Here are the answers for each of your questions based on the quadratic equations or contexts you've provided:
Question 1
A) To determine if -2 and 5 are solutions to the equation \( x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0 \):
- Substitute \( x = -2 \): \[ (-2)^2 + 3(-2) + 2 = 4 - 6 + 2 = 0 \quad \text{(This is a solution)} \]
- Substitute \( x = 5 \): \[ (5)^2 + 3(5) + 2 = 25 + 15 + 2 = 42 \quad \text{(This is not a solution)} \]
Answer: Yes, -2 is a solution. No, 5 is not a solution.
Question 2
A) Checking if \( x = \frac{2}{3} \) is a solution to \( 9x^2 + 3x - 5 = 6 \):
- Substitute \( x = \frac{2}{3} \): \[ 9\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 + 3\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) - 5 = 9\left(\frac{4}{9}\right) + 2 - 5 = 4 + 2 - 5 = 1 \] This results in \( 1 = 6 \), which is false.
Answer: No, \( x = \frac{2}{3} \) is not a solution because substituting it back into the equation results in \( 1 = 6 \), which is a false statement.
Question 3
How many solutions are in the solution set for each quadratic equation?
- \( 5x^2 = 50 \): Divide by 5 → \( x^2 = 10 \) → 2 solutions (\( x = \pm\sqrt{10} \)).
- \( 3x^2 = -12 \): Divide by 3 → \( x^2 = -4 \) → 0 solutions (no real solutions).
- \( 8x^2 = 0 \): Divide by 8 → \( x^2 = 0 \) → 1 solution (\( x = 0 \)).
Question 4
A) Solve \( (x - 4)^2 = 25 \): Taking the square root of both sides: \[ x - 4 = 5 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 4 = -5 \] Thus, \( x = 9 \) or \( x = -1 \).
Answer: {−1, 9}
Question 5
A) For \( (x + 10)^2 - 25 = 36 \): First step: Add 25 to both sides of the equation.
Answer: Add 25 to both sides of the equation.
Question 6
A) For \( (x - 3)^2 = 20 \):
- First step: Take the square root of both sides.
- One solution: \( x - 3 = \sqrt{20} \) → \( x = 3 + \sqrt{20} \).
- Other solution: \( x - 3 = -\sqrt{20} \) → \( x = 3 - \sqrt{20} \).
Question 7
Based on the Zero Product Property, at least one of the factors must equal zero. Answer: At least one of the factors, (5x + 1) or (x - 8), must equal 0 for the left side of the equation to equal 0.
Question 8
A) The student's work for \( (x-2)(x-9) = 0 \): Analysis: "Solution #2: \( x + 9 = 0 \)" is incorrect; it should have been \( x - 9 = 0 \).
Answer: No, \( x - 9 = 0 \) should have been used to find solution #2.
Question 9
A) Solve \( (x + 6)(x - 4) = 0 \):
- Set each factor to zero:
- \( x + 6 = 0 \) → \( x = -6 \)
- \( x - 4 = 0 \) → \( x = 4 \)
Answer: The solution set is {−6, 4}.
Question 10
A) Solve \( 5x(x + 12) = 0 \) using the Zero Product Property:
- Set each factor to zero:
- \( 5x = 0 \) → \( x = 0 \)
- \( x + 12 = 0 \) → \( x = -12 \)
Answer: The solution set is \( x = {0, -12} \).
