2 Volume 1 1st Edition Module 2 Chapter 2 Exercise 2.1 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities Page 70 Problem 15 Answer

It is given that a student bounces a ball 3 m away from himself from a height of 1.4 m, to pass it to the other student standing.

The question requires to determine the position where the second student must stand to catch the ball at the height 1.2 m.

To determine the position, draw the diagram representing the given situation, label the diagram, and assume the point at which the first student stands as the origin.

Then, observe that the path of the ball is the graph of an absolute value function, and write a general function for the path.

Assume b=1, use the graph to find the vertex, and thus, the values of h,k. Then, rewrite the function using the obtained values.

Next, find a point other than vertex lying on the graph, and substitute its coordinates in the function to find the value of a.

Then, use the value of a in the function to obtain the function representing the path of the ball.

Finally, use the height at which the second student has to catch the ball in the function, and solve for x to find the required position.

Draw the diagram representing the given situation.

Here, A and B represent the points at which first and second student catch the ball respectively.

Point C represents the point where the ball bounces.

The graph of the path of the ball can be represented by the function g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.

Let the point O where the first student stands be the origin (0,0).

Therefore, the vertex of the graph of the function is (3,0).

Assume that b=1.

The vertex of the path of the ball is (3,0).

This means that the values of h and k are 3 and 0 respectively.

Substitute 1 for b, 3 for h, and 0 for k in the equation g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.

​g(x)=a∣1/1(x−3)+0|

g(x)=a∣x−3∣………………(1)

Algebra 2, Volume 1, 1st Edition, Module 2 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities 16

From the graph, it can be observed that the point (0,1.4) represents the point where the first student catches the ball.

Substitute 0 for x, and then 1.4 for g(0) in equation (1), and then divide both sides by 3.

​g(0)=a∣0−3∣

1.4=a∣−3∣

1.4=a(3)

1.4/3=a

​Substitute 1.4/3 for a in g(x)=a∣x−3∣.

g(x)=1.4/3∣x−3∣

Thus, the function representing the path of the ball is g(x)=1.4/3∣x−3∣.

The second student catches the ball at a height of 1.2 m.

Substitute 1.2 for g(x) in g(x)=1.4/3∣x−3∣, and multiply both sides by 3/1.4.

​1.2=1.4/3∣x−3∣1.2(3/1.4)=1.4/3(3/1.4)∣x−3∣

6(3/7)=∣x−3∣18/7=∣x−3∣………………(2)

​Form two equations by rewriting the absolute value in equation (2).

​18/7=x−3

18/7=−(x−3)

Simplify the right-hand side of 18/7=−(x−3), and solve for x.

​18/7=−x+3

x=3−18/7

x=3/7

x≈0.43

This value of x implies that the student must stand 0.43 m to the right of the origin.

However, the ball bounces 3 m away from the origin, and between the two students.

Thus, the value of x cannot be 0.43.

Add 3 on both sides of the other equation 18/7=x−3.

​18/7+3=x−3+3

39/7=x

5.57≈x

This value of x implies that the student must stand 5.57 m to the right of the origin.

Thus, the second student must stand about 5.57 m away from the first student to catch the ball at a height of 1.2 m.

The answer of 5.57 m makes sense because the function is symmetric with respect to the vertical line passing through the vertex (3,0), that is x=3.

The height at which the second student catches the ball is about 1.2

1.4≈0.857 times the height at which the first student catches the ball.

Therefore, the beam bounces at a distance of 3 m away from the first wall, it should hit the second wall when the distance of the vertical line from the second wall is about 0.857(3)=2.57 m.

This means that the second student should stand at about 3+2.57=5.57 m from the first student.

Thus, the answer 5.57 m is justified.

The second student must stand about 5.57 m away from the first student to catch the ball at a height of 1.2 m.

How To Solve Absolute Value Functions Exercise 2.1 HMH Algebra 2

HMH Algebra 2 Volume 1 1st Edition Module 2 Chapter 2 Exercise 2.1 Absolute Value, Functions, Equations And Inequalities Page 70 Problem 17 Answer

The vertex of f(x)=∣x∣ is the origin (0,0).When the function f(x)=∣x∣ is vertically stretched or compressed, the y-coordinates of the points lying on it are multiplied by a factor.

When the function is horizontally stretched or compressed, the x-coordinates of the points lying on it are multiplied by a factor.

Since the product of 0 and the factor is always 0, the coordinates of the vertex remain (0,0) after multiplication by the factor.

Therefore, the vertex remains same when the function is stretched or compressed.

When the function f(x)=∣x∣ is vertically translated up or down, a constant is added or subtracted from the y-coordinates of the points lying on it.

When the function is horizontally translated to the left or right, a constant is added or subtracted from the x-coordinates of the points lying on it.

When a constant is added or subtracted from the coordinates of the vertex (0,0), the resulting vertex is a point other than (0,0).

Therefore, the vertex does not remain the same when the function is translated.

The vertex remains same when the function is stretched or compressed because the coordinates of the vertex remain (0,0) after multiplication by any factor.

The vertex does not remain the same when the function is translated because the vertex is not (0,0) after a constant is added to or subtracted from either of the coordinates.

The vertex of g(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

Therefore, the vertex of g(x) is the point (0+3,0)=(3,0).

The points (1,1) and (−1,1) lie on the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣.

The given function is g(x)=∣x∣.

The question requires to graph the given function, and determine its domain and range.

To graph the function, use the piecewise definition of the absolute value function g(x)=∣x∣ to form an input-output table.

Then, use the input-output table to write the coordinates of points lying on the graph of g(x)=∣x∣, and connect the points to sketch the graph of the function.

Finally, use the graph to determine the domain and range of the function.

The absolute value function g(x)=∣x∣ can be defined as the piecewise function:g(x)={x x≥0−x x<0

Substitute −8 for x in the absolute value function g(x)=∣x∣, and simplify using the piecewise definition of the absolute value function.

g(−8)=∣−8∣

=−(−8)

=8

Therefore, when the input is −8, the output is 8.

Substitute −4 for x in the absolute value function g(x)=∣x∣, and simplify using the piecewise definition of the absolute value function.

​g(−4)=∣−4∣

=−(−4)

=4

​Therefore, when the input is −4, the output is 4.

Substitute 0 for x in the absolute value function g(x)=∣x∣, and simplify using the piecewise definition of the absolute value function.​

g(0)=∣0∣

=0​

Therefore, when the input is 0, the output is 0.

Substitute 4 for x in the absolute value function g(x)=∣x∣, and simplify using the piecewise definition of the absolute value function.

​g(4)=∣4∣

=4

​Therefore, when the input is 4, the output is 4.

Substitute 8 for x in the absolute value function g(x)=∣x∣, and simplify using the piecewise definition of the absolute value function.

g(8)=∣8∣

The given function is g(x)=−7/6∣(x−2)∣.

The question requires to predict how the graph of the given function will look, and verify this using a graphing calculator.

Then, it is required to sketch the graph of the given function.

To sketch the graph, write the translations used to form the given function from the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣, and use them on the vertex to determine the vertex of g(x).

Next, write the coefficient of the absolute value in the given function to find the factor by which the parent absolute function will be vertically stretched.

Then, take two points lying on the parent absolute value function, and determine the location where they will be mapped on g(x)

using the transformations used to form g(x) from f(x). Next, plot the points and vertex and graph the given function.

Finally, use the drawn graph to find and write the domain and range of the function.

The vertex of the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣ is (0,0).

The vertex of g(x) is the point where (0,0) will be mapped using translations.

It can be observed that g(x) involves a translation of f(x) by 2 units to the right.

Therefore, the vertex of g(x) is the point (0+2,0)=(2,0).

Compare the function g(x) to g(x)=−a∣(x−h)∣, and write the value of the constant a.a=7/6

Since a=7/6, that is ∣a∣>1, the graph of g(x) will involve a vertical stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 7/6.

Since the coefficient of the absolute value ∣(x−2)∣ in the given function is −7/6, that is negative, the graph of g(x) will involve reflection of the parent absolute value function about the x-axis.

The points (6,6) and (−6,6) lie on the parent absolute value function f(x)=∣x∣.

The transformations used to form g(x)=−7/6∣(x−2)∣ from the parent absolute value function can be used to determine the two points lying on g(x).

The x-coordinate of the points lying on f(x) will be shifted 2 units to the right when mapped to g(x).

The y-coordinate of the points lying on f(x) will be reflected about the x-axis, and then vertically stretched by the factor 7/6.

Calculate the location where the point (6,6) will be mapped.

​(6+2,−7/6⋅∣6∣)=(6+2,−7/6⋅6)=(8,−7)

Calculate the location where the point (−6,6) will be mapped.​

(−6+2,−7/6⋅∣6∣)=(−6+2,−7/6⋅6)

=(−4,−7)

​Therefore, the two points (−4,−7) and (8,−7) lie on the graph of g(x).

Plot the vertex (2,0) and the points (−4,−7) and (8,−7), and then draw straight lines to sketch the graph of g(x)=−7/6∣(x−2)∣.

The given graph shows the graph of an absolute value function.

The question requires to write the function in standard form for the given graph, when a=1.

To determine the function, let the given function be g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|, use the graph to find the vertex, and thus, the values of h,k.

Then, rewrite the function using the obtained values.

Next, find a point other than vertex lying on the graph, and substitute its coordinates in the function to find the value of b.

Finally, use the value of b in the function to obtain the function in the required form.

Let the given function be g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|, that is an absolute value function in standard form.

From the graph, it can be observed that the vertex of the graphed absolute value function is (−7,4).

This means that the values of h and k are −7 and 4 respectively.

Substitute 1 for a, −7 for h, and 4 for k in g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.

g(x)=1∣1/b(x−(−7))+4|

g(x)=∣1/b(x+7)+4|………………(1)

From the graph, it can be observed that the point (−6,6) lies on the graph.

Substitute −6 for x, and then 6 for g(−6) in equation (1), and subtract 4 from both sides.

​g(−6)=∣1/b(−6+7)+4|

6=∣1/b(1)+4|

2=∣1/b|……………(2)

​Form two equations by rewriting the absolute value in equation (2).

​2=1/b

2=−1/b

If 2 is equal to 1/b, then b=1/2.

If 2 is equal to −1/b, then b=−1/2.

Since the absolute value in g(x)=∣1/b(x+7)+4| remains the same for both values of b, consider the value b=1/2.

Substitute 1/2 for b in g(x)=∣1/b(x+7)+4|, and simplify the equation.

​g(x)=∣1/12(x+7)+4|

g(x)=∣2(x+7)∣+4

g(x)=2∣(x+7)∣+4

Thus, the graphed absolute value function is g(x)=2∣(x+7)∣+4.

The required absolute value function is g(x)=2∣(x+7)∣+4.

From the graph, it can be observed that the vertex of the graphed absolute value function is (4,3).

This means that the values of h and k are 4 and 3 respectively.

Substitute 1 for b, 4 for h, and 3 for k in g(x)=a∣1/b(x−h)+k|.​

g(x)=a∣1/1(x−4)+3|

g(x)=a∣x−4∣+3………………(1)​

From the graph, it can be observed that the point (0,2) lies on the graph.

Substitute 0 for x, and then 2 for g(0) in equation (1), subtract 3 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 4.

​g(0)=a∣0−4∣+3

2=a∣−4∣+3

−1=a(4)

−1/4=a​

Substitute −1/4 for a in g(x)=a∣x−4∣+3.

The question requires to determine if the player makes the shot.

Given the equation g(x)=−12/7∣x−6∣+8 representing the path of the ball as calculated in the previous part of this exercise.

To answer the question, substitute the point (9.5,2) on the equation for path of the ball, and check whether the point lies on the path.

Substitute 9.5 for x and 2 for g(9.5) in equation g(x)=−12/7∣x−6∣+8, and simplify both sides of the equation.​

It is given that the orchestra starts at fortissimo, changes to pianissimo after four measures, and again increases to fortissimo after four more measures.

Also, it is given that a fortissimo and pianissimo are at sound levels 90 and 50 decibels respectively.

The question requires to determine the function representing the sound level s as a function of the number of measures m.

To determine the function, use the points of the form (m,s) and the given information to find three points lying on the graph of the required function.

Plot the points, join them, observe the graph formed, and write the required function as a general absolute value function.

Assume b=1, use the graph to find the vertex, and thus, the values of h,k.

