Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1
Making Equivalent Fractions :
6.4 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.
For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.
To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.
L. Mult. • L. Num. x • (4000x+513) • 20 —————————————————— = ———————————————————— L.C.M 20000 R. Mult. • R. Num. 513 —————————————————— = ————— L.C.M 20000

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
6.6 Factoring 80000x2 + 10260x - 513
The first term is, 80000x2 its coefficient is 80000 .
The middle term is, +10260x its coefficient is 10260 .
The last term, "the constant", is -513
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 80000 • -513 = -41040000
Step-2 : Find two factors of -41040000 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 10260 .
Numbers too big. Method shall not be applied
Equation at the end of step 6 :
80000x2 + 10260x - 513
—————————————————————— = 0
20000
Step 7 :
When a fraction equals zero :
7.1 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:
80000x2+10260x-513
—————————————————— • 20000 = 0 • 20000
20000
Now, on the left hand side, the 20000 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape :
80000x2+10260x-513 = 0
Parabola, Finding the Vertex :
7.2 Find the Vertex of y = 80000x2+10260x-513
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, 80000 , 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 -0.0641
Plugging into the parabola formula -0.0641 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 80000.0 * -0.06 * -0.06 + 10260.0 * -0.06 - 513.0
or y = -841.961
Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :
Root plot for : y = 80000x2+10260x-513
Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {x}={-0.06}
Vertex at {x,y} = {-0.06,-841.96}
x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {x,y} = {-0.17, 0.00}
Root 2 at {x,y} = { 0.04, 0.00}
Solve Quadratic Equation using the Quadratic Formula
7.3 Solving 80000x2+10260x-513 = 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 = 80000.00
B = 10260.00
C = -513.00
B2 = 105267600.00
4AC = -164160000.00
B2 - 4AC = 269427600.00
SQRT(B2-4AC) = 16414.25
x=( -10260.00 ± 16414.25) / 160000.00
x = 0.03846
x = -0.16671
Two solutions were found :
- x = -0.16671
- x = 0.03846
