Assignment:
Q1. Determine whether the following equations real or complex solutions; justify your answer. Note: It is not necessary to find the solutions; just determine if they are real or complex and explain why.
a) 5x2 + 8x + 7 = 0
b) (7)1/2y2 - 6y - 13(7)1/2 = 0
c) 2x2 + x - 1 = 0
d) 4/3x2 - 2x + 3/4 = 0
e) 2x2 + 5x + 5 = 0
f) p2 - 4p + 4 = 0
g) m2 + m + 1 = 0
h) 3z2 + z - 1 = 0
Q2. Form a quadratic equation that passes through the x-axis at x = 3 and x = -5. (must be an equation, not an expression.)
Q3. What type of solution do you get for quadratic equations where D < 0? Give reasons for your answer. Also provide an example of such a quadratic equation and find the solution of the equation.
Q4. Steve traveled 200 miles at a certain speed. Had he gone 10mph faster, the trip would have taken 1 hour less. Find the speed of his vehicle.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