Then, rewrite the function using the obtained values.

Next, find a point other than vertex lying on the graph, and substitute its coordinates in the function to find the value of a.

Then, use the value of a in the function to obtain the function representing the sound level.

The points (m,s) can be used to represent the sound level at a particular number of measures.

The initial sound level at zero number of measures is s=90 decibels.

The sound level after four number of measures is s=50 decibels.

The sound level after eight number of measures is s=90 decibels.

Therefore, the points (0,90),(4,50),(8,90) lie on the graph of the function representing the sound level.

Assume that b=1.

The vertex of the function is the point is the relative extrema (4,50).

This means that the values of h and k are 4 and 50 respectively.

Substitute 1 for b, 4 for h, and 50 for k in the equation s=a∣1/b(m−h)+k|.

​s=a∣1/1(m−4)+50|

Given the equation s=10∣m−4∣+50 representing the sound level s as a function of the number of measures m, as calculated in the previous part of this exercise.

To determine the number of measures, substitute the sound level as 70 in the function for the sound level, and solve the equation for m by rewriting the absolute value.

Substitute 70 for s in equation s=10∣m−4∣+50, subtract 50 from both sides, and divide both sides by 10.

Thus, the orchestra is at the loudness of mezzo forte in 2 measures and in 6 measures.

The required number of measures at which orchestra is at the loudness of mezzo forte are 2 measures and 6 measures.

Page 76 Exercise 19 Answer

It is given that the orchestra starts at fortissimo, changes to pianissimo after four measures, and again increases to fortissimo after four more measures.

Also, it is given that a fortissimo and pianissimo are at sound levels 90 and 50 decibels respectively.

The question requires to describe how the graph of the given function will look.

Given the equation s=10∣m−4∣+50 representing the sound level s as a function of the number of measures m, as calculated in part (a) of this exercise.

To answer the question, compare the given function to the general form s=a∣(m−h)∣+k to find the values of the constants, and then describe the graph using the transformations that are required to form the function from the parent absolute value function.

Compare the function for sound level to the general form s=a∣(m−h)∣+k, and write the values of the constants.

​a=10

h=4

k=50​

The value of a is positive. Therefore, the graph of s=10∣m−4∣+50 will open upwards.

Since ∣a∣=10, that is greater than 1, the graph will be a vertical stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 10.

Since h=4, the graph will be a horizontal translation of the parent absolute value function by 4 units to the right.

Since k=50, the graph will involve a vertical translation of the parent absolute value function by 50 units up.

Therefore, the graph of s=10∣m−4∣+50 will open upwards.

It will be a vertical stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 10, a horizontal translation by 4 units to the right, and finally, a vertical translation 50 units up.

The graph of s=10∣m−4∣+50 will open upwards and will be a vertical stretch of the parent absolute value function by a factor 10, a horizontal translation by 4 units to the right, and finally, a verical translation 50 units up.

A table is given with some statements written in one column. It is asked to write the terms for those statements in another column.

Factor is a number or expression that divides a product exactly.

For example, 3x divides 6x2 and gives the quotient 2x. So, 3x is the factor of 6x2.

A rational or irrational number is always a real number. For example, 1/2 is a rational number.

Here, 1/2=0.5. Thus, it is a real number.

A number, variable, product, or quotient in expression is called as term.

For example: in the expression, 3x+2, 3xand 2are the terms of the binomial 3x+2.

Parameters are the constants in a function or equation that may be changed. For example, in the equation,x=2t+1, t is the parameter.

A change in the size, position, or shape of a figure of graph is called as transformation.

Transformations are of four types mainly, Reflection, Translation, Stretch, Compression.A numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression is known as coefficients.

It is given that the minimum value of f(x) noticed from steps A and B of Explore 1 is −2.

The given table shows the values of g(x), and the corresponding number of real solutions of f(x)=g(x).

The question requires to complete the given table.

Given the following graph, as drawn in step B of Explore 1:

Algebra 2, Volume 1, 1st Edition, Module 3 Quadratic Equations 5

To complete the given table, use the graph to determine the number of points of intersection of f(x) and g(x)=−2, and write the number of real solutions of the given equation.

Next, use the graph to determine the number of points of intersection of f(x) and the horizontal lines represented by g(x)>−2, and write the number of real solutions of the given equation.

Similarly, find the number of real solutions of the given equation when g(x)<−2.

Finally, use the obtained number of real solutions to complete the given table.

From the graph, it can be observed that the graph of f(x) and g(x)=−2 touch each other at one point.

This means that when g(x) is equal to the minimum value of f(x), that is −2, f(x)=g(x) for one real value of x.

Thus, the number of real solutions of f(x)=g(x) is one when g(x) is equal to −2.

The graph of g(x)>a for each value of a represents a horizontal line above the line g(x)=a.

From the graph, it can be observed that each horizontal line passing through the graph of f(x) above the line g(x)=−2 intersects the parabola at two points.

This means that when g(x) has a value greater than −2, the graph of f(x) and g(x) intersect each other at two points.

Therefore, when g(x) has a value greater than the minimum value of f(x), that is −2, f(x)=g(x) for two real values of x.

Thus, the number of real solutions of f(x)=g(x) is two when g(x)>−2.

The graph of g(x)<a for each value of a represents a horizontal line below the line g(x)=a.

From the graph, it can be observed that each horizontal line below the line g(x)=−2

does not intersect the parabola at any point.

This means that when g(x) has a value less than −2, the graph of f(x) and g(x) do not intersect each other.

Therefore, when g(x) has a value less than the minimum value of f(x), that is −2, f(x) is not equal to g(x) for any real value of x.

Thus, the number of real solutions of f(x)=g(x) is zero when g(x)<−2.

To complete the given table, use the graph to determine the number of points of intersection of f(x)

and g(x)=2, and write the number of real solutions of the given equation.

Next, use the graph to determine the number of points of intersection of f(x) and the horizontal lines represented by g(x)>2, and write the number of real solutions of the given equation.

Similarly, find the number of real solutions of the given equation when g(x)<2.

Finally, use the obtained number of real solutions to complete the given table.

From the graph, it can be observed that the graph of f(x) and g(x)=2 touch each other at one point.

This means that when g(x) is equal to the maximum value of f(x), that is 2, f(x)=g(x) for one real value of x.

Thus, the number of real solutions of f(x)=g(x) is one when g(x) is equal to 2.

The graph of g(x)<a for each value of a represents a horizontal line below the line g(x)=a.

From the graph, it can be observed that each horizontal line passing through the graph of f(x) below the line g(x)=2 intersects the parabola at two points.

This means that when g(x) has a value less than 2, the graph of f(x) and g(x) intersect each other at two points.

Therefore, when g(x) has a value less than the maximum value of f(x), that is 2, f(x)=g(x) for two real values of x.

Thus, the number of real solutions of f(x)=g(x) is two when g(x)<2.

The graph of g(x)>a for each value of a represents a horizontal line above the line g(x)=a.

From the graph, it can be observed that each horizontal line above the line g(x)=2 does not intersect the parabola at any point.

This means that when g(x) has a value greater than 2, the graph of f(x) and g(x) do not intersect each other.

Therefore, when g(x) has a value greater than the maximum value of f(x), that is 2, f(x) is not equal to g(x) for any real value of x.

Thus, the number of real solutions of f(x)=g(x) is zero when g(x)>2

It is given that the maximum value of f(x) given in Reflect 2 is 2. Also, it is given that equation ax2+bx+c=0

where a>0 has real solutions when b2−4ac≥0. The steps used to generalize the results of Reflect 1 are given.

The question requires to generalize the results of Reflect 2, and write what is noticed.

Given the following table, as completed in Reflect 2:

Algebra 2, Volume 1, 1st Edition, Module 3 Quadratic Equations 7

To answer the question, use the table to write the range of values of g(x) for which f(x)=g(x) has real solutions.

Then, determine the maximum value of f(x) by substituting −b/2a for x in the function, and simplifying it.

Next, use the obtained maximum value of f(x) to form an inequality in terms of g(x).

Finally, rewrite the inequality to form a general expression, generalize the result by writing the relation for which ax2+bx+c=0

has real solutions, and write what is observed using the given information.

The quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, where a<0, can be written as:ax2+bx=−c

The function f(x) used in Reflect 2 is of the form ax2+bx, where a<0.

The function g(x) is of the form −c.

From the table, it can be observed that the equation f(x)=g(x), where g(x) is equal to −c, has real solutions when g(x) is less than or equal to the maximum value of f(x), that is 2.

The maximum value of f(x) occurs at x=−b/2a.

Calculate the maximum value of f(x) by substituting x=−b/2a in the function, and simplifying the expression.

​f(−b/2a)=a(−b/2a)2+b(−b/2a)

f(−b/2a)=a(b2/4a2)−b2/2a

f(−b/2a)=b2/4a−b2/2a

f(−b/2a)=−b2/4a

Therefore, the equation f(x)=g(x) has real solutions when g(x)≤−b2/4a.

Substitute −c for g(x) in the inequality g(x)≤−b2/4a, add b2/4a on both sides, and multiply both sides by the negative number 4a.

​−c≤−b2/4a

b2/4a−c≤0

4a(b2/4a−c)≥4a(0)

b2−4ac≥0

​Therefore, the equation ax2+bx+c=0

where a<0 has real solutions when b2−4ac≥0.

It is given that equation ax2+bx+c=0 where a>0 has real solutions when b2−4ac≥0.

Thus, it can be concluded that the equation ax2+bx+c=0 has real solutions when b2−4ac≥0 for all real values of a.

The equation ax2+bx+c=0 where a<0 has real solutions when b2−4ac≥0.

It is observed that equation ax2+bx+c=0 has real solutions when b2−4ac≥0 for all real values of a.

Then, add (b/2)2 on both sides of the rewritten equation, factor the left-side expression using algebraic identities, and use the definition of square root.

Finally, solve the obtained equation to determine the required solutions, and observe them to state whether they are real or non-real.

Subtract 7 from both sides of x2−2x+7=0.

​x2−2x+7−7=0−7

x2−2x=−7……………(1)

​Comparing the equation (1) to the equation x2+bx=c, it can be determined that the value of b is −2.

Therefore, the value of (b/2)2 is (−2/2)2=4/4, that is 1.

Add the value of (b/2)2, that is 1, on both sides of equation (1).

Then, factorise the left-hand side expression using the algebraic identity a2−2ab+b2=(a−b)2, and simplify the right-hand side expression.

​x2−2x+1=−7+1

(x−1)2=−7+1

(x−1)2=−6

​Use the definition of square root to simplify (x−1)2=−6, and then add 1 on both sides.

​(x−1)2=−6

x−1=±√−6

x=1±√−6

Therefore, the required solutions are x=1+√−6 and x=1−√−6.

It can be observed that the solutions x=1±√−6 contain the square root of a negative number.

Therefore, the solutions are non-real.

Thus, there are two non-real solutions: x=1+√−6 and x=1−√−6.

The required solutions are x=1+√−6 and x=1−√−6.The solutions are non-real.

From part A of the example, it can be observed that the equation 3x2+9x−6=0 has two real solutions: −3+√17/2 and −3−√17/2.

Every real number a can be written as the complex number a+0i, having the imaginary part equal to 0.

This means that every real number is a complex number.

The real solutions −3+√17/2 and −3−√17/2 can be written as the complex solutions −3+√17/2+0i and −3−√17/2+0i respectively.

This means that both the real solutions of the equation in part A are complex.

Therefore, the equation in part A has two complex solutions, having the imaginary part equal to 0.

From part B of the example, it can be observed that the equation x2−2x+7=0 has two non-real solutions: 1+√−6 and 1−i√6.

The non-real solutions 1+√−6 and 1−√−6 can be written as the complex solutions 1+i√6and 1−i√6 respectively, having non-zero real and imaginary parts.

This means that both the non-real solutions of the equation in part B are complex.

Therefore, the equation in part B has two complex solutions, having non-zero real and imaginary parts.

The equations in part A and part B both have two complex solutions because every real and non-real number is a complex number.

This means that the solutions of the equation in part A are real and complex, and the solutions of the equation in part B are non-real and complex.

The given equation is x2+8x+17=0.

The question requires to solve the given equation by completing the square, and then state whether the obtained solutions are real or non-real.

To solve the equation by completing the square, rewrite the equation in the form x2+bx=c. Then, identify the value of b, and calculate (b/2)2.

