2 This fills in some material between pages 10 and 11 of notes 1. We first discuss the relation between geometry and the quadratic formula. We can look for only real solutions. We start with Proposition 2.5. As stated above, it says that (a + b) (a b) = a 2 b 2. From the geometric figure in class, or pg. 122 of Boyer, figure 7.6, we see that this formula is only proved for 0 < b < a. Math 1230, Notes 2 Aug. 28, / 17

3 Now suppose we want to solve x 2 px + q 2 = 0. Since geometric solutions can only be real numbers, Euclid can only find the solution when q < 1 2p. We will also assume that q > 0. We draw AB of length p. Let a = 1 2p. Let C bisect AB. So AC = CB = a = 1 2p. Construct the perpendicular to AB from C, say down, of length q, to a point M. Draw the circle of radius a = 1 2 p around M. Since q < 1 2p, this circle will intersect CB at a point D between C and B. (Note that the diagonal from M to B must be of length longer than 1 2 p, while the vertical line from M to C is of length less than 1 2 p. I claim that x = DB solves x 2 px + q 2 = 0. To see this, we let b = CD. We already saw that a = 1 2p. From the Pythagorean theorem, b 2 + q 2 = a 2, so b = ( 1 2 p) 2 q 2. Then x = CD = a b = 1 2 p (1 2 p ) 2 q 2 which is one of the solutions we get using the quadratic formula. Math 1230, Notes 2 Aug. 28, / 17

4 We now repeat the statement of Book 2, proposition 6: If a straight line be bisected and a straight line be added to it in a straight line, the rectangle contained by the whole (with the added straight line) and the added straight line together with the square on the half is equal to the square on the straight line made up of the half and the added straight line. We will apply this in the next item. Math 1230, Notes 2 Aug. 28, / 17

We will apply this in the next item. book 2, prop 11 To cut a straight line so that the rectangle contained by the whole and one of the pieces is equal to the square on the remaining piece.

Alternative to V2: Dedekind s axiom: Suppose that the set of all points on a line l is the union of two nonempty sets Σ 1 and Σ 2 such that no point of Σ 1 is between two points of Σ 2 and viceversa. Then there is a unique point O of l such that O lies between two points P and Q if and only if one of these points is in Σ 1 and the other is in Σ 2 and neither is equal to O.

57 Homework, due at beginning of class on 9/4. All problems are worth 5 points unless stated otherwise. 1. Suppose that l is a line and p a point not on l. Prove using Hilbert s axioms of incidence that there is a unique plane containing l and p. 2. Use the Euclidean algorithm to f ind the greatest common divisor of 567, 759, and 839. Comment on anything atypical that you run into. Math 1230, Notes 2 Aug. 28, / 17

58 3. On the next page you will find page 122 of Boyer s book. In the section beginning If a Greek scholar.. on line 10, he describes how to use Euclid s axioms and propositions to solve x 2 ax + b 2. Using the propositions, you could construct this solution using a straight edge and compass, if you were presented with line segments of lengths a and b. (Recall that you cannot measure anything numerically with straight edge and compass.) On page 3 of these notes I give another description of the same method. Note that I do not have to refer specifically to proposition 2.5. Now do problem 5 of Boyer, on page 132. It says: Given line segments a and b, construct with straight edge and compass alone a solution of the equation x 2 = ax + b 2. (You are not meant do actually do it. Explain how you would find x in the style of the book, or of my description on page 3. You do not have to use any result like propositions 2.5 or 2.6. You just need to use the theorem of Pythagoras. Stated geometrically, this says that if A,B,C is a right triangle, then the square with the hypotenuse as one side is equal (in area) to the (sum of the areas of) two squares on the other two sides.)
