Rules for entering a quadratic polynomial

Any Latin letter can act as a variable.
For example: \(x, y, z, a, b, c, o, p, q\), etc.

Numbers can be entered as whole or fractional numbers.
Moreover, fractional numbers can be entered not only as a decimal, but also as an ordinary fraction.

Rules for entering decimal fractions.
In decimals fraction can be separated from the whole by either a period or a comma.
For example, you can enter decimals like this: 2.5x - 3.5x^2

Rules for entering ordinary fractions.
Only a whole number can act as the numerator, denominator and integer part of a fraction.

The denominator cannot be negative.

When entering numerical fraction The numerator is separated from the denominator by a division sign: /
The whole part is separated from the fraction by the ampersand sign: &
Input: 3&1/3 - 5&6/5x +1/7x^2
Result: \(3\frac(1)(3) - 5\frac(6)(5) x + \frac(1)(7)x^2\)

When entering an expression you can use parentheses. In this case, when solving, the introduced expression is first simplified.
For example: 1/2(x-1)(x+1)-(5x-10&1/2)

Isolating the square of a binomial from a square trinomial

If the square trinomial ax 2 +bx+c is represented as a(x+p) 2 +q, where p and q are real numbers, then they say that from square trinomial, the square of the binomial is highlighted.

From the trinomial 2x 2 +12x+14 we extract the square of the binomial.


\(2x^2+12x+14 = 2(x^2+6x+7) \)


To do this, imagine 6x as a product of 2*3*x, and then add and subtract 3 2. We get:
$$ 2(x^2+2 \cdot 3 \cdot x + 3^2-3^2+7) = 2((x+3)^2-3^2+7) = $$ $$ = 2 ((x+3)^2-2) = 2(x+3)^2-4 $$

That. We extract the square binomial from the square trinomial, and showed that:
$$ 2x^2+12x+14 = 2(x+3)^2-4 $$

Factoring a quadratic trinomial

If the square trinomial ax 2 +bx+c is represented in the form a(x+n)(x+m), where n and m are real numbers, then the operation is said to have been performed factorization of a quadratic trinomial.

Let us show with an example how this transformation is done.

Let's factor the quadratic trinomial 2x 2 +4x-6.

Let us take the coefficient a out of brackets, i.e. 2:
\(2x^2+4x-6 = 2(x^2+2x-3) \)

Let's transform the expression in brackets.
To do this, imagine 2x as the difference 3x-1x, and -3 as -1*3. We get:
$$ = 2(x^2+3 \cdot x -1 \cdot x -1 \cdot 3) = 2(x(x+3)-1 \cdot (x+3)) = $$
$$ = 2(x-1)(x+3) $$

That. We factored the quadratic trinomial, and showed that:
$$ 2x^2+4x-6 = 2(x-1)(x+3) $$

Note that factoring a quadratic trinomial is possible only if the quadratic equation corresponding to this trinomial has roots.
Those. in our case, it is possible to factor the trinomial 2x 2 +4x-6 if the quadratic equation 2x 2 +4x-6 =0 has roots. In the process of factorization, we established that the equation 2x 2 + 4x-6 = 0 has two roots 1 and -3, because with these values, the equation 2(x-1)(x+3)=0 turns into a true equality.

Definition

Expressions of the form 2 x 2 + 3 x + 5 are called quadratic trinomials. IN general case a square trinomial is an expression of the form a x 2 + b x + c, where a, b, c a, b, c - arbitrary numbers, and a ≠ 0.

Consider the quadratic trinomial x 2 - 4 x + 5. Let's write it in this form: x 2 - 2 · 2 · x + 5. Let's add 2 2 to this expression and subtract 2 2, we get: x 2 - 2 · 2 · x + 2 2 - 2 2 + 5. Note that x 2 - 2 2 x + 2 2 = (x - 2) 2, so x 2 - 4 x + 5 = (x - 2) 2 - 4 + 5 = (x - 2) 2 + 1 . The transformation we made is called “isolating a perfect square from a quadratic trinomial”.

Highlight perfect square from the quadratic trinomial 9 x 2 + 3 x + 1.

Note that 9 x 2 = (3 x) 2 , `3x=2*1/2*3x`. Then `9x^2+3x+1=(3x)^2+2*1/2*3x+1`. Add and subtract `(1/2)^2` to the resulting expression, we get

`((3x)^2+2*1/2*3x+(1/2)^2)+1-(1/2)^2=(3x+1/2)^2+3/4`.

We will show how the method of isolating a perfect square from a quadratic trinomial is used to factorize a square trinomial.

Factor the quadratic trinomial 4 x 2 - 12 x + 5.