Then, add (b/2)2 on both sides of the rewritten equation, factor the left-side expression using algebraic identities, and use the definition of square root.

Finally, solve the obtained equation to determine the required solutions, and observe them to state whether they are real or non-real.

Subtract 17 from both sides of x2+8x+17=0.​

x2+8x+17−17=0−17

x2+8x=−17……………(1)​

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation x2+bx=c, it can be determined that the value of b is 8.

Therefore, the value of (b/2)2 is (8/2)2

=(4)2, that is 16.

Add the value of (b/2)2, that is 16, on both sides of equation (1).

Then, factorise the left-hand side expression using the algebraic identity a2+2ab+b2=(a+b)2, and simplify the right-hand side expression.

​x2+8x+16=−17+16

(x+4)2=−17+16

(x+4)2=−1

​Use the definition of square root to simplify (x+4)2=−1.

Then, subtract 4 from both sides, and rewrite the expression using the imaginary unit i.

​(x+4)2=−1

x+4=±√−1

x=−4±√−1

x=−4±i

Therefore, the required solutions are x=−4+i and x=−4−i.

It can be observed that the solutions x=−4±i contain the imaginary unit i, which is equal to the square root of the negative number −1.

Therefore, the solutions are non-real. Thus, there are two non-real solutions: x=−4+i and x=−4−i.

The required solutions are x=−4+i and x=−4−i. The solutions are non-real.

The given equation is x2+10x−7=0.

The question requires to solve the given equation by completing the square, and then state whether the obtained solutions are real or non-real.

To solve the equation by completing the square, rewrite the equation in the form x2+bx=c.

Then, identify the value of b, and calculate (b/2)2.

Then, add (b/2)2 on both sides of the rewritten equation, factor the left-side expression using algebraic identities, and use the definition of square root.

Finally, solve the obtained equation to determine the required solutions, and observe them to state whether they are real or non-real.

Add 7 on both sides of x2+10x−7=0.​

x2+10x−7+7=0+7

x2+10x=7……………(1)

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation x2+bx=c, it can be determined that the value of b is 10.

Therefore, the value of (b/2)2 is (10/2)2=(5)2, that is 25.

Add the value of (b/2)2, that is 25, on both sides of equation (1).

Then, factorise the left-hand side expression using the algebraic identity a2+2ab+b2=(a+b)2, and simplify the right-hand side expression.​

x2+10x+25=7+25

(x+5)2=7+25

(x+5)2=32

​Use the definition of square root to simplify (x+5)2=32, and then subtract 5 from both sides.

​(x+5)2=32

x+5=±√32

x=−5±√32

Rewrite the expression √32, use the product property of square roots, and simplify the square root.

x=−5±√16⋅2

x=−5±√16⋅√2

x=−5±4√2​

Therefore, the required solutions are x=−5+4√2 and x=−5−4√2.

It can be observed that the solutions x=−5±4√2 do not contain the square root of a negative number or the imaginary unit i.Therefore, the solutions are real.

The required solutions are x=−5+4√2 and x=−5−4√2.

The solutions are real.

Quadratic Equations in HMH Algebra 2 (1st Edition, Module 3, Chapter 3, Exercise 3.3) Page 142 Problem 12 Answer

It is given that the function A(w)=w(50−w) gives the area of the given garden in square feet, where w

is the width of the garden in feet.

The question requires to determine whether the garden can have an area equal to 700 square feet.

It is required to answer this by writing an equation for the given situation, and then determining whether the solutions are real or non-real.

To answer the question, let the area A(w) be equal to 700 square feet.

Then, use the given function to form a quadratic equation in terms of w. Next, compare the equation to aw2+bw+c=0 and identify the values of a,b,c.

Finally, determine the discriminant of the equation to determine whether the solutions are real or non-real, and thus, determine whether the area can be equal to 700 square feet or not.

Let the area of the garden be equal to 700 square feet. Therefore, A(w)=700.

Substitute w(50−w) for A(w) in A(w)=700. Then, multiply the terms, and subtract 700 from both sides.

w(50−w)=700

50w−w2=700−w2+50w−700=0……………(1)

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation aw2+bw+c=0, it can be determined that the values of a,b,c are −1,50,−700 respectively.

Substitute −1 for a, 50 for b, and −700 for c in the formula for discriminant b2−4ac. Then, multiply the terms, and subtract the terms.

​b2−4ac=(50)2−4(−1)(−700)

=2500−2800

=−300

The discriminant is equal to −300, which is less than 0.

This means that the equation A(w)=700 has two non-real solutions.

Therefore, there is no real value of w for which the area of the garden is equal to 700 square feet.

Thus, the garden cannot have an area equal to 700 square feet.

No, the garden cannot have an area equal to 700 square feet.

The question requires to determine whether the area of a triangular sail can be equal to 10 square inches.

It is required to answer this by writing an equation for the given situation, and then determining whether the solutions are real or non-real.

To answer the question, use the given information and the formula for area of a triangle to write an equation for the given situation.

Next, let the area A(b) of the sail be equal to 10 square inches. Then, use the obtained function for area to form a quadratic equation in terms of b.

Next, compare the equation to pb2+qb+r=0 and identify the values of p,q, and r.

Finally, determine the discriminant of the equation to determine whether the solutions are real or non-real, and thus, determine whether the area can be equal to 10 square inches or not.

From the given information, it can be determined that h=2b.

Substitute 2b for h in the formula A=1/2bh for area of a triangle, and multiply the terms.

A=1/2b(2b)

A=b2

A(b)=b2

Let the area of the triangular sail be equal to 10

square inches. Therefore, A(b)=10.

Substitute b2 for A(b) in A(b)=10, and subtract 10 from both sides.

​b2=10

b2−10=0……………(1)

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation pb2+qb+r=0, it can be determined that the values of p,q,r are 1,0,−10 respectively.

If a quadratic equation is in the form pb2+qb+r=0, then its determinant is equal to q2−4pr.

Substitute 1 for p, 0 for q, and −10 for r in the formula for discriminant q2−4pr. Then, multiply the terms, and add the terms.

​q2−4pr=(0)2

−4(1)(−10)

=0+40

=40

The discriminant is equal to 40, which is greater than 0.

This means that the equation A(b)=10 has two real solutions.

Therefore, there is some real value of b for which the area of the triangular sail is equal to 10

square inches.

Thus, the triangular sail can have an area equal to 10 square inches.

Yes, the area of the triangular sail can be equal to 10 square inches.

Quadratic Equations in HMH Algebra 2 (1st Edition, Module 3, Chapter 3, Exercise 3.3) Page 145 Problem 16 Answer

The given equation is ax2+bx+c=0. The given solution is p+qi.

The question requires to what should be the other solution of the equation, and explain how it is determined.

Let the other solution of the given equation be the complex number f+gi.

To answer the question, use the property for sum of roots of a quadratic equation, and the assumed solution and the given solution to write an equation for the sum of the solutions.

Then, observe both sides to determine the value of the imaginary part of the sum, and solve the resulting equation to determine one of the constants in the assumed solution.

Next, use the property for product of roots of a quadratic equation, and the assumed solution and the given solution to write an equation for the product of the solutions.

Then, observe both sides to determine the value of the imaginary part of the product, and solve the resulting equation to determine the other constant in the assumed solution.

Finally, use the constants to determine the other solution, and explain why is it the solution.

The sum of the two solutions of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 is the quotient −b/a.

Therefore, the sum of f+gi and p+qi is −b/a.

Form an equation for the sum of the solutions, and group the real and imaginary parts.​

(f+gi)+(p+qi)=−b/a

(f+p)+(gi+qi)=−b/a

(f+p)+(g+q)i=−b/a

The right-hand side expression −b/a is a real number.

Therefore, (f+p)+(g+q)i must also be a real number. This means that the imaginary part (g+q) is equal to 0.

Equate g+q and 0, and subtract q from both sides.​

g+q=0

g=−q​

The product of the two solutions of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 is the quotient c/a.

Therefore, the product of f+gi and p+qi is c/a.

Form an equation for the product of the solutions.

Then, multiply the terms, substitute −1 for i2, and group the real and imaginary parts.

(f+gi)(p+qi)=c/a

fp+fqi+gpi+gqi2=c/a

fp+fqi+gpi+gq(−1)=c/a

fp+fqi+gpi−gq=c/a

(fp−gq)+(fq+gp)i=c/a

The right-hand side expression c/a is a real number.

Therefore, (fp−gq)+(fq+gp)i must also be a real number.

This means that the imaginary part fq+gp is equal to 0.

Equate fq+gp and 0, substitute −q for g, divide both sides by q, and add p on both sides.

​fq+gp=0

fq+(−q)p=0

fq−pq=0

q(f−p)=0

f−p=0

f=p

​Substitute −q for g and p for f in the solution f+gi.

​f+gi=p+(−q)i

f+gi=p−qi

​Therefore, the other solution of the given equation is p−qi.

Thus, it can be observed that the other solution must be p−qi

such that the sum and product of the solutions are equal to −b/a and c/a respectively.

The other solution of the equation must be p−qi because the sum and product of the solutions of the given equation are equal to −b/a and c/a respectively only if the two solutions are complex conjugates of each other.

To complete the square, first the equation is rewritten in the form x2+bx=c. Next, the value of b is identified, and (b/2)2 is calculated.

The value of (b/2)2 is added on both sides of the rewritten equation, and the left-side of the equation is factorized.

Finally, the definition of square root is used, and the equation is solved for the required values of x.

To use the quadratic formula, the equation is rewritten in the form ax2+bx+c=0 and the values of a,b,c are written. Then, the values of a,b,c

are substituted in the quadratic formula and the expression is simplified to determine the required values of x.

It can be observed that using the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic equation is much simpler and faster as compared to solving a quadratic equation by completing the square.

Thus, using the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic equation is much easier than completing the square.

Using the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic equation is much easier than completing the square because quadratic formula only requires to rewrite the equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0, identify the values of a,b,c, and substitute them into the quadratic formula to obtain the values of x.

The completing the square method takes much longer to solve and is more complex because it involves rewriting the equation in the form x2+bx=c, calculating (b/2)2, adding (b/2)2 on both sides, factoring the left-side, using the definition of square root, and finally, solving the resulting equation.

From the graph, it can be observed that the graph of f(x) and g(x)=−6

intersect each other at two points.

This means that x2+6x=−6 for two real values of x.

Adding 6 on both sides, the equation becomes x2+6x+6=0.

Therefore, the equation x2+6x+6=0 has two real solutions. This is because the value of g(x)

is greater than the minimum value of f(x), that is −9.

From the graph, it can be observed that the graph of f(x) and g(x)=−9 touch each other at one point.

This means that x2+6x=−9 for one real value of x.

Adding 9 on both sides, the equation becomes x2+6x+9=0.

Therefore, the equation x2+6x+9=0 has one real solution. This is because the value of g(x)

is equal to the minimum value of f(x), that is −9.

From the graph, it can be observed that the graph of f(x) and g(x)=−12 do not touch or intersect each other at any point.

This means that x2+6x=−12 for no real value of x.

Adding 12 on both sides, the equation becomes x2+6x+12=0.

Therefore, the equation x2+6x+12=0 has no real solution.

This is because the value of g(x) is less than the minimum value of f(x), that is −9.

Then, draw the graph of each g(x) on the given graph using horizontal lines.

Next, use the points of intersection of f(x) and g(x) to determine the number of points where they intersect.

Finally, use the points to determine the number of real solutions for each g(x), and thus the number of real solutions for each equation.

The first given quadratic equation is −1/2x2+3x−3=0.

Add 3 on both sides of the equation to rewrite it in the form ax2+bx=−c.

Therefore, the equation −1/2x2+3x−3=0 has two real solutions.

From the graph, it can be observed that the graph of f(x) and g(x)=9/2 touch each other at one point.

This means that −1/2x2+3x=9/2 for one real value of x.

Subtracting 9/2 from both sides, the equation becomes −1/2x2+3x−9/2=0.

Therefore, the equation −1/2x2+3x−9/2=0 has one real solution.

From the graph, it can be observed that the graph of f(x) and g(x)=6 do not touch or intersect each other at any point.

This means that −1/2x2+3x=6 for no real value of x.

Subtracting 6 from both sides, the equation becomes −1/2x2+3x−6=0.

