    Very well done. It is so helpful to avoid using any quadratic formula for getting students to actually understand what they are doing. However when the coefficient "a" is not 1 it is common to just teach "divide both side by a", but I really like this idea of rather factoring out the "a". Although the calculation will be similar as we are completing the square in the same manner, the division by "a" becomes more natural the way it is shown here compared to "just begin by dividing both side by a".

  • @MyOpinion-hm8bq
    @MyOpinion-hm8bq 6 місяців тому +3

    Actually it's easier to solve by multiplying a and c and factoring b into that. i.e. in this case ::
    a = 4, b = 8, c = 5 .............. so a*c = 20 = 10 * 2 & b = 8 = 10 - 2
    Thus equation becomes :: 4x^2 + 10x - 2x - 5 = 0
    2x (2x + 5) - 1(2x + 5) = 0
    (2x - 1) (2x + 5) = 0
    i.e. x = 1/2 or -5/2

    • @carultch
      @carultch 3 місяці тому

      Given:
      integral log((1 - x)/(1 + x)) dx from -1 to +1
      Assuming log means natural log. If it doesn't, the answer is just different by a constant coefficient of 1/ln(10).
      Use integration by parts, with the log function differentiated, and 1 integrated:
      S _ _ _ D _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I
      + _ _ ln((1-x)/(1+x)) _ _ _ 1
      - _ _ 2/(x^2 - 1) _ _ _ _ _ x
      Construct result:
      x*ln((1-x)/(1+x)) - integral 2*x/(x^2 - 1) dx
      Use u-substitution to unpack the integral:
      u = x^2 - 1
      du = 2*x
      Thus it becomes:
      integral du/u, which integrates as:
      ln(|u|) = ln(|x^2 - 1|)
      Thus, our result is:
      x*ln((1-x)/(1+x)) - ln(|x^2 - 1|) + C
      Rewrite with log properties:
      x*ln(1-x) - x*ln(1+x) - ln(|x^2 - 1|) + C
      Evaluate from -a to +a, and take the limit as a approaches 1 from the left:
      [a*ln(1-a) - a*ln(1+a) - ln(|a^2 - 1|)] - [-a*ln(1 - -a) - a*ln(1 - a) - ln(|a^2 - 1|)]
      Plug in a=1, where possible to do so directly:
      ln(1-a) - ln(2) - ln(|a^2 - 1|) + ln(2) - ln(1- a) + ln(|a^2 - 1|)
      Observe that every term, has an equal and opposite negative term. This means, the result reduces to zero.

      @carultch 6 місяців тому

      To visualize what we are doing in this example:
      Given 4*x^2 + 8*x - 5 = 0.
      Imagine constructing 4 copies of an actual square.
      The 4*x^2 term is represented by 4 squares that are x by x units. We now need to add a combination of shapes adding up to an area of 8*x to these 4 squares. And we need to do so in a way, that all our final shapes are identical squares, with the exception of the individual left over units (more on that later).
      Easiest way to do this, is to first divide 8*x by 4, to distribute equally to the squares. Thus, at any given square, we have to come up with shapes that add up in area to 2*x. This could be two rectangles, each 1 unit by x units.
      Add this smaller rectangle onto the right side and onto the bottom, of each of the 4 squares of x by x. Now, we ALMOST have four squares, of side length (x+1), but we are still missing something. Each of these squares is missing a 1x1 square in the corner.
      To do this, we add zero in a fancy way, by adding 4 qty 1x1 squares, and a debt of 4 area units. Have the debt of 4 area units join the existing debt of 5 area units, to get a debt of 9 area units remaining. This means we have: 4 squares of side length (x + 1), and a debt of 9 area units, corresponding to the form 4*(x + 1)^2 - 9 = 0

    • @carultch
      @carultch 3 місяці тому +1

      It's the perfect square identity. Given (a + b)^2, it expands as a*a + a*b + b*a + b*b, which simplifies to a^2 + 2*a*b + b^2. Let a = x and let b = 1, and you'll determine that (x + 1)^2 = x^2 + 2*x + 1.
      The idea in this example, is that you're given 4*x^2 + 8*x - 5 = 0. You'd like to rephrase this equation as 4 perfect squares, of side length (x + 1), and either add or subtract individual unit squares as necessary. So use that perfect square identity to find:
      4*(x + 1)^2 = 4*x^2 + 8*x + 4, and line terms up with the original equation. You find that the essential difference is the final constant term, which is -5 instead of +4. This means we need to subtract 9, from our 4 copies of the perfect square identity, to get our original expression.
      4*(x + 1)^2 - 9 = 4*x^2 + 8*x - 5.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 3 місяці тому

      Because you are lining it up with the perfect square identity, (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2*a*b + b^2.
      Given 4*x^2 + 8*x - 5 = 0, we'd like to line this up with 4 copies of the perfect square identity, and figure out how many unit squares, we either need to add or subtract to get it to balance.
      Let a = x, and expand out (x + b)^2, to get x^2 + 2*b*x + b^2. Then construct 4 copies of this:
      4*(x + b)^2 = 4*x^2 + 8*b*x + 4*b^2
      And you can see, that letting b = 1, this means 2 out of 3 of our coefficients are the same:
      4*x^2 + 8*x + 4
      Compare with:
      4*x^2 + 8*x - 5
      The essential difference is that our original is 9 units less than the four perfect squares. Thus, our square completes as:
      4*x^2 + 8*x - 5 = 4*(x + 1)^2 - 9
