    Question #10. A plane makes a trip of 5040 km in 7 h, flying with the wind. Returning against the wind, the plane makes the trip in 9 h. What is the speed of the wind? Step 1: Write 2 algebraic equations that model this problem. Let x represent the speed of the plane in km/h Let y represent the speed of the wind in km/h With the wind, the average speed is 5040km = 720km / h 7hours 5040km = 560km / h 9hours

    Against the wind, the average speed is

    Thus, the 2 equations that model traveling with the wind and against the wind are as follows: Equation 1: Equation 2: x + y = 720 x y = 560

    Step 2: Solve the linear system. Rearrange equation 1.. Substitute e1 into e2 y = 720 x x (720 x) = 560 x 720 + x = 560 2x = 560 + 720 2x = 1280 x = 640 sub x = 640 into e1 to solve for y 640 + y = 720 y = 720 640 y = 80 check (640, 80) equation 1 LS = 640 + 80 = 720 LS = RS Step 3: conclusions. Therefore, the speed of the wind is 80 km/h. RS = 720 equation 2 LS = 640 80 = 560 LS = RS RS = 560

    Question #40. The sum of the squares of three consecutive integers is 77. Find the integers. STEP 1: WRITE THE ALGEBRAIC EQUATION THAT MODELS THIS PROBLEM. let x represent an integer the three consecutive integers are x,(x + 1),.and (x + 2) therefore, x2 + (x + 1)2 + (x + 2)2 = 77 STEP 2: SIMPLIFY THE QUADRATIC EXPRESSION INTO STANDARD FORM. x2 + (x + 1)2 + (x + 2)2 = 77 x2 + (x + 1) (x + 1) + (x + 2) (x + 2) - 77 = 0 x2 + (x2 + 1x + 1x + 1) + (x2 + 2x + 2x + 4) - 77 = 0 x2 + x2 + 1x + 1x + 1 + x2 + 2x + 2x + 4 - 77 = 0 3x2 + 6x - 72 = 0 STEP 3: SOLVE FOR THE ROOTS. first common factor 3x2 + 6x - 72 = 0 3(x2 + 2x 24) = 0 now use the product and sum technique for factoring product = -24 sum = 2 numbers that satisfy product and sum are 6 and -4 6 x (-4) = (-24) 6 + (-4) = 2 now, write the factored expression 3(x + 6)(x 4) = 0 now, set each factor to zero and solve x+6=0 x = -6 or x4=0 x=4 STEP 5: MAKE YOUR CONCLUSIONS. You need to remember that x represents an integer Therefore, the three consecutive integers start with the roots. 6, -5, and 4.or. 4, 5, and 6. STEP 4: CHECK ROOTS(-6) and 4 = (-6)2 + (-5) 2 + (-4) 2 = 36 + 25 + 16 = 77 or = (4)2 + (5) 2 + (6) 2 = 16 + 25 + 36 = 77

    Question #48. A rectangular skating rink measures 40 m by 20 m. It is to be doubled in area by extending each side by the same amount. Determine how much each side should be extended, to the nearest tenth of a metre. Step 1: Write the algebraic equation that models this problem. let x represent the uniform width, in metres, that is to be add to each side Area of original rink = 40 x 20 = 800 m2 x Area of the new rink = 1600 m2 (because its doubled) A = length x width A = (40 + x + x)(20 + x + x) 1600 = (40 + x + x)(20 + x + x) x 40 m x Step 2: Simplify the quadratic expression into standard form. 1600 = (40 + x + x)(20 + x + x) 1600 = (40 + 2x)(20 + 2x) 0 = 800 + 80x + 40x + 4x2 - 1600 0 = 4x2 + 120x - 800 Step 3: Solve for the roots. first common factor 0 = 4x2 + 120x 800 0 = 4(x2 + 30x 200) now use the quadratic formula to solve for the roots b b 2 4ac a = 1 b = 30 c = -200 x= 2a 30 302 4(1)( 200) 30 900 + 800 x= 2(1) 2 since the discriminant is positive expect to have 2 roots x= x= 30 + 1700 2 OR x= 30 1700 2

    20 m

    use the common factored values or the starting values x= 30 1700 2

    x = 5.6155 x = 5.6

    x = -35.6155 *this is not a real root in context **metres (distance) has to be positive in this case

    Step 4: Make your conclusions. Therefore, the uniform width, that is to be add to each side, is 5.6 metres. question #50. PQR KLM. PQ = 4 cm and KL = 6 cm. The area of PQR is 12 cm2. Find the area of KLM. Since the triangles are similar. Set up the proportions of corresponding sides. PQ QR PR PQR ' s_ base PQR ' s_ height = = = = KL LM KM KLM ' s _ base KLM ' s _ height then notice that PQ 4 2 = = KL 6 3 the scale is 2:3.

    Then solve for PQRs height. PQRs area is 12 cm2 and its base = 4 cm. base(height ) 4(height ) = 2 2 Solve for the height 12(2) = 4h 24=4h h=6 Area = 12 = then use the scale to find the height of KLM 2 6 = 3 h 2h=18 h =9 thus the base of KLM is 6cm (given) and the height is 9 cm (calculated). Therefore, the area of KLM is the area of KLM is 27cm2. 9 x 6 54 = = 27cm2 2 2