Therefore, the equation −1/2x2+3x−6=0 has no real solution.

The equation −1/2x2+3x−3=0 has two real solutions.

This is because the equation can be written as −1/2x2+3x equal to 3, where the left-hand side represents the given function f(x), and the right-hand side represents the function g(x).

The equation has two real solutions because the graphs of f(x) and g(x) intersect at two points.

This is because the equation can be written as −1/2x2+3x equal to 9/2, where the left-hand side represents the given function f(x), and the right-hand side represents the function g(x).

The equation has one real solution because the graphs of f(x) and g(x) intersect at one point.

The equation −1/2x2+3x−6=0 has no real solution.

This is because the equation can be written as −1/2x2+3x equal to 6, where the left-hand side represents the given function f(x), and the right-hand side represents the function g(x).

The equation has no real solution because the graphs of f(x) and g(x) intersect at no points.

Therefore, the value of (b/2)2 is (−5/2)2=25/4.

Add the value of (b/2)2, that is 25/4, on both sides of equation (1).

Then, factorise the left-hand side expression using the algebraic identity a2−2ab+b2=(a−b)2, and simplify the right-hand side expression.

​x2−5x+25/4

=−20+25/4

(x−5/2)2=−20+25/4

(x−5/2)2=−55/4

Use the definition of square root to simplify (x−5/2)2=−55/4. Then, add 5/2 on both sides, and rewrite the expression using the imaginary unit i.

​(x−5/2)2=−55/4

x−5/2=±√−55/4

The given equation is 5x2−6x=8.

The question requires to solve the given equation by completing the square, and then state whether the obtained solutions are real or non-real.

To solve the equation by completing the square, rewrite the equation in the form x2+bx=c. Then, identify the value of b, and calculate (b/2)2.

Then, add (b/2)2 on both sides of the rewritten equation, factor the left-side expression using algebraic identities, and use the definition of square root.

Finally, solve the obtained equation to determine the required solutions, and observe them to state whether they are real or non-real.

Divide both sides of 5x2−6x=8 by 5.​

5x2−6x/5=8/5

x2−6/5

x=8/5……………(1)​

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation x2+bx=c, it can be determined that the value of b is −6/5.

Therefore, the value of (b/2)2 is (−6/5)(2/2)=(−3/5)2, that is 9/25.

Add the value of (b/2)2, that is 9/25, on both sides of equation (1).

Then, factorise the left-hand side expression using the algebraic identity a2−2ab+b2=(a−b)2, and simplify the right-hand side expression.

​x2−6/5

x+9/25=8/5+925

(x−3/5)2=8/5+9/25

(x−3/5)2=49/25

Use the definition of square root to simplify (x−3/5)2=49/25, and then add 3/5 on both sides.​

(x−3/5)2=49/25

x−3/5=±√49/25

x=3/5±√49/25

Apply the quotient property of square roots, and then simplify the square roots.​

x=3/5±√49/√25

x=3/5±7/5

When x is equal to 3/5−7/5, the simplified value of x is 3−7/5, that is −4/5.

When x is equal to 3/5+7/5, the simplified value of x is 3+7/5=10/5, that is 2.

Therefore, the required solutions are x=−4/5 and x=2.

It can be observed that the solutions do not contain the square root of a negative number, or the imaginary unit i.

Therefore, the solutions are real.

The required solutions are x=−4/5 and x=2.

The solutions are real.

Quadratic Equations in HMH Algebra 2 (1st Edition, Module 3, Chapter 3, Exercise 3.3) Page 151 Problem 29 Answer

The given equation is −x2+2x−3=0. Also, a student’s attempt at solving the equation by completing the square is given.

The question requires to determine the error in the student’s solution, and correct it.

To find and correct the error, observe the solution and determine whether the student has correctly written the equation in the form x2+bx=c before factoring the left side of the equation, and observe whether the factoring is correct.

Then, rewrite the equation in the form x2+bx=c. Then, identify the value of b, and calculate (b/2)2.

Then, add (b/2)2 on both sides of the rewritten equation, factor the left-side expression using algebraic identities, and use the definition of square root.

Finally, solve the obtained equation to determine the correct solutions of the given equation.

When solving a quadratic equation by completing the square, the quadratic equation is written in the form x2+bx=c before factoring the left side of the equation.

It can be observed that in the student’s solution, the quadratic equation is written as −x2+2x=3 before factoring the left side of the equation.

The coefficient of x2 in the rewritten equation is −1, instead of 1.

Therefore, the error in the solution is that the student has not written the quadratic equation in the form x2+bx=c before factoring the left side of the equation.

Multiply both sides of −x2+2x−3=0 by −1, and then subtract 3 from both sides.

​−1(−x2+2x−3)=−1(0)

x2−2x+3=0

x2−2x=−3……………(1)

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation x2+bx=c, it can be determined that the value of b is −2.

Therefore, the value of (b/2)2 is (−2/2)2

=(−1)2, that is 1.

Add the value of (b/2)2, that is 1, on both sides of equation (1).

Then, factorise the left-hand side expression using the algebraic identity a2−2ab+b2=(a−b)2, and simplify the right-hand side expression.

​x2−2x+1=−3+1

(x−1)2=−3+1

(x−1)2=−2

​Use the definition of square root to simplify (x−1)2=−2.

Then, add 1 on both sides, and rewrite the expression using the imaginary unit i.

​(x−1)2=−2

x−1=±√−2

x=1±√−2

x=1±i√2

Therefore, the correct solutions are x=1+i√2 and x=1−i√2.

The error in the solution is that the student has not written the quadratic equation in the form x2+bx=c before factoring the left side of the equation.

The given equation is x2+8x+c0.

The question requires to determine the values of c for which the given equation has one real solution, two real solutions, and two non-real solutions.

To determine the values, compare the equation to ax2+bx+c=0 and identify the values of a,b,c. Then, calculate the discriminant of the equation.

Next, take the case where the equation has one real solution, equate the determinant to 0, and solve the equation to determine the value of c.

Similarly, take the cases where the equation has two real or two non-real solutions, form inequalities using the determinant and the number 0, and solve them to determine the values of c for which the equation has two real or two non-real solutions.

It can be observed that the given equation is a quadratic equation of the form ax2+bx+c=0.

Comparing the given equation to the equation ax2+bx+c=0, it can be determined that the values of a,b,c are 1,8,c respectively.

Substitute 1 for a and 8 for b in the formula for discriminant b2−4ac, and multiply the terms.

​b2−4ac=(8)2

−4(1)(c)

=64−4c

The discriminant is equal to 64−4c.

First case: The given equation has one real solution.

If the quadratic equation has one real solution, then the discriminant 64−4c is equal to 0.

Add 4c on both sides of 64−4c=0, and then divide both sides by 4.

​64−4c=0

64=4c

16=c

Therefore, the given equation has one real solution if c=16.

Second case: The given equation has two real solutions.

If the quadratic equation has two real solutions, then the discriminant 64−4c is greater than 0.

Add 4c on both sides of 64−4c>0, and then divide both sides by 4.

​64−4c>0

64>4c

16>c

Therefore, the given equation has two real solutions if c<16.

Third case: The given equation has two non-real solutions. If the quadratic equation has two non-real solutions, then the discriminant 64−4cis less than 0.

Add 4c on both sides of 64−4c<0, and then divide both sides by 4.

​64−4c<0

64<4c

16<c

Therefore, the given equation has two non-real solutions if c>16.

The given equation has one real solution if c=16. two real solutions if c<16, and two non-real solutions if c>16.

Quadratic Equations in HMH Algebra 2 (1st Edition, Module 3, Chapter 3, Exercise 3.3) Page 152 Exercise 1 Answer

It is given that the projectile motion model h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 models the ball’s height in t seconds, where v0 is the initial vertical velocity in feet per second, and h0 is the initial height in feet.

Also, it is given that the ball is hit when it is 4 feet above the ground, and it travelled vertically after being hit at the speed 80 feet per second.

Matt’s claim is that the ball must have reached the height 110 feet.

The question requires to model the ball’s height using the given information, and then use the model to determine whether Matt’s claim is correct or not.

To answer the question, use the initial vertical velocity and initial height of the ball in the projectile equation to determine the model for the ball’s height.

Next, let the height h(t) be equal to 110 feet.

Then, use the model and the height to form a quadratic equation in terms of t.

Next, compare the equation to at2+bt+c=0 and identify the values of a,b, and c.

Finally, determine the discriminant of the equation to determine whether the solutions are real or non-real, and thus, determine whether it is possible for the ball to reach a height of 110 feet.

The initial vertical velocity of the ball is the speed at which it travelled vertically after being hit, that is 80 feet per second.

The initial height of the ball is the height at which it is hit, that is 4 feet.

Substitute 80 for v0 and 4 for h0 in the projectile motion model h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0.

h(t)=−16t2+80t+4

Thus, the model for the height of the ball in t seconds is h(t)=−16t2+80t+4.

Let the height of the ball be 110 feet. Therefore, h(t)=110.

Substitute −16t2+80t+4 for h(t) in h(t)=110, and subtract 110 from both sides.

​−16t2+80t+4=110

−16t2+80t−106=0……………(1)

The equation based on Matt’s claim is −16t2+80t−106=0.

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation at2+bt+c=0, it can be determined that the values of a,b,c are −16,80,−106 respectively.

Substitute −16 for a, 80 for b, and −106 for c in the formula for discriminant b2−4ac. Then, multiply the terms, and subtract the terms.

​b2−4ac=(80)2−4(−16)(−106)

=6400−6784

=−384

The discriminant is equal to −384, which is less than 0.

This means that the equation −16t2+80t−106=0 has two non-real solutions.

Therefore, there is no real value of t for which the height of the ball is equal to 110 feet.

Thus, the ball cannot reach the height equal to 110 feet, and Matt’s claim is not correct.

The model for the height of the ball in t seconds is h(t)=−16t2+80t+4.

The equation based on Matt’s claim is −16t2+80t−106=0.

Matt’s claim is not correct. The ball cannot reach the height equal to 110 feet.

Quadratic Equations in HMH Algebra 2 (1st Edition, Module 3, Chapter 3, Exercise 3.3) Page 152 Exercise 2 Answer

It is given that the projectile motion model h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 models the ball’s height in t seconds, where v0 is the initial vertical velocity in feet per second, and h0 is the initial height in feet.

Also, it is given that the ball is hit when it is 4 feet above the ground, and it travelled vertically after being hit at the speed 80 feet per second.

The question requires to determine whether the ball reaches a height of 100 feet or not, and explain the reasoning.

Given that the model for the height of the ball in t seconds is h(t)=−16t2+80t+4, as determined in the previous part of this exercise.

To answer the question, let the height h(t) be equal to 100 feet. Then, use the model and the height to form a quadratic equation in terms of t.

Next, compare the equation to at2+bt+c=0 and identify the values of a,b, and c.

Finally, determine the discriminant of the equation to determine whether the solutions are real or non-real, and thus, determine whether it is possible for the ball to reach a height of 100 feet.

Let the height of the ball be 100 feet. Therefore, h(t)=100.

Substitute −16t2+80t+4 for h(t) in h(t)=100, and subtract 100 from both sides.​

−16t2+80t+4=100

−16t2+80t−96=0……………(1)

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation at2+bt+c=0, it can be determined that the values of a,b,c are −16,80,−96 respectively.

Substitute −16 for a, 80 for b, and −96 for c in the formula for discriminant b2−4ac. Then, multiply the terms, and subtract the terms.

​b2−4ac=(80)2

−4(−16)(−96)

=6400−6144

=256

The discriminant is equal to 256, which is greater than 0.

This means that the equation h(t)=100 has two real solutions.

Therefore, there is some real value of t for which the height of the ball is equal to 100 feet.

Thus, the ball does reach a height of 100 feet.

The ball does reach a height of 100 feet. This is because the quadratic equation −16t2+80t−96=0

representing the height of the ball as 100

feet has two real solutions. There exists some real value of t for which the height of the ball is equal to 100 feet.

Quadratic Equations in HMH Algebra 2 (1st Edition, Module 3, Chapter 3, Exercise 3.3) Page 152 Exercise 3 Answer

It is given that the projectile motion model h(t)=−16t2+v0t+h0 models the ball’s height in t seconds, where v0 is the initial vertical velocity in feet per second, and h0

is the initial height in feet. Also, it is given that the ball is hit when it is 4 feet above the ground, and it travelled vertically after being hit at the speed 80 feet per second.

