Solve the equation by completing the square: 4x^2 - 17x + 24 = 0
----------
4x^2 - 17x + 24 = 0
4x^2 - 17x = -24
x^2 - (17/4)x = -6
c to added = (b/2a)^2 = (17/8)^2
c = 289/64
------
x^2 - (17/4)x + 289/64 = -6 + 289/64 = -95/64
(x - 17/8)^2 = -95/64

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 4x%5E2%2B-17x%2B24+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-17%29%5E2-4%2A4%2A24=-95.

The discriminant -95 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -95 is + or - sqrt%28+95%29+=+9.74679434480896.

"Find the measure of an angle if its measure is four times the measure of its complement."
-----------
Angle + complement = 90 degs
A + C = 90
A = 4C
4C + C = 90
5C = 90
C = 18
A = 90 - 18
Angle = 72 degs

tanx sinx+sinX=o
---------
tan(x)*sin(x) + sin(x) = 0 Are you too busy to try to make sense?
sin(x)*(tan(x) + 1) = 0
sin(x) = 0
x = 0 + n*pi, n = 0,1,2,3...
------
tan(x) + 1 = 0
tan(x) = -1
x = 3pi/4 + n*pi, n = 0,1,2,3...

the graphs of y - 2x = 1, 4x + y = 7, and 2y - x = -4 contain the sides of the triangle. Find the coordinates and vertices of the triangle
-----------------
Coordinates of the vertices?
They're the intersections of the 3 lines.
Solve the pairs of eqns 2 at a time.
----
y - 2x = 1 --> y = 2x + 1
4x + y = 7
Sub for y in the 2nd eqn
4x + (2x+1) = 7
x = 1
y = 3
--> (1,3)
=================
2y - x = -4
4x + 7 = 7
Solve for the intersection.
--------
2y - x = -4
y - 2x = 1
Solve for the 3rd vertex.

u^2 - u - 2 = 0
(u - 2)*(u + 1) = 0
u = 2 --> sin(x) = 2 (no real number solution)
u = -1 --> sin(x) = -1
x = pi + 2n*pi, n = 0, 1, 2, 3...

Twice the tens digit of a positive, two-digit integer is 1 less than the ones digit. Reversing the digits increases the number by 45. What is the number?
------------------
t = 10's digit
u = units
----
2t + 1 = u
10t + u + 45 = 10u + t
---
2 eqns in 2 variables
2t + 1 = u --> u = 2t + 1
10t + u + 45 = 10u + t --> 9t + 45 = 9u --> t + 5 = u
-------------
u = 2t + 1
t + 5 = u
---
t + 5 = 2t + 1
t = 4
----
u = 9
--> 49
