2 1 Quadratics EF A quadratic has the form a b c where a, b, and c are an real numbers, provided a 0. You should alread be familiar with the following. The graph of a quadratic is called a parabola. There are two possible shapes: concave up (if a 0 ) concave down (if a 0 ) This has a minimum turning point This has a maimum turning point To find the roots (i.e. solutions) of the quadratic equation a b c 0, we can use: factorisation; completing the square (see Section 3); b b 4ac the quadratic formula: (this is not given in the eam). a EXAMPLES 1. Find the roots of Solve Page 1

3 3. Find the roots of Note If there are two distinct solutions, the curve intersects the -ais twice. If there is one repeated solution, the turning point lies on the -ais. If b 4ac 0 when using the quadratic formula, there are no points where the curve intersects the -ais. Page

4 The Discriminant EF Given a b c, we call b 4ac the discriminant. This is the part of the quadratic formula which determines the number of real roots of the equation a b c 0. If b If b If b 4ac 0, the roots are real and unequal (distinct). 4ac 0, the roots are real and equal (i.e. a repeated root). 4ac 0, the roots are not real; the parabola does not cross the -ais. EXAMPLE 1. Find the nature of the roots of two roots one root no real roots. Find the values of q such that 6 1 q 0 has real roots. Page 3

5 3. Find the range of values of k for which the equation no real roots. k 7 0 has 4. Show that k k k has real roots for all real values of k. 3 Completing the Square EF The process of writing a b c called completing the square. in the form a p q is Once in completed square form we can determine the turning point of an parabola, including those with no real roots. The ais of smmetr is p and the turning point is pq,. The process relies on the fact that p p p. For eample, we can write the epression 4 using the bracket since when multiplied out this gives the terms we want with an etra constant term. Page 4

6 using k This means we can rewrite the epression k since this gives us the correct and terms, with an etra constant. We will use this to help complete the square for Step 1 Make sure the equation is in the form a b c. Step Take out the -coefficient as a factor of the and terms Step 3 Replace the k epression and compensate for the etra constant Step 4 Collect together the constant terms Now that we have completed the square, we can see that the parabola with equation has turning point, 15. EXAMPLES 1. Write 6 5 in the form p q. Note You can alwas check our answer b epanding the brackets.. Write 3 4 in the form p q. Page 5

7 3. Write 8 3 in the form a b and then state: (i) the ais of smmetr, and (ii) the minimum turning point of the parabola with this equation. 4. A parabola has equation (a) Epress the equation in the form a b. (b) State the turning point of the parabola and its nature. Remember If the coefficient of is positive then the parabola is concave up. Page 6

8 4 Sketching Parabolas EF The method used to sketch the curve with equation on how man times the curve intersects the -ais. a b c depends We have met curve sketching before. However, when sketching parabolas, we do not need to use calculus. We know there is onl one turning point, and we have methods for finding it. Parabolas with one or two roots Find the -ais intercepts b factorising or using the quadratic formula. Find the -ais intercept (i.e. where 0). The turning point is on the ais of smmetr: O The ais of smmetr is halfwa between two distinct roots. O A repeated root lies on the ais of smmetr. Parabolas with no real roots There are no -ais intercepts. Find the -ais intercept (i.e. where 0). Find the turning point b completing the square. EXAMPLES 1. Sketch the graph of 8 7. Page 7

9 . Sketch the parabola with equation Sketch the curve with equation Page 8

10 5 Determining the Equation of a Parabola RC Given the equation of a parabola, we have seen how to sketch its graph. We will now consider the opposite problem: finding an equation for a parabola based on information about its graph. We can find the equation given: the roots and another point, the turning point and another point. When we know the roots If a parabola has roots aand b then its equation is of the form where k is some constant. k a b If we know another point on the parabola, then we can find the value of k. EXAMPLES 1. A parabola passes through the points 1, 0, 5, 0 and 0, 3. Find the equation of the parabola. Page 9

11 . Find the equation of the parabola shown below. 1, 6 5 O When we know the turning point Recall from Completing the Square that a parabola with turning point pq, has an equation of the form where a is some constant. a p q If we know another point on the parabola, then we can find the value of a. EXAMPLE 3. Find the equation of the parabola shown below. O 4, 7 Page 10

12 6 Solving Quadratic Inequalities RC The most efficient wa of solving a quadratic inequalit is b making a rough sketch of the parabola. To do this we need to know: the shape concave up or concave down, the -ais intercepts. We can then solve the quadratic inequalit b inspection of the sketch. EXAMPLES 1. Solve Find the values of for which Page 11

13 3. Solve Find the range of values of for which the curve is strictl increasing Remember Strictl increasing means d 0 d. 5. Find the values of q for which q 4 1 q 0 has no real roots. Page 1

