Statement sum Involing Quadratic Equations

Statement sum Involving  Quadratic Equations:

Step 1: Translate the word problem into methamatical statement.

Step 2:  Then form a Quadratic Equation.

Step 3: Solve the Quadratic Equation.

Step 4: Reject the root that satisfy the conditions of the problem.

Example: The Sum of two numbers is 18 and their product is 45. Find the numbers.

Solution: Let one number = y

 Other number = 18- y

According to the question:

Product = 45

y X (18-y) = 45

large 18y-y^2=45

large -y^2+18y-45=0

large y^2-18y +45=0

large y^2-15y -3y+45=0

large y(y-15) -3(y-15)=0

large (y-15) (y-3)=0

large Either ;(y-15) =0 ;or; (y-3)=0

y= 15 , 3

So One number is 15 and the other number is 3
