Chapter 10: Square

Square-based word problems are the third type of word problems covered in MATQ 1099, the first being linear equations in one variable and the second being linear equations in two or more variables. Quadratic equations can be used in the same types of word problems you found above, except that by working with the given data, you end up creating a quadratic equation. To find the solution, you must factor the quadratic equation or use a substitution.

Example 10.7.1

The sum of two numbers is 18 and the product of those two numbers is 56. What are numbers?

First we know two things:

$\begin{array}{l} \text{minor}(S)+\text{major}(L)=18\Rightarrow L=18-S\\ \\ S\times L=56 \end{ Matrix}$

Substituting $18-S$ for $L$ in the second equation gives:

$S(18-S)=56$

Multiplying gives:

$18S-S^2=56$

Which rearranges to:

$S^2-18S+56=0$

Second, factor this square to get our solution:

$\begin{matrix}{rrrrrrl} S^2&-&18S&+&56&=&0 \\ (S&-&4)(S&-&14)&=&0 \\ \\ &&&&S&=&4, 14 \end{matrix}[ /Latex] Because of this: [latex]\begin{array}{l} S=4, L=18-4=14 \\ \\ S=14, L=18-14=4 \text{ (this solution is rejected)} \end{ Matrix}$

Example 10.7.2

The difference between the squares of two consecutive even numbers is 68. What are these numbers?

(Video) Age Word Problems In Algebra - Past, Present, Future

The variables used for two consecutive integers (odd or even) are $x$ and $x + 2$. The equation to use for this problem is $(x + 2)^2 - (x)^2 = 68$. Simplifying these results:

[Látex]\begin{matriz}{rrrrrrrrrr} &&(x&+&2)^2&-&(x)^2&=&68 \\ x^2&+&4x&+&4&-&x^2&=&68 \\ &&&&4x&+&4&=&68 \\ &&&&&-&4&&-4 \\ \hline &&&&&&\dfrac{4x}{4}&=&\dfrac{64}{4} \\ \\ &&&&&&x&=&16 \end{matriz}[/latex]

That means the two integers are 16 and 18.

Example 10.7.3

Sally and Joey's age product is now 175 more than their age product 5 years ago. If Sally is 20 years older than Joey, how old are they currently?

The equations are:

$\begin{matriz}{rrl} (S)(J)&=&175+(S-5)(J-5) \\ S&=&J+20 \end{matriz}$

Substituting S gives us:

[Látex]\begin{matriz}{rrrrrrrrrrrr} (J&+&20)(J)&=&175&+&(J&+&20-5)(J&-&5) \\ J^2&+&20J&=&175&+&(J&+ &15)(J&-&5) \\ J^2&+&20J&=&175&+&J^2&+&10J&-&75 \\ -J^2&-&10J&&&-&J^2&-&10J&& \\ \hline &&\dfrac{10J}{10 }&=&\dfrac{100}{10} &&&&&& \\ \\ &&J&=&10 &&&&&&\end{matriz}[/látex]

That means Joey is 10 years old and Sally is 30 years old.

For questions 1 through 12, write and solve the equation that describes the relationship.

1. The sum of two numbers is 22 and the product of those two numbers is 120. What are numbers?
2. The difference of two numbers is 4 and the product of these two numbers is 140. What are numbers?

11. The product of James and Susan's ages in 5 years is 230 more than the product of their ages today. How old are they if James is a year older than Susan?
12. The product of the ages (in days) of the two newborn babies Simran and Jessie in two days will be 48 more than the product of their ages today. How old are the babies if Jessie is 2 days older than Simran?

Example 10.7.4

Doug went to a conference in a town 120 km away. On the way back, he had to slow down 10 km/h due to road works, which meant that the return journey took 2 hours. How fast did you drive on the way to the conference?

The first equation is $r(t) = 120$, which means $r = \dfrac{120}{t}$ or $t = \dfrac{120} { r }[/Latex]. For the second equation, [latex]r$ is 10 km/h slower and $t$ is 2 hours longer. This means that the second equation is $(r - 10)(t + 2) = 120$.

Let's eliminate the variable $t$ in the second equation by substitution:

$(r-10)(\dfrac{120}{r}+2)=120$

Multiply both sides by $r$ to eliminate the fraction and we get:

(Video) Stop Trying to Understand Math, Do THIS Instead

$(r-10)(120+2r)=120r$

Multiplying everything gives:

$\begin{matrix}{rrrrrrrrrr} 120r&+&2r^2&-&1200&-&20r&=&120r \\ &&2r^2&+&100r&-&1200&=&120r \\ &&&-&120r&&&&-120r \\ \hline &&2r^2&-&20r&- &1200&=&0 \end{matrix}$

This equation can be reduced by a common factor of 2, leaving us:

$\begin{array}{rrl} r^2-10r-600&=&0 \\ (r-30)(r+20)&=&0 \\ r&=&30\text{ km/h oder }-20 \text{ km/h (rechazar)} \end{array}$

Example 10.7.5

Mark paddles 30 km down the river, then turns around and returns to his original location. The entire journey took 8 hours. If the current is 2 km/h, how fast would Mark row in still water?

