(1): "4819.5" was replaced by "(48195/10)".

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

           10000000-((48195/10)*x*(51-x/2))=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

                48195               x
  10000000 -  ((————— • x) • (51 -  —))  = 0 
                 10                 2

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

           51     51 • 2
     51 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        2   

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 :

 2.2       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:

 51 • 2 - (x)     102 - x
 ————————————  =  ———————
      2              2   

Equation at the end of step  2  :

                48195        (102 - x)
  10000000 -  ((————— • x) • —————————)  = 0 
                 10              2    

Step  3  :

            9639
 Simplify   ————
             2  

Equation at the end of step  3  :

                9639        (102 - x)
  10000000 -  ((———— • x) • —————————)  = 0 
                 2              2    

Step  4  :

Equation at the end of step  4  :

              9639x • (102 - x)
  10000000 -  —————————————————  = 0 
                      4        

Step  5  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 5.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

                 10000000     10000000 • 4
     10000000 =  ————————  =  ————————————
                    1              4      

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 5.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

 10000000 • 4 - (9639x • (102-x))     9639x2 - 983178x + 40000000
 ————————————————————————————————  =  ———————————————————————————
                4                                  4             

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 5.3     Factoring  9639x2 - 983178x + 40000000 

The first term is,  9639x2  its coefficient is  9639 .
The middle term is,  -983178x  its coefficient is  -983178 .
The last term, "the constant", is  +40000000 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant

Numbers too big. Method shall not be applied

Equation at the end of step  5  :

  9639x2 - 983178x + 40000000
  ———————————————————————————  = 0 
               4             

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:

  9639x2-983178x+40000000
  ——————————————————————— • 4 = 0 • 4
             4           

Now, on the left hand side, the  4  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   9639x2-983178x+40000000  = 0

Parabola, Finding the Vertex :

 6.2      Find the Vertex of   y = 9639x2-983178x+40000000

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, 9639 , 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  51.0000  

 
Plugging into the parabola formula  51.0000  for  x  we can calculate the  y -coordinate : 
 
 y = 9639.0 * 51.00 * 51.00 - 983178.0 * 51.00 + 40000000.0
or   y = 14928961.000

Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :

Root plot for :  y = 9639x2-983178x+40000000
Axis of Symmetry (dashed)  {x}={51.00} 
Vertex at  {x,y} = {51.00,14928961.00} 
Function has no real roots

Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula

 6.3     Solving    9639x2-983178x+40000000 = 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   =     9639.00
     B   =    -983178.00
     C   =    40000000.00

   B2 = 966638979684.00 
   4AC = 1542240000000.00 
   B2 - 4AC = -575601020316.00 
   SQRT(B2-4AC) =  758683.74  i  
  x=( 983178.00 ± 758683.74 i ) / 19278.00 
   x =  51.00000  -  39.35490 i 
   x =  51.00000  -  39.35490 i 

Two solutions were found :

  1.    x =  51.00000  -  39.35490 i 
  2.    x =  51.00000  -  39.35490 i