We select the perfect square from the quadratic trinomial: 2 x 2 - 2 · 2 x · 3 + 3 2 - 3 2 + 5 = 2 x - 3 2 - 4 = (2 x - 3) 2 - 2 2. Now we apply the formula a 2 - b 2 = (a - b) (a + b) , we get: (2 x - 3 - 2) (2 x - 3 + 2) = (2 x - 5) (2 x - 1 ) .

Factor the quadratic trinomial - 9 x 2 + 12 x + 5.

9 x 2 + 12 x + 5 = - 9 x 2 - 12 x + 5. Now we notice that 9 x 2 = 3 x 2, - 12 x = - 2 3 x 2.

We add the term 2 2 to the expression 9 x 2 - 12 x, we get:

3 x 2 - 2 3 x 2 + 2 2 - 2 2 + 5 = - 3 x - 2 2 - 4 + 5 = 3 x - 2 2 + 4 + 5 = - 3 x - 2 2 + 9 = 3 2 - 3 x - 2 2 .

We apply the formula for the difference of squares, we have:

9 x 2 + 12 x + 5 = 3 - 3 x - 2 3 + (3 x - 2) = (5 - 3 x) (3 x + 1) .

Factor the quadratic trinomial 3 x 2 - 14 x - 5 .

We cannot represent the expression 3 x 2 as the square of some expression, because we have not yet studied this in school. You will go through this later, and in Task No. 4 we will study square roots. Let's show how you can factor a given quadratic trinomial:

`3x^2-14x-5=3(x^2-14/3 x-5/3)=3(x^2-2*7/3 x+(7/3)^2-(7/3) ^2-5/3)=`

`=3((x-7/3)^2-49/9-5/3)=3((x-7/3)^2-64/9)=3((x-7/3)^ 2-8/3)^2)=`

`=3(x-7/3-8/3)(x-7/3+8/3)=3(x-5)(x+1/3)=(x-5)(3x+1) `.

We'll show you how to use the perfect square method to find the largest or smallest value of a quadratic trinomial.
Consider the quadratic trinomial x 2 - x + 3. Select a complete square:

`(x)^2-2*x*1/2+(1/2)^2-(1/2)^2+3=(x-1/2)^2+11/4`. Note that when `x=1/2` the value of the quadratic trinomial is `11/4`, and when `x!=1/2` the value of `11/4` is added positive number, so we get a number greater than `11/4`. Thus, smallest value quadratic trinomial is `11/4` and it is obtained when `x=1/2`.

Find the largest value of the quadratic trinomial - 16 2 + 8 x + 6.

We select a perfect square from a quadratic trinomial: - 16 x 2 + 8 x + 6 = - 4 x 2 - 2 4 x 1 + 1 - 1 + 6 = - 4 x - 1 2 - 1 + 6 = - 4 x - 1 2 + 7 .

When `x=1/4` the value of the quadratic trinomial is 7, and when `x!=1/4` a positive number is subtracted from the number 7, that is, we get a number less than 7. So the number 7 is highest value quadratic trinomial, and it is obtained when `x=1/4`.

Factor the numerator and denominator of the fraction `(x^2+2x-15)/(x^2-6x+9)` and reduce the fraction.

Note that the denominator of the fraction x 2 - 6 x + 9 = x - 3 2. Let's factorize the numerator of the fraction using the method of isolating a complete square from a square trinomial. x 2 + 2 x - 15 = x 2 + 2 x 1 + 1 - 1 - 15 = x + 1 2 - 16 = x + 1 2 - 4 2 = = (x + 1 + 4) (x + 1 - 4) = (x + 5) (x - 3) .

This fraction led to the form `((x+5)(x-3))/(x-3)^2` after reduction by (x - 3) we get `(x+5)/(x-3)`.

Factor the polynomial x 4 - 13 x 2 + 36.

Let us apply the method of isolating a complete square to this polynomial. `x^4-13x^2+36=(x^2)^2-2*x^2*13/2+(13/2)^2-(13/2)^2+36=(x^ 2-13/2)^2-169/4+36=(x^2-13/2)^2-25/4=`

1.3. Selecting a complete square

The method for selecting a complete square is based on the use of the formulas: a 2 2ab b 2 a b 2 ,a 2 2ab b 2 a b 2 .

Isolating a complete square is an identity transformation in which a given trinomial is represented as a b 2 the sum or difference of the square of the binomial and some numerical or alphabetic expression.

Square trinomial relative to variable size there is an expression of the form

ax 2 bx c , where a ,b and c – given numbers, and a 0 .

Let us transform the quadratic trinomial ax 2 bx c as follows.

Then we represent the expression b x as 2b x (twice the product

To the expression in parentheses we add and subtract the number from it

As a result we get:

Noticing now that

We get