Also, hmax represents the maximum height of the ball.

The question requires to show how the value of hmax can be found using the discriminant of the quadratic formula.

Given that the model for the height of the ball in t seconds is h(t)=−16t2+80t+4, as determined in part (a) of this exercise.

To determine the maximum height, let the height h(t) be equal to hmax.

Then, use the model and the height to form a quadratic equation in terms of t.

Next, compare the equation to at2+bt+c=0 and identify the values of a,b, and c.

Then, determine the discriminant of the equation and equate it to 0 to form a linear equation in terms of hmax.

Finally, solve the equation for hmax to determine the maximum height, and explain how it is calculated.

Let the height of the ball be maximum. Therefore, h(t)=hmax.

Substitute −16t2+80t+4 for h(t) in h(t)=hmax, and subtract hmax from both sides.​

−16t2+80t+4=hmax

−16t2+80t+(4−hmax)=0……………(1)

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation at2+bt+c=0, it can be determined that the values of a,b,c are −16,80,4−hmax respectively.

Substitute −16 for a, 80 for b, and 4−hmax for c in the formula for discriminant b2−4ac. Then, multiply the terms, and combine the terms.

​b2−4ac=(80)2−4(−16)(4−hmax)

=6400+256−64hmax

=6656−64hmax

The discriminant is equal to 6656−64hmax.

The solutions of the equation −16t2+80t+(4−hmax)=0 represent the time at which the ball reaches the maximum height.

The ball reaches the maximum height only once. This is because after reaching the maximum height, it starts falling down.

Therefore, the equation −16t2+80t+(4−hmax)=0 has only one real solution.

Thus, the discriminant of the equation should be equal to 0.

Equate the discriminant 6656−64hmax to 0, add 64hmax on both sides, and divide both sides by 64.

6656−64hmax=0

6656=64hmax

6656/64=hmax

104=hmax

Therefore, the maximum height of the ball is 104 feet.

Thus, the maximum height is calculated by using the model and the maximum height to form the equation −16t2+80t+(4−hmax)=0, calculating the discriminant and equating it to 0, and finally solving the resulting linear equation for hmax.

The ball does reach a maximum height of 104 feet.

This is calculated by writing the equation −16t2 +80t+(4−hmax)=0 using the given model, calculating the discriminant of the equation, equating the discriminant to 0, and solving the resulting equation for hmax.

The discriminant of the equation is equated to 0 because the ball reaches the maximum height only once.

Given that the maximum height of the ball is 104 feet, as determined in the previous part of this exercise.

To answer the question, let the height h(t) be equal to the maximum height of 104 feet.

Then, use the model and the height to form a quadratic equation in terms of t, and compare the equation to at2+bt+c=0 to identify the values of a,b,c.

Finally, use the quadratic formula, and simplify the expression to determine the time when the ball reaches its maximum height.

Let the height of the ball be the maximum height of 104 feet. Therefore, h(t)=104.

Substitute −16t2+80t+4 for h(t) in h(t)=104, and subtract 104 from both sides.

​−16t2+80t+4=104

−16t2+80t−100=0……………(1)

Comparing the equation (1) to the equation at2+bt+c=0, it can be determined that the values of a,b,c are −16,80,−100 respectively.

Substitute −16 for a, 80 for b, and −100 for c

in the quadratic formula t=−b±√b2−4ac/2a.

Then, multiply the terms, combine the terms in the square root, and simplify the expression.

t=−(80)±√(80)2−4(−16)(−100)/2(−16)

t=−80±√6400−6400/−32

t=−80±√0/−32

t=−80/−32

t=2.5

Therefore, the time in which the ball reaches its maximum height is 2.5 seconds.

The ball reaches the maximum height in 2.5 seconds.

Assume the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0. First, the quadratic equation is rewritten in the form x2+b/a

x+c/a=0 by division, such that the coefficient of x2 is 1.Then, the constant in the quadratic equation is identified, that is the value of c/a.

Then, the pair of factors of the constant c/a are written. Next, the pair of factors whose sum is equal to coefficient of the middle term is chosen.

In the rewritten quadratic equation, the coefficient of the middle term is b/a.

Therefore, if there is a pair of factors p and q of the constant c/a, that is pq=c/a, then the sum of the factors p and q is b/a.

This means that if there is no pair of factors of the constant c/a whose sum is not equal to the coefficient of the middle term is b/a, then the quadratic equation cannot be solved by factoring.

Thus, a quadratic equation of the form x2+bx+c=0 can be solved by factoring only if there exists a pair of factors of the constant whose sum is equal to the coefficient of the middle term.

It is possible to solve a quadratic equation by factoring if there exists a pair of factors of the constant whose sum is equal to the coefficient of the middle term.

The question requires to solve the given equation by factoring it.

To solve the equation, first rewrite the given equation in standard form using subtraction.

Then, write the pair of factors of the constant, and identify the pair of factors whose sum is equal to the coefficient of the middle term.

Then, factorise the left-hand side of the quadratic equation, solve it to obtain the values of x, and thus, obtain the required solutions.

Subtract 30 from both sides of x2+x=30.​

x2+x−30=30−30

x2+x−30=0

Thus, the given quadratic equation becomes x2+x−30=0.

The constant in the quadratic equation x2+x−30=0 is −30.

Write the pair of factors of the constant −30.

1 and −30

2 and −15

3 and −10

5 and −6

6 and −5

10 and −3

15 and −2

30 and −1

It can be observed that the sum of the pair of factors 6 and −5 is equal to the coefficient of the middle term in the rewritten quadratic equation x2+x−30=0, that is 1.

Therefore, the left-hand side of the rewritten quadratic equation can be factorised as (x+6)(x−5).

Thus, the equation becomes (x+6)(x−5)=0.

The equation (x+6)(x−5)=0 is true only when either x+6 is equal to 0, or x−5 is equal to 0.

When x+6 is equal to 0, the value of x is equal to −6.

When x−5 is equal to 0, the value of x is equal to 5.

Thus, the required solutions are x=−6 and x=5.

The required solutions are x=−6 and x=5.

The given equation is x2−5x=24.

The question requires to solve the given equation by factoring it.

To solve the equation, first rewrite the given equation in standard form using subtraction.

Then, write the pair of factors of the constant, and identify the pair of factors whose sum is equal to the coefficient of the middle term.

Then, factorise the left-hand side of the quadratic equation, solve it to obtain the values of x, and thus, obtain the required solutions.

Subtract 24 from both sides of x2−5x=24.

​x2−5x−24=24−24

x2−5x−24=0

Thus, the given quadratic equation becomes x2−5x−24=0

The constant in the quadratic equation x2−5x−24=0 is −24.

Write the pair of factors of the constant −24.

1 and −24

2 and −12

3 and −8

4 and −6

6 and −4

8 and −3

12 and −2

24 and −1

It can be observed that the sum of the pair of factors 3 and −8 is equal to the coefficient of the middle term in the rewritten quadratic equation x2−5x−24=0, that is −5.

Therefore, the left-hand side of the rewritten quadratic equation can be factorised as (x+3)(x−8).

Thus, the equation becomes (x+3)(x−8)=0.

The equation (x+3)(x−8)=0 is true only when either x+3 is equal to 0, or x−8 is equal to 0.

When x+3 is equal to 0, the value of x is equal to −3.

When x−8 is equal to 0, the value of x is equal to 8.

Thus, the required solutions are x=−3 and x=8.

The required solutions are x=−3 and x=8.

A complex number is a number that is of the form a+bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is the imaginary unit equal to √−1.

Consider the two arbitrary complex numbers a+bi and c+di.The sum of the two complex numbers can be written as (a+bi)+(c+di)

. In the sum, the terms a and c, and the terms bi and di are like terms.By grouping the like terms, the sum can be written as (a+bi)+(c+di)=(a+c)+(bi+di).

The right-hand side of the sum can be simplified by combining the like terms in the parentheses to find the simplified sum of the two complex numbers.

The difference of the two complex numbers can be written as (a+bi)−(c+di). In the difference, the terms a and c, and the terms bi and di are like terms.

By grouping the like terms, the difference can be written as (a+bi)−(c+di)=(a−c)+(bi−di).

The right-hand side of the difference can be simplified by combining the like terms in the parentheses to find the simplified difference of the two complex numbers.

Thus, the sum and difference of two complex numbers can be determined by grouping the like terms, that is the real parts and the imaginary parts, and then combining the like terms.

When a+bi and c+di are multiplied using the distributive property of multiplication, the product is (a+bi)(c+di)=ac+adi+bci+bdi2.Using the value of i2 and simplifying the expression, the resulting expression is (a+bi)(c+di)=ac+(ad+bc)i−bd.

The right-hand side of the equation can be grouped as (ac−bd)+(ad+bc)i.

Thus, the product of two complex numbers can be determined by using the distributive property of multiplication, combining the like terms, and then using the value of i2 to simplify the product.

A number is called a complex number if it can be written in the form a+bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is the imaginary unit equal to √−1.

Two complex numbers can be added or subtracted by writing the expression for the sum or difference, grouping the like terms, that is the real parts and the imaginary parts, and then combining the like terms.

The given diagram shows the components in a circuit. The given current I is 24+12i amps.

The question requires to determine the voltage of each component of the circuit.

To determine the voltage of each component, use the diagram to write the impedance of each component.

Then, use the impedance and current in the Ohm’s law to determine the required voltage of each component.

From the circuit diagram, it can be observed that the resistor is labelled 4 ohms.

Therefore, the impedance of the resistor can be represented by the complex number 4.

The inductor is labelled 3 ohms. Therefore, the impedance of the inductor can be represented by the complex number 3i.

The capacitor is labelled 5 ohms. Therefore, the impedance of the capacitor can be represented by the complex number −5i.

Substitute 24+12i for I and 4 for Z in the Ohm’s law V=I⋅Z, and multiply the terms.​

V=(24+12i)(4)

=96+48i

Thus, the voltage of the resistor is 96+48i volts.

Substitute 24+12i for I and 3i for Z in the Ohm’s law V=I⋅Z, and multiply the terms, and substitute −1 for i2.

V=(24+12i)(3i)

=72i+36i2

Thus, the voltage of the inductor is −36+72i volts.

Substitute 24+12i for I and −5i for Z in the Ohm’s law V=I⋅Z, and multiply the terms, and substitute 1 for i2.​

V=(24+12i)(−5i)

=−120i−60i2

Given that the voltage of the resistor, inductor, and capacitor are 96+48i volts, −36+72i volts, and 60−120i volts respectively, as determined in part B of example 4.

To determine the sum of voltages, add the voltages by grouping the like terms and combining them.

Then, compare the sum to the voltage across the power source and write what is noticed.

It is given that a second resistor with impedance equal to 2 ohms is added to the circuit diagram given in example 4. The given current I is 18+6i amps.

The question requires to determine the total impedance, and then determine the voltage of each component of the circuit.

To determine the total impedance and voltage of each component, use the diagram to write the impedance of each component as a complex number.

Then, add the complex numbers to determine the total impedance.

Next, use the impedance and current in the Ohm’s law to determine the required voltage of each component.

From the circuit diagram, it can be observed that the first resistor has the impedance 4 ohms.

Therefore, the impedance of the first resistor can be represented by the complex number 4.

The inductor has the impedance 3 ohms. Therefore, the impedance of the inductor can be represented by the complex number 3i.

The capacitor has the impedance 5 ohms. Therefore, the impedance of the capacitor can be represented by the complex number −5i.

The second resistor has the impedance 2 ohms. Therefore, the impedance of the second resistor can be represented by the complex number 2.

The total impedance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the impedances of the four components.

Write the sum of the impedances of the four components, group the real and imaginary parts in the sum, and then combine the like terms.​

4+3i+(−5i)+2=(4+2)+(3i−5i)

=6−2i

Thus, the total impedance is 6−2i ohms.

Substitute 18+6i for I and 4 for Z in the Ohm’s law V=I⋅Z, and multiply the terms.​

V=(18+6i)(4)

=72+24i

Thus, the voltage of the first resistor is 72+24i volts.

Substitute 18+6i for I and 2 for Z in the Ohm’s law V=I⋅Z, and multiply the terms.​

V=(18+6i)(2)

=36+12i

Thus, the voltage of the second resistor is 36+12i volts.

