3.2 Factoring 25x2 + 157x - 70650
The first term is, 25x2 its coefficient is 25 .
The middle term is, +157x its coefficient is 157 .
The last term, "the constant", is -70650
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 25 • -70650 = -1766250
Step-2 : Find two factors of -1766250 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 157 .

Parabola, Finding the Vertex :
4.2 Find the Vertex of y = 25x2+157x-70650
Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) . We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term, 25 , is positive (greater than zero).
Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.
Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.
For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is -3.1400
Plugging into the parabola formula -3.1400 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 25.0 * -3.14 * -3.14 + 157.0 * -3.14 - 70650.0
or y = -70896.490

x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {x,y} = {-56.39, 0.00}
Root 2 at {x,y} = {50.11, 0.00}
Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula
4.3 Solving 25x2+157x-70650 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .
According to the Quadratic Formula, x , the solution for Ax2+Bx+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :
- B ± √ B2-4AC
x = ————————
2A
In our case:
A = 25.00
B = 157.00
C = -70650.00
B2 = 24649.00
4AC = -7065000.00
B2 - 4AC = 7089649.00
SQRT(B2-4AC) = 2662.64
x=( -157.00 ± 2662.64) / 50.00
x = 50.11279
x = -56.39279
Two solutions were found :
- x = -56.39279
- x = 50.11279
