Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 50 as the denominator :
3900x 3900x • 50
3900x = ————— = ——————————

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
5.3 Factoring 1011x2 - 195000x - 16300
The first term is, 1011x2 its coefficient is 1011 .
The middle term is, -195000x its coefficient is -195000 .
The last term, "the constant", is -16300
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1011 • -16300 = -16479300
Step-2 : Find two factors of -16479300 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -195000 .
Numbers too big. Method shall not be applied
Equation at the end of step 5 :
1011x2 - 195000x - 16300
———————————————————————— = 0

Step 6 :
When a fraction equals zero :
6.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.
Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.
Here's how:
1011x2-195000x-16300
———————————————————— • 50 = 0 • 50
50
Now, on the left hand side, the 50 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape :
1011x2-195000x-16300 = 0
Parabola, Finding the Vertex :
6.2 Find the Vertex of y = 1011x2-195000x-16300
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, 1011 , 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 96.4392
Plugging into the parabola formula 96.4392 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 1011.0 * 96.44 * 96.44 - 195000.0 * 96.44 - 16300.0
or y = -9419118.991

x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {x,y} = {-0.08, 0.00}
Root 2 at {x,y} = {192.96, 0.00}
Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula
6.3 Solving 1011x2-195000x-16300 = 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 = 1011.00
B = -195000.00
C = -16300.00
B2 = 38025000000.00
4AC = -65917200.00
B2 - 4AC = 38090917200.00
SQRT(B2-4AC) = 195168.95
x=( 195000.00 ± 195168.95) / 2022.00
x = 192.96189
x = -0.08355
Two solutions were found :
- x = -0.08355
- x = 192.96189
