Making Equivalent Fractions :4.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractionsTwo fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value. For example : một nửa and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 và (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well. To lớn calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.
L. Mult. • L. Num. X2 —————————————————— = —— L.C.M 4 R. Mult. • R. Num.

x • (x-2) - (4) x2 - 2x - 4 ——————————————— = ——————————— 4 4 Trying khổng lồ factor by splitting the middle term6.3Factoring x2 - 2x - 4 The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1.The middle term is, -2x its coefficient is -2.The last term, "the constant", is -4Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1•-4=-4Step-2 : Find two factors of -4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2.
| -4 | + | 1 | = | -3 | ||
| -2 | + | 2 | = | 0 | ||
| -1 | + | 4 | = | 3 |
Observation : No two such factors can be found !! Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Equation at the end of step 6 : x2 - 2x - 4 ——————————— = 0 4
Step 7 :
When a fraction equals zero :7.1 When a fraction equals zero ...Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.Here"s how:x2-2x-4 ——————— • 4 = 0 • 4 4 Now, on the left hand side, the 4 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.The equation now takes the shape:x2-2x-4=0
Parabola, Finding the Vertex:7.2Find the Vertex ofy = x2-2x-4Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex.Our parabola opens up & accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum).We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term,1, is positive (greater than zero).Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two x-intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to lớn be able lớn find the coordinates of the vertex.For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x-coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A). In our case the x coordinate is 1.0000Plugging into the parabola formula 1.0000 for x we can calculate the y-coordinate:y = 1.0 * 1.00 * 1.00 - 2.0 * 1.00 - 4.0 or y = -5.000

Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square7.3Solvingx2-2x-4 = 0 by Completing The Square.Add 4 to lớn both side of the equation : x2-2x = 4Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x, which is 2, divide by two, giving 1, and finally square it giving 1Add 1 khổng lồ both sides of the equation :On the right hand side we have:4+1or, (4/1)+(1/1)The common denominator of the two fractions is 1Adding (4/1)+(1/1) gives 5/1So adding khổng lồ both sides we finally get:x2-2x+1 = 5Adding 1 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :x2-2x+1=(x-1)•(x-1)=(x-1)2 Things which are equal khổng lồ the same thing are also equal to one another. Sincex2-2x+1 = 5 andx2-2x+1 = (x-1)2 then, according khổng lồ the law of transitivity,(x-1)2 = 5We"ll refer to lớn this Equation as Eq.

#7.3.1 The Square Root Principle says that When two things are equal, their square roots are equal.Note that the square root of(x-1)2 is(x-1)2/2=(x-1)1=x-1Now, applying the Square Root Principle to Eq.#7.3.1 we get:x-1= √ 5 địa chỉ 1 to both sides khổng lồ obtain:x = 1 + √ 5 Since a square root has two values, one positive và the other negativex2 - 2x - 4 = 0has two solutions:x = 1 + √ 5 orx = 1 - √ 5