Substitute 18+6i for I and 3i for Z in the Ohm’s law V=I⋅Z, and multiply the terms, and substitute −1 for i2.

V=(18+6i)(3i)

=54i+18i2

=54i+18(−1)

=−18+54i

Thus, the voltage of the inductor is −18+54i volts.

Substitute 18+6i for I and −5i for Z in the Ohm’s law V=I⋅Z, and multiply the terms, and substitute −1 for i2.

V=(18+6i)(−5i)

=−90i−30i2

=−90i−30(−1)

=30−90i​

Take the two arbitrary complex numbers a+bi and c+di.When a+bi and c+di are added, the sum is (a+bi)+(c+di)=(a+c)+(b+d)i, which is a complex number.

The sum (a+c)+(b+d)i is a real number only if the imaginary part (b+d) is equal to 0.

The imaginary part (b+d) is the sum of the imaginary parts of the complex numbers a+bi and c+di.

Therefore, the sum of two complex numbers is a real number only when the sum of their imaginary parts is equal to 0.

The sum (a+c)+(b+d)i is an imaginary number only if the real part (a+c) is equal to 0.

The real part (a+c) is the sum of the real parts of the complex numbers a+bi and c+di.

Therefore, the sum of two complex numbers is an imaginary number only when the sum of their real parts is equal to 0.

The sum of two complex numbers is a real number only when the sum of the imaginary parts of the two complex numbers is equal to 0.

The sum of two complex numbers is an imaginary number only when the sum of the real parts of the two complex numbers is equal to 0.

Page 133 Problem 19 Answer

Consider the two arbitrary binomial linear expressions a+bx and c+dx.

When a+bx and c+dx are multiplied using the distributive property of multiplication, the product is(a+bx)(c+dx)=ac+adx+bcx+bdx2.

Grouping the like terms, the resulting product is (a+bx)(c+dx)=ac+(ad+bc)x+bdx2.

Consider the two arbitrary complex numbers a+bi and c+di.When a+bi and c+di are multiplied using the distributive property of multiplication, the product is (a+bi)(c+di)=ac+adi+bci+bdi2.

Using the value of i2 and simplifying the expression, the resulting expression is (a+bi)(c+di)=ac+(ad+bc)i−bd.

The right-hand side of the equation can be grouped as (ac−bd)+(ad+bc)i, which is a complex number.

It can be observed that in the multiplication of two binomial linear expressions in the same variable, and in the multiplication of two complex numbers, first the distributive property of multiplication is used, and then the like terms are grouped and simplified.

Also, it can be observed that in the multiplication of two complex numbers, the result obtained after using the distributive property of multiplication and grouping the terms can be simplified further using the value i2=−1.

The product of two binomial linear expressions lacks the square of the imaginary unit, that is i2, and thus, it cannot be simplified further.

The similarities between multiplying two complex numbers and multiplying two binomial linear expressions in the same variable are:

Both involve the application of the distributive property of multiplication (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd

.Both involve grouping and combining the like terms after using the distributive property of multiplication.

The difference between multiplying two complex numbers and multiplying two binomial linear expressions in the same variable is that the result obtained after using the distributive property of multiplication and grouping the terms in the multiplication of two complex numbers can be simplified further using the value i2=−1.

This is not possible when multiplying two binomial linear expressions because their product does not contain the square i2.

To answer the question, take two arbitrary complex numbers that differ only in the sign of their imaginary parts.

Then, write their product as a difference of squares, and use the value of i2 to determine what type of number the product is.

Next, calculate the product of the two complex numbers using the distributive property of multiplication and the value of i2 to prove the conjecture.

Let the two complex numbers be a+bi and a−bi which differ only in the sign of their imaginary parts.

The product of a+bi and a−bi can be written as the difference of squares a2−(bi)2, which can be simplified as a2−b2i     .

The expressions a2 and b2i2 are real because a and b are real, and i2 is equal to −1. This means that the difference of squares a2−(bi)2 is a real number.

Therefore, the product of a+bi and a−bi is a real number.

Thus, the product of two complex numbers that differ only in the sign of their imaginary parts is a real number.

Write the product of a+bi and a−bi, and apply the distributive property of multiplication. Then, combine the like terms, substitute −1 for i2, and then simplify the expression.

​(a+bi)(a−bi)=a2−abi+abi−b2i2

=a2−b2i2

=a2−b2(−1)

=a2+b2

The product a2+b2 is real because a and b are real.

Therefore, the product of the complex numbers a+bi and a−bi is a real number.

Hence, it is proved that the product of two complex numbers that differ only in the sign of their imaginary parts is a real number.

The product of two complex numbers that differ only in the sign of their imaginary parts is a real number.

The conjecture ‘the product of two complex numbers that differ only in the sign of their imaginary parts is a real number’ is proved.

The square root of any negative number is an imaginary number.

These numbers are not real numbers, and are of the form bi, where b is a real nonzero number, and i is the imaginary unit equal to √−1.

The quadratic equations of the form x2=−a, where a is positive and real, cannot be solved because the square x2 cannot be negative for any real value of x.

Such a quadratic equation can be solved using imaginary numbers by using the definition of square root to rewrite the equation as x=±√−a, and then rewriting ±√−a as the imaginary solutions ±i√a.

If x is negative real number, then the square root √x is called an imaginary number. Imaginary numbers are the non-real numbers of the form bi, where b is a real nonzero number, and i  is the imaginary unit equal to √−1.

If a quadratic equation is of the form x2=−a, where a is a real positive number, then imaginary numbers can be used to solve the equation by using the definition of square root to rewrite the equation as x=±√−a, and then rewriting ±√−a using the imaginary unit i to obtain the solutions ±i√a.

HMH Algebra 2 Volume 1 1st Edition Module 3 Chapter 3 Exercise 3.1 Quadratic Equations Page 115 Problem 18 Answer

It is given that a water balloon is dropped from the rooftop of a five-story building, which is 50

feet above the ground. Also, it is given that the third-story window is at 24 feet above the ground.

The question requires to determine the time taken by the water balloon to pass by the third-story window.

It is required to write the equation, solve it, and write the exact and if the answer is irrational, also write the decimal approximation of the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

To determine the time, write an equation modelling the height of the water balloon using the initial height and the equation h(t)=h0−16t2.

Then, substitute the required height as 24, and solve the equation for t2.

Finally, use the definition of square root, and apply the quotient property to obtain the value of t, and thus, the required time to the nearest tenth.

The given situation can be modelled using the equation h(t)=h0−16t2, where h(t) is the height of the water balloon after t seconds, and h0 is the initial height of the water balloon.

Since the water balloon is dropped from the rooftop, the initial height of the water balloon is h0=50 ft.

The required height of the water balloon is h(t)=24 feet above the ground.

Substitute h0−16t2 for h(t) and then 50 for h0 in h(t)=24.​

h0−16t2=24

50−16t2=24​

Subtract 50 from both sides of 50−16t2=24, and then divide both sides by −16.​

−16t2=−26

t2=−26/−16

t2=26/16​

Use the definition of square root to simplify t2=26/16, apply the quotient property of square roots, and simplify the square root in the denominator.​

t=±√26/16

t=±√26/√16

t=±√26/4

The time taken by the water balloon to reach the required height cannot be negative.

Therefore, t=√26/4.

Thus, the water balloon passes by the third-story window after √26/4 ≈ 1.3 seconds.

The equation modelling the given situation is 50−16t2=24.

The required time in which water balloon passes by the third-story window is √26/4≈1.3 seconds.

It is given that a water balloon is dropped from the rooftop of a five-story building, which is 50 feet above the ground.

Also, it is given that the third-story window is at 24 feet above the ground.

The question requires to determine the time taken by the water balloon to hit the ground.

It is required to write the equation, solve it, and write the exact and if the answer is irrational, also write the decimal approximation of the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

To determine the time, write an equation modelling the height of the water balloon using the initial height and the equation h(t)=h0−16t2.

Then, substitute the required height as 0 ft, and solve the equation for t2.

Finally, use the definition of square root, and apply the product property and quotient property to obtain the value of t, and thus, the required time to the nearest tenth.

The given situation can be modelled using the equation h(t)=h0−16t2, where h(t)

is the height of the water balloon after t seconds, and h0 is the initial height of the water balloon.

Since the water balloon is dropped from the rooftop, the initial height of the water balloon is h0=50 ft.

When the water balloon hits the ground, the height of the balloon is 0 ft.

Therefore, the required height of the water balloon is h(t)=0 feet above the ground.Substitute h0−16t2 for h(t) and then 50 for h0 in h(t)=0.​

h0−16t2=0

50−16t2=0​

Subtract 50 from both sides of 50−16t2=0, and then divide both sides by −16.​

−16t2=−50

t2=−50/−16

t2=50/16​

Use the definition of square root to simplify t2=50/16, and apply the quotient property of square roots.

Then, apply the product property of square roots in the numerator and simplify the square root in the denominator.​

t=±√50/16

t=±√50/√16

t=±√25⋅√2/4

t=±5√2/4

The time taken by the water balloon to hit the ground cannot be negative.

Therefore, t=5√2/4.

Thus, the water balloon hits the ground in 5√2/4 ≈ 1.8 seconds.

The equation modelling the given situation is 50−16t2=0.

The required time in which water balloon hits the ground is 5√2/4 ≈ 1.8 seconds.

It is given that the function d(t)=8/3t2  models the distance d in feet that an object falls in t seconds on the moon. Also, it is given that a tool is dropped by an astronaut on the moon.

The question requires to determine the time taken by the tool to fall feet.

It is required to write the equation, solve it, and write the exact and if the answer is irrational, also write the decimal approximation of the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

To determine the time, substitute the distance as 4 ft in the given equation, and solve the equation for t2.

Then, use the definition of square root, and apply the product property and quotient property to obtain the value of t, and thus, the required time to the nearest tenth.

The distance that the tool falls is d(t)=4 feet.Substitute 8/3t2 for d(t) in d(t)=4, and then multiply both sides by 3/8.​

8/3t2=43/8⋅8/3

t2=3/8⋅4

t2=3/2

Use the definition of square root to simplify t2=3/2, and apply the quotient property of square roots.​

t=±√3/2

t=±√3/√2

Multiply and divide the right-hand side of the equation by √2 to rationalize the denominator.

Then, simplify the square root in the denominator, and use the product property of square roots to simplify the numerator.​

t=±√3/√2⋅√2/√2

t=±√3⋅√2/2

t=±√6/2

The time taken by the tool to fall a certain distance cannot be negative.

Therefore, t=√6/2.

Thus, the tool falls 4 feet in √6/2 ≈ 1.2 seconds.

The equation for the given situation is 8/3t2=4.

The required time taken by the tool to fall 4 feet is √6/2 ≈ 1.2 seconds.

Page 118 Problem 22

The square of i is given by the equation −1=i2.Rewriting the left-hand side of the equation as a square, the equation becomes (√−1)2=i2.

Using the definition of square root, the equation can be simplified to √−1=±√i2.

Simplifying the right-hand side of this equation, the equation becomes √−1=±i.

Therefore, the positive square root of −1 is i, and the negative square root of −1 is −i.

Thus, the other square root of −1 is −i.

The other square root of −1 is −i because the equation (√−1)2=i2 can be written as √−1=±√i2

using the definition of square root, which implies that the positive square root of −1 is i, and the negative square root of −1 is −i.

=−4

Thus, the square of −2i is −4.

The required square of −2i is −4.

Assume the imaginary number bi. The square of this number is equal to (bi)2, which can be rewritten as b2/i2 using the product property of exponents.

The expression b2 is always positive because b is a real nonzero number. The expression i2 is the square of √−1.

Therefore, i2 is always equal to the negative number −1.

The product b2/i2 of the positive number b2 and the negative number i2 is always negative.

Thus, the expression (bi)2, that is the square of the imaginary number bi, is always negative.

The square of an imaginary number is always negative.

Assume the negative number −b. Here, b is a real nonzero number.The square of the negative number −b is √−b.

The negative number −b can be written as the product of −1 and the real nonzero number b.

Therefore, the square root √−b can be written as √(−1)(b).

Using the product property of square roots, √(−1)(b) can be written as the product of the real number √b, and the imaginary number √−1.

Therefore, √−b =√−1⋅√b.

Rewriting √−1 as the imaginary unit i, the square root of −b becomes √−b=i√b.

