Chapter 4: Q5. (page 163)

Solve each equation by factoring or by using the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is:
If $a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$ , with $a 鈮� 0$ , then $x = \frac{鈭� b 卤 \sqrt{b^{2} 鈭� 4 a c}}{2 a}$ .
$y^{2} = 13 y$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The values of y are $y = 13$ and. $y = 0$

Step by step solution

- Understand the concept used

If $a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$ , with, $a 鈮� 0$ then $x = \frac{鈭� b 卤 \sqrt{b^{2} 鈭� 4 a c}}{2 a}$ . Solving using factoring can be done by splitting the middle term of equation and then making groups and equating them to zero.

- Substitute the values

It is given that $y^{2} = 13 y$ , which can also be written as $y^{2} 鈭� 13 y = 0$ .Using quadratic formula $y = \frac{鈭� b 卤 \sqrt{b^{2} 鈭� 4 a c}}{2 a}$ , substitute 1 for a, -13 for b and 0 for c.

Put the values in the formula and get $y = \frac{鈭� (鈭� 13) 卤 \sqrt{{(鈭� 13)}^{2} 鈭� 4 脳 (1) 脳 (0)}}{2 (1)}$ .

- Simplify for y

Simplify the expression for y.

$\begin{matrix} y = \frac{鈭� (鈭� 13) 卤 \sqrt{{(鈭� 13)}^{2} 鈭� 4 脳 (1) 脳 (0)}}{2 (1)} \\ = \frac{13 卤 \sqrt{169 鈭� 0}}{2} \\ = \frac{13 卤 \sqrt{169}}{2} \\ = \frac{13 卤 13}{2} \end{matrix}$

Therefore, either $y = \frac{13 + 13}{2} = \frac{26}{2}$ or $y = \frac{13 鈭� 13}{2} = \frac{0}{2}$ that is., either $y = 13$ or $y = 0$ .