If we allow $t =$ the time to row down the river, then the time to return is $8\text{ h}- t$.

The first equation is $(r + 2)t = 30$. The current accelerates the boat, which means $t = \dfrac{30}{(r + 2)}$, and the second equation is $(r - 2)(8 - t) = 30$ when the current slows the boat down.

We will remove the variable $t$ from the second equation by replacing $t=\dfrac{30}{(r+2)}$:

[Latex](r-2)\left(8-\dfrac{30}{(r+2)}\right)=30[/latex]

Multiply both sides by $(r + 2)$ to eliminate the fraction and we get:

$(r-2)(8(r+2)-30)=30(r+2)$

Multiplying everything gives:

$\begin{matrix}{rrrrrrrrrrrr} (r&-&2)(8r&+&16&-&30)&=&30r&+&60 \\ &&(r&-&2)(8r&+&(-14))&=&30r&+&60 \\ 8r^2&-&14r&-&16r&+&28&=&30r&+&60 \\ &&8r^2&-&30r&+&28&=&30r&+&60 \\ &&&-&30r&-&60&&-30r&-&60 \\ \hline &&8r^2&-&60r&-&32& =&0&& \end{matrix}$

This equation can be reduced by a common factor of 4, giving us:

[Látex]\begin{matriz}{rll} 2r^2-15r-8&=&0 \\ (2r+1)(r-8)&=&0 \\ r&=&-\dfrac{1}{2}\ text{ km/h (rechazar) o }r=8\text{ km/h} \end{array}[/latex]

## Questions

Example 10.7.6

(Video) Algebra for Beginners | Basics of Algebra

Calculate the length and width of a rectangle whose length is 5 cm greater than its width and whose area is 50 cm2.

First, the area of ​​this rectangle is given by $L\times W$, which means that for this rectangle, $L\times W=50$, or $(W+ 5 ) W=50$.

By multiplication we get:

[Latex]W^2+5W=50[/Latex]

Which rearranges to:

[Latex]W^2+5W-50=0[/Latex]

Second, we factor this square to get our solution:

[Látex]\begin{Matriz}{rrrrrrl} W^2&+&5W&-&50&=&0 \\ (W&-&5)(W&+&10)&=&0 \\ &&&&W&=&5, -10 \\ \end{Matriz} [/Latex]

We reject the solution $W = -10$.

This means that [Latex]L = W + 5 = 5+5= 10[/Latex].

Example 10.7.7

If the length of each side of a square is increased by 6, the area is multiplied by 16. Find the length of one side of the original square.

There are two areas to consider: the area of ​​the smaller square, which is $x^2$ , and the area of ​​the larger square, which is $(x+12)^ 2$ .

The relationship between these two is:

$\begin{array}{rrl} \text{larger area}&=&16\text{ times smaller area} \\ (x+12)^2&=&16(x)^2 \end{array }[ / Latex] Simplifying these results: [Látex]\begin{Matriz}{rrrrrrrr} x^2&+&24x&+&144&=&16x^2 \\ -16x^2&&&&&&-16x^2 \\ \hline -15x^2&+&24x&+&144&=&0 \end{Matriz }[/Latex] Since this is a problem that requires factoring, it's easier to use the quadratic equation: (Video) Algebra AGE WORD PROBLEM – Let’s solve it step-by-step... [latex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a},\hspace{0.25in}\text{ onde }a=-15, b=24\text{ e } c=144$

Substituting these values ​​gives $x = 4$ or $x=-2.4$ (rejection).

Example 10.7.8

Nick and Chloe want to surround their 24" x 32" wedding photo with doilies of the same width. The resulting photo and mat must be covered with a layer of 1 m2one-sided archival glass. Find the width of the carpet.

First, the area of ​​this rectangle is given by $L\times W$, which means that for this rectangle:

[Latex](L+2x)(L+2x)=1\text{m}^2[/Latex]

O, cm:

[Latex](80\text{cm}+2x)(60\text{cm}+2x)=10.000\text{cm}^2[/latex]

By multiplication we get:

$4800+280x+4x^2=10.000$

Which rearranges to:

$4x^2+280x-5200=0$

What it boils down to:

[Latex]x^2 + 70x - 1300 = 0[/Latex]

Second, we factor this square to get our solution.

It's easier to use the quadratic equation to find our solutions.

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a},\hspace{0.25in}\text{ onde }a=1, b=70\text{ e }c =-1300$

Replacing the values ​​in returns:

[látex]x=\dfrac{-70\pm \sqrt{70^2-4(1)(-1300)}}{2(1)}\hspace{0.5in}x=\dfrac{-70\pm 10\sqrt{101}}{2}[/látex]

$x=-35+5\sqrt{101}\hspace{0.75in} x=-35-5\sqrt{101}\text{ (rechazado)}$