Thus, the square root i√b of the negative number −b is obtained by using the definition of square root, rewriting the negative number as the product of −1 and a real number, and then using the product property of square roots.

To find the square roots of a negative number:

First, use the definition of square root, and rewrite the negative number in the square root as the as the product of −1 and a real number.

Next, use the product property of square roots to rewrite the square root as the product of a real square root, and the square root √−1.

It is given that a squirrel drops an acorn from a tree.

The question requires to determine the time taken by the acorn to fall 20 feet.

It is required to write the equation, solve it, and write the exact and if the answer is irrational, also write the decimal approximation of the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

To determine the time, write an equation modelling the distance that the acorn falls using the equation d(t)=16t2.

Then, substitute the required distance fallen as 20, and solve the equation for t2.

Finally, use the definition of square root, and apply the quotient property to obtain the value of t, and thus, the required time to the nearest tenth.

The given situation can be modelled using the equation d(t)=16t2, where d(t) is the distance that the acorn falls in t seconds.

The distance that the acorn falls is d(t)=20 feet.

Substitute 16t2 for d(t) in d(t)=20.

16t2=20 Divide both sides of 16t2=20 by 16.​

It is given that a window washer drops a squeegee from 60 feet. Also, it is given that another window washer is working squeegee 20 feet above the ground.

The question requires to determine the time taken by the squeegee to pass by the second window washer.

It is required to write the equation, solve it, and write the exact and if the answer is irrational, also write the decimal approximation of the answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

To determine the time, write an equation modelling the height of the squeegee using the initial height and the equation h(t)=h0−16t2.

Then, substitute the required height as 20, and solve the equation for t2.

Finally, use the definition of square root, and apply the quotient property to obtain the value of t, and thus, the required time to the nearest tenth.

The given situation can be modelled using the equation h(t)=h0−16t2, where h(t) is the height of the squeegee after t seconds, and h0 is the initial height of the squee gee.

Since the squeegee is dropped from 60 feet, the initial height of the squeegee is h0=60 ft.

The required height of the squeegee is h(t)=20 feet above the ground.

Substitute h0−16t2 for h(t) and then 60 for h0 in h(t)=20.

​h0−16t2=20

60−16t2=20​

Subtract 60 from both sides of 60−16t2=20, and then divide both sides by −16.​

−16t2=−40

t2=−40

−16t2=10/4

Use the definition of square root to simplify t2=10/4, apply the quotient property of square roots, and simplify the square root in the denominator.

t=±√10/4

t=±√10/√4

t=±√10/2​

Therefore, t=√10/2.

Thus, the squeegee passes by the second window washer in √10/2≈1.6 seconds.

The equation modelling the given situation is 60−16t2=20.

The required time taken by the squeegee to pass by the second window washer is √10/2≈1.6 seconds.

The given figures show the lengths of the sides of two squares. It is given that the area of the larger square is 42 cm2 greater than the area of the smaller square.

The question requires to determine the lengths of the sides of the squares, and write the exact answer and the approximate answer to the nearest tenth.

To determine the lengths, use the formula for area and the given dimensions to write the areas of the squares.

Then, use the given information and the expression for the areas to form an equation modelling the given situation.

Then, solve the equation for x2, and use the definition of square root to obtain the value of x.

Finally, use the obtained value in the expressions for the lengths of the sides of the two squares to determine the exact answer and approximate answer to the nearest tenth.

From the figure, it can be observed that the length of the side of the larger and smaller square are 2x cm and x cm respectively.

Therefore, the areas of the larger square and smaller square are (2x)2 sq. cm and (x)2 sq. cm respectively.

The area of the larger square, that is (2x)2, is 42 cm2 more than the area of the smaller square, that is (x)2.

Therefore, (2x)2=42+(x)2.

Simplify the equation (2x)2=42+(x)2, and subtract x2 from both sides.

(2x)2=42+(x)2

4x2=42+x2

3x2=42​

Divide both sides of 3x2=42 by 3, and use the definition of square root to simplify the equation.​

3x2/3=42

3x2=14

x=±√14

The length of the side of the smaller square, that is x, cannot be negative.

Therefore, x=√14.

Write the length of the side of the smaller square, and simplify the expression to the nearest tenth.

x=√14 ≈ 3.7

Calculate the length of the side of the larger square, and simplify the expression to the nearest tenth.​

2x=2√14≈7.5

Thus, the lengths of the sides of the smaller square and larger square are √14≈3.7 cm and 2√14≈7.5 cm respectively.

The length of the side of the smaller square is √14≈3.7 cm, and the length of the side of the larger square is 2√14≈7.5 cm.

Page 123 Exercise 22 Answer

The given figures show the lengths of the sides of two squares.

It is given that when the area of the larger square is decreased by 28 cm2, the resulting area is equal to half the area of the smaller square.

The question requires to determine the lengths of the sides of the squares, and write the exact answer and the approximate answer to the nearest tenth.

To determine the lengths, use the formula for area and the given dimensions to write the areas of the squares.

Then, use the given information and the expression for the areas to form an equation modelling the given situation.

Then, solve the equation for x2, use the definition of square root, and then the product property of square roots to obtain the value of x.

Finally, use the obtained value in the expressions for the lengths of the sides of the two squares to determine the exact answer and approximate answer to the nearest tenth.

From the figure, it can be observed that the length of the side of the larger and smaller square are 2x cm and x cm respectively.

Therefore, the areas of the larger square and smaller square are (2x)2 sq. cm and (x)2 sq. cm respectively.

When the area of the larger square is decreased by 28 cm2, the resulting area is (2x)2−28.

The half of the area of the smaller square is 1/2(x)2.

The area (2x)2−28 is equal to half the area of the smaller square, that is 1/2(x)2.

Therefore, (2x)2−28=1/2(x)2.

Simplify the equation (2x)2−28=1/2(x)2, subtract 1/2x2 from both sides, and add 1/2x2 on both sides.​

4x2−28=1/2x2

4x2−1/2x2−28=0

7/2x2−28=0

7/2x2=28​

Multiply both sides of 7/2x2=28 by 2/7, and use the definition of square root to simplify the equation.​

2/7⋅7/2x2=2/7⋅28x2=8

x=±√8

Rewrite the expression in the square root, use the product property of square roots, and simplify the square root.​

x=±√4⋅2

x=±√4⋅√2

x=±2√2

The length of the side of the smaller square, that is x, cannot be negative.

Therefore, x=2√2.

Write the length of the side of the smaller square, and simplify the expression to the nearest tenth.​

x=2√2≈2.8

Calculate the length of the side of the larger square, and simplify the expression to the nearest tenth.​

2x=2⋅2√2

=4√2 ≈ 5.7

Thus, the lengths of the sides of the smaller square and larger square are 2√2 ≈ 2.8 cm and 4√2 ≈ 5.7 cm respectively.

The length of the side of the smaller square is 2√2 ≈ 2.8  cm, and the length of the side of the larger square is 4√2≈5.7 cm.

Exercise 3.1 Quadratic Equations Worked Examples HMHAlgebra 2

HMH Algebra 2 Volume 1 1st Edition Module 3 Chapter 3 Exercise 3.1 Quadratic Equations Page 124 Exercise 23 Answer

It is given that the height of the ball can be modelled using the equation h(t)=h0−16t2, where h is the height of the ball after t seconds as it falls.

Also, it is given that the ball reaches the maximum height 67 feet, and is caught by an outfielder when it is 3 feet above the ground.

The question requires to determine the time in which the outfielder catches the ball after the ball starts descending.

To determine the time, write an equation modelling the height of the ball using the initial height and the equation h(t)=h0−16t2 .

Then, substitute the required height as 3, and solve the equation for t2.

Finally, use the definition of square root to obtain the value of t, and thus, the required time.

The given situation can be modelled using the equation h(t)=h0−16t2, where h(t) is the height of the ball after t seconds, and h0 is the initial height of the ball.

Since the ball reaches the maximum height 67 feet, the initial height of the ball as it falls is h0=67 ft.

The height of the ball when it is caught is h(t)=3 feet above the ground.Substitute h0−16t2 for h(t) and then 67 for h0 in h(t)=3.

h0−16t2=3

67−16t2=3

Subtract 67 from both sides of 67−16t2=3, and then divide both sides by −16.​

−16t2=−64

t2=−64

−16t2=4​

Use the definition of square root to simplify t2=4, and then simplify the square root.​

t=±√4

t=±2

The time in which the outfielder catches the ball after the ball starts descending cannot be negative.

Therefore, t=2.

Thus, the outfielder catches the ball 2 seconds after the ball starts to descend.

The outfielder catches the ball 2 seconds after the ball starts to descend.

Page 124 Exercise 24 Answer

The outfielder catches the ball 2 seconds after the ball starts to descend, as calculated in the previous exercise.

This means that the ball descends from the maximum height 67 feet to 3 feet in 2 seconds.

Therefore, the time taken by the ball to hit the ground, after it starts descending, will also be approximately equal to 2 seconds.

Assume that the time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is equal to the time taken by the ball to hit the ground from its maximum height.

Therefore, the time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height will be approximately equal to 2 seconds.

The total time for which the ball was in the air is equal to the time taken by it to reach the maximum height, and the time taken by it to descend from the maximum height 67 feet to 3

feet.

Thus, the total time is equal to approximately 2+2, that is about 4 seconds.

The total time is equal to approximately 2+2, that is about 4 seconds.

This is because the total time is equal to the time taken by it to reach the maximum height, and the time taken by it to descend from the maximum height 67 feet to 3 feet.

It is assumed that the time taken by the ball to reach the maximum height is equal to the time taken by the ball to hit the ground from its maximum height, which is approximately 2 seconds.

Page 125 Exercise 25 Answer

It is given that the aspect ratio of the images is the ratio of the image width to its height, and the aspect ratio of the images on the given HDTV screen is 16:9.

Also, it is given that the area of the HDTV screen is equal to 864 square inches.

The question requires to determine the dimensions of the screen.

To determine the dimensions, use the given aspect ratio to form expressions for the image width and image height.

Then, use the formula for area, the expressions for the dimensions, and the given area to form an equation modelling the area.

Then, solve the equation for x2, and use the definition of square root to obtain the value of x.

Finally, use the obtained value in the expressions for the image width and image height to determine the exact and approximate dimensions of the screen.

The given aspect ratio of the images on the given HDTV screen is 16:9.

This means that the ratio of the image width to the image height on the given HDTV screen is 16:9.

Let the image width and image height be equal to 16x and 9x respectively.

The area of the HDTV screen is equal to the product of the image width 16x and the image height 9x, that is A=(16x)(9x).

The given area of the rectangle is A=864 square inches.

Substitute (16x)(9x) for A in A=864, and multiply the terms.​

(16x)(9x)=864

144x2=864

​Divide both sides of 144x2=864 by 144, and use the definition of square root to simplify the equation.​

144x2

144=864

144x2=6

x=±√6

If the variable x is negative, then the image width 16x and the image height 9x are negative, which is not possible.

Therefore, x=√6.

Calculate the image width of the HDTV screen, and simplify the expression to the nearest hundredth.​

16x=16√6≈39.19

Calculate the image height of the HDTV screen, and simplify the expression to the nearest hundredth.​

9x=9√6≈22.05

Thus, the width and height of the HDTV screen are 16√6≈39.19 inches and 9√6≈22.05 inches respectively.

The width of the HDTV screen is 16√6≈39.19 inches, and the height of the HDTV screen is 9√6 ≈ 22.05 inches.

Page 126 Exercise 26 Answer

It is given that a suspension bridge has two parabolic cables connected between the towers, and vertical cables are suspended from the parabolic cables.

The given table shows the displacements of three vertical cables from the shortest cable, and the height of those cables.

The question requires to determine the quadratic function for the height of the parabolic cable above the road as a function of the displacement from the lowest point of the cable.

Then, it is required to determine the distance between the towers if the maximum height of the parabolic cable is 48 m above the road.

To determine the model, let the equation be h(x)=ax2+bx+c.

Then, use the first row data from the given table to obtain the value of c.

Next, use the data from the second and third rows to form two equations, and solve them to determine the values of the remaining constants.

Finally, use the constants in the assumed equation to determine the required equation.

To determine the distance between the towers, substitute the height as 48

m in the quadratic equation, and use the definition of square root to obtain the value of x.

Then, use the value to find the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from the left tower to its lowest position, and the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from the right tower to its lowest position.

Finally, a Let the required equation be h(x)=ax2+bx+c, where h(x) is the height of the parabolic cable when the horizontal displacement from the lowest point is x m.

The lowest point of the parabolic cable is the point at which the shortest vertical cable is suspended.

Also, the height of the parabolic cable above the ground is equal to the height of the vertical cable suspended at that point.

When the displacement of a vertical cable from the shortest vertical cable is 0 m, the height of the vertical cable is 3 m.

This means that when the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from its lowest point is 0 m, the height of the parabolic cable above the ground is 3 m.

Substitute 0 for x and 3 for h(x) in h(x)=ax2+bx+c, and simplify the expression.​

3=a(0)2+b(0)+c

3=a(0)+b(0)+c

3=0+0+c

3=c​

When the displacement of a vertical cable from the shortest vertical cable is 1 m, the height of the vertical cable is 3.05 m.

This means that when the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from its lowest point is 0 m, the height of the parabolic cable above the ground is 3.05 m.

Substitute 1 for x, 3.05 for h(x), and 3 for c in h(x)=ax2+bx+c, simplify the expression, and subtract 3 from both sides.

3.05=a(1)2+b(1)+3

3.05=a(1)+b(1)+3/0.05=a+b…………………(1)​

When the displacement of a vertical cable from the shortest vertical cable is 2 m, the height of the vertical cable is 3.2 m.

This means that when the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from its lowest point is 2 m, the height of the parabolic cable above the ground is 3.2 m.

Substitute 2 for x, 3.2 for h(x), and 3 for c in h(x)=ax2+bx+c, simplify the expression, and subtract 3 from both sides.​

3.2=a(2)2

+b(2)+3

3.2=a(4)+b(2)+3

0.2=4a+2b…………………(2)​

Equation (1) can be rewritten as a=0.05−b.

Substitute 0.05−b for a in equation (2), multiply the terms, and solve the equation for b.​

0.2=4(0.05−b)+2b

0.2=0.2−4b+2b

0.2=0.2−2b

0=−2b

0=b​

Substitute 0 for b in equation (1).​

0.05=a+0

0.05=a​

Thus, the equation h(x)=ax2+bx+c becomes:​

h(x)=0.05x2+0x+3

h(x)=0.05x2+3

Thus, the equation modelling the height of the parabolic cable is h(x)=0.05×2+3.

Let the height of the parabolic cable be equal to its maximum height 48. Therefore, h(x)=48.

Substitute 0.05x2+3 for h(x) in h(x)=48, subtract 3 from both sides, and divide both sides by 0.05.

Then, use the definition of square root, and simplify the square root.

0.05x2+3=48

0.05x2=45

x2=900

x=±√900

x=±30

The horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from its lowest point, that is x, cannot be negative.

Therefore, x=30.

The displacement of the parabolic cable from its lowest point is equal to 30 m when the cable is at the maximum height.

This means that at the point where the parabolic cable connects to the left tower, that is at its maximum height on the left side, the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from the shortest vertical cable is 30 m.

Similarly, at the point where the parabolic cable connects to the right tower, that is at its maximum height on the right side, the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from the shortest vertical cable is 30 m.

The distance between the towers is equal to the sum of the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from the left tower to its lowest position, and the horizontal displacement of the parabolic cable from the right tower to its lowest position.

Thus, the distance between the towers is equal to 30+30=60 m.

The quadratic equation modelling the height of the parabolic cable is h(x)=0.05x2+3, where h(x)  is the height of the parabolic cable when the horizontal displacement from the lowest point is x m.

The distance between the towers is equal to 30+30=60 m.

It is required to determine whether the graph of a polynomial function in intercept form crosses the x-axis or is tangent to it at an x−intercept.

The graph of p(x)=a(x−x1)(x−x2)…(x−xn) has x1,x2,…, and  xn as its x-intercepts.

Hence, it is called intercept form.In equation p(x)=a(x−x1)(x−x2)…(x−xn) if x1,x2,…, and  xn has non zero value imply function will cross x- axis, but if variable is 0, then this implies that the point is tangent to it at an x- intercept.

From equation p(x)=a(x−x1)(x−x2)…(x−xn) it can be determined whether the graph of a polynomial function in intercept form crosses the x- axis or is tangent to it at an x- intercept.

It is required to find how the graph of the function changes when a factor of−1 is introduced.Consider the function f(x)=x4.

When a factor of−1 is introduced, it becomes f(x)=−x4.

Plot the graph f(x)=−x4, further observe the graph.

Algebra 2, Volume 1, 1st Edition, Module 5 Polynomial Functions 6

It can be observed that there is one distinct factor which is 0.

Further, there are no x- intercepts, as graph turn at point (0,0).

So, the graph is tangent to x- axis at x- intercepts: (0,0) and has only one turning point.

There is one global maximum value at(0,0) and global minimum none.

The length of the box is (9−2x) inches.

The width of the box is (5−2x)inches.

The height of the box is x inches.

Write the volume function. Use the formula,V=Length×width×Height

V=(9−2x)(5−2x)x

Make the graph of the volume function to find the value of the dimensions.

Find the x- intercept of graph. Assume f(x)=(9−2x)(5−2x)x.

Identify the graphs x- intercept. The x- intercept are, x=5/2,x=0, and x=9/2.

Find the intervals of function. So, the graph of f(x)=(9−2x)(5−2x) x is determined by the following three constraints.

9−2x>0, or x<9/2

5−2x>0, or x<5/2

x>0.

The graph for function as follow f(x)=(9−2x)(5−2x)x.

Algebra 2, Volume 1, 1st Edition, Module 5 Polynomial Functions 9

So, f(x)=21.0 when x≈1. Which means that the box has a maximum volume of   cub 21 ic inches when square flaps with side length of 1 inches are made in the corners of the sheet of cardboard.

It is observed that when x is equal to 1 box will have maximum volume.

Page 257 Problem 10 Answer

It is required to discuss, although the volume function has three constraints on its domain, then why domain involves only two of them.

For solving equation function it is required to know point of intercept, for volume as a function, curve will intercept at three points on x- axis, hence involves three constrain.

As each dimension must be greater than zero for real world problem.

One of the constrain is bounded by other two.

Therefore, domains involve two constrains only.

In the volume function, one of the constrain is bounded by other two. So, domain involves only two of them.

Find the dimensions of the box.

The length of the box is (25−2x) inch.

The width of the box  is (13−2x) inches.

The height of the box is xinches.

Write the volume function. Use the formula, V=Length×width×Height

V=(25−2x)(13−2x)x

Make the graph of the volume function to find the value of the dimensions.

Find the x- intercept of graph. Assume f(x)=(25−2x)(13−2x)x.

Identify the graphs x- intercept.

x=25/2,x=0, and x=13/2.

13−2x>0, or x<13/2

25−2x>0, or x<25/2 x>0.

Taken together, these constraints give a domain of 0<x<25/2.

Page 260 Problem 22 Answer

It is given an open-top box out of cardboard that is 6 inches long and 3 inches wide, you make a square flap of side length x inches in each corner by cutting along one of the flap’s sides and folding along the other.

Once you fold up the four sides of the box, you glue each flap to the side it overlaps.

It is required to find the value of x

that maximize the volume of the box.

To find the required answer, find the dimension of the box once the flaps have been made and the sides have been folded up.

Create a volume function for the box. Maximize the volume for a given x, differentiate the volume with respect to x, and equal to zero, to find the value of x that maximizes the volume.

Write expression for the dimension of the box.

The length of the box is 6−2x units.

The width of box is3−2x units.

The height of the box is x units.

Now write the volume function and determine its domain. Use the formula, V=Length×width×Height.

Substitute length as 6−2x, breadth as 3−2x, and height as x in the above formula and simplify.

​V=(6−2x)(3−2x)x

=(6×3−6×2x−2x×3+2x×3x)×x

=(18−12x−6x+6x2)×x

=4x3−18x2+18x

Thus, the volume function is V=4x3−18x2+18x.

To maximize the volume for a given x, differentiate the volume with respect to x and equal to zero.

Use the power rule of differentiation,d/dx(xn)=nxn−1.

​dV/dx=0

d/dx(4x3−18x2+18x)=0

12x3−36x+18=0

Here, the x has two values 2.366 and 0.634. Since the value of x cannot be more than half the width 3,  choose x=0.634, that maximize the volume.

Find the maximum volume.

Substitute x as 0.634 in V=4x3−18x2+18x and simplify.

​Vmax

=4(0.634)3−18(0.634)2+18(0.634)

=1.019−7.235+11.412

=5.196

Hence, the maximum volume is 5.196 inches 3.

The value of x that maximize the volume of the box is 0.634. Also, the maximum volume is 5.196 inches 3.

HMH Algebra 2 Volume 1 1st Edition Module 5 Chapter 5 Exercise 5.2 Polynomial Functions Page 261 Problem 23 Answer

It is given a graph of a polynomial that cuts the x axis at 4 points.

It is required to find a quadratic function in intercept form for the given graph whose x-intercepts are integers assuming that the constant factor a is either 1 or−1.

First, identify the x-intercept that means find out the points where the curve cut the x axis, make them in factor form.

Then, write the polynomial as product of all the factors and assume the constant as 1 to get the function.

Analyse the given graph, where it cuts the x axis. Therefore, it cuts the axis at x=−3,x=0,x=4, and x=2.

Let P(x) be the polynomial.

As x=−3 is a zero so, (x+3) is a factor.

As x=0 is a zero so, x is a factor.

As x=4 is a zero so, (x−2) is a factor.

As x=2 is a zero so, (x−4) is a factor.

The polynomial is factored form will beP(x)=ax(x+3)(x−2)(x−4).

Check the end behavior of the polynomial.

The end behavior of the polynomial is x→∞ then, P(x)→∞ and when x→−∞ then, P(x)→∞ Therefore, a=1.

Thus,P(x)=x(x+3)(x−2)(x−4) is the required function.

The quadratic function in intercept form for the given graph isP(x)=x(x+3)(x−2)(x−4).

Page 261 Problem 24 Answer

It is given a graph of a polynomial that touches the x axis at 2 points.

It is required to find a quadratic function in intercept form for the given graph whose x-intercepts are integers assuming that the constant factor a is either 1 or −1.

First, identify the x-intercept that means find out the points where the curve cut the x axis, make them in factor form.

Then, write the polynomial as product of all the factors and assume the constant as 1 to get the function.

Analyse the given graph, where it cuts the x-axis. Therefore, it cuts the axis at x=3, and x=−2.

Let P(x) be the polynomial.

As x=3 is a zero of multiplicity so, (x−3)2 is a factor.

Asx=−2 is a zero of multiplicity so,(x+2)2 is a factor.

The polynomial is factored form will be P(x)=a(x−3)2(x+2)2.

Check the end behaviour of the polynomial.

The end behaviour of the polynomial is x→∞ then, P(x)→−∞ and whenx→−∞ then, P(x)→−∞.

Therefore, a=−1.

Thus, P(x)=−(x−3)2(x+2)2 is the required function.

The quadratic function in intercept form for the given graph is P(x)=−(x−3)2(x+2)2.

It is given a graph of a polynomial that cuts the x-axis at 4 points.

It is required to find a quadratic function in intercept form for the given graph whose x-intercepts are integers assuming that the constant factor a is either 1 or −1.

First, identify the x intercept that means find out the points where the curve cut thexaxis, make them in factor form.

Then, write the polynomial as product of all the factors and assume the constant as 1 to get the function.

Analyse the given graph, where it cuts the xaxis. Therefore, it cuts the axis at x=−2,x=0,x=3, andx=5.

Let P(x) be the polynomial.

As x=−2 is a zero so, (x+2) is a factor.

As x=0 is a zero so, x is a factor.

As x=3 is a zero so, (x−3) is a factor.

As x=5 is a zero so, (x−4) is a factor.

The polynomial is factored form will be P(x)=ax(x+2)(x−3)(x−5).

Check the end behaviour of the polynomial.

The end behaviour of the polynomial is x→∞ then, P(x)→∞  and when x→−∞ then, P(x)→∞.

Therefore, a=1. Thus, P(x)=x(x+2)(x−3)(x−5) is the required function.

The quartic function in intercept form for the given graph isP(x)=x(x+2)(x−3)(x−5).