14 7 Intersections of Lines and Parabolas RC To determine how man times a line intersects a parabola, we substitute the equation of the line into the equation of the parabola. We can then use the discriminant, or factorisation, to find the number of intersections. If b 4ac 0, the line and curve intersect twice. If b 4ac 0, the line and curve intersect once (i.e. the line is a tangent to the curve). If b 4ac 0, the line and the parabola do not intersect. EXAMPLES 1. Show that the line 5 is a tangent to the parabola and find the point of contact. Page 13

15 . Find the equation of the tangent to 1 that has gradient 3. Note You could also do this question using methods from Differentiation. 8 Polnomials RC Polnomials are epressions with one or more terms added together, where each term has a number (called the coefficient) followed b a variable (such as ) raised to a whole number power. For eample: or The degree of the polnomial is the value of its highest power, for eample: has degree has degree 18. Note that quadratics are polnomials of degree two. Also, constants are 0 polnomials of degree zero (e.g. 6 is a polnomial, since 6 6 ). Page 14

16 9 Snthetic Division RC Snthetic division provides a quick wa of evaluating polnomials. 3 For eample, consider f 9 1. Evaluating directl, we find f We can also evaluate this using snthetic division with detached coefficients. Step 1 Detach the coefficients, and write them across the top row of the table. Note that the must be in order of decreasing degree. If there is no term of a specific degree, then zero is its coefficient. 9 1 Step Write the number for which ou want to evaluate the polnomial (the input number) to the left Step 3 Bring down the first coefficient Step 4 Multipl this b the input number, writing the result underneath the net coefficient. Step 5 Add the numbers in this column. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until the last column has been completed. The number in the lower-right cell is the value of the polnomial for the input value, often referred to as the remainder f 6 Page 15

17 EXAMPLE 3 1. Given f 40, evaluate f using snthetic division. Note In this eample, the remainder is zero, so f 0. 3 This means 40 0 when, which means that is a root of the equation. So must be a factor of the cubic. We can use this to help with factorisation: f q where q is a quadratic Is it possible to find the quadratic q using the table? Tring the numbers from the bottom row as coefficients, we find: f So using the numbers from the bottom row as coefficients has given the correct quadratic. In fact, this method alwas gives the correct quadratic, making snthetic division a useful tool for factorising polnomials. EXAMPLES. Show that 4 is a factor of Page 16

18 3 3. Given f 37 84, show that 7 is a root of f 0, and hence full factorise f. 4. Show that 5 is a root of factorise the cubic , and hence full Using snthetic division to factorise In the eamples above, we have been given a root or factor to help factorise polnomials. However, we can still use snthetic division if we do not know a factor or root. Provided that the polnomial has an integer root, it will divide the constant term eactl. So b tring snthetic division with all divisors of the constant term, we will eventuall find the integer root. 5. Full factorise Note For 1, it is simpler just to evaluate the polnomial directl, to see if these values are roots. Page 17

19 Using snthetic division to solve equations We can also use snthetic division to help solve equations. EXAMPLE 6. Find the solutions of The Factor Theorem and Remainder Theorem For a polnomial If f : f is divided b h h, and is a factor of f. then the remainder is f f h 0 h As we saw, snthetic division helps us to write h q f h where q is called the quotient and f f in the form h the remainder. Page 18

20 EXAMPLE 3 7. Find the quotient and remainder when f 4 1 is divided b 1, and epress f as 1 q f h. 10 Finding Unknown Coefficients RC Consider a polnomial with some unknown coefficients, such as 3 p p 4, where p is a constant. If we divide the polnomial b h, then we will obtain an epression for the remainder in terms of the unknown constants. If we alread know the value of the remainder, we can solve for the unknown constants. EXAMPLES 1. Given that 3 is a factor of 3 p 4, find the value of p. Note This is just the same snthetic division procedure we are used to. Page 19

21 3. When f p q 17 4q is divided b, the remainder is 6, and 1 is a factor of f. Find the values of p and q. Note There is no need to use snthetic division here, but ou could if ou wish. Page 0

22 11 Finding Intersections of Curves RC We have alread met intersections of lines and parabolas in this outcome, but we were mainl interested in finding equations of tangents We will now look at how to find the actual points of intersection and not just for lines and parabolas; the technique works for an polnomials. EXAMPLES 1. Find the points of intersection of the line 4 4 and the parabola 1. To find intersections, equate:. Find the coordinates of the points of intersection of the cubic and the line 3 5. To find intersections, equate: Remember You can use snthetic division to help with factorising. Page 1

23 3. The curves 4 and are shown below A O B C 4 Find the -coordinates of A, B and C, where the curves intersect. Remember You can use snthetic division to help with factorising. 4. Find the -coordinates of the points where the curves 3 and Page

24 1 Determining the Equation of a Curve RC Given the roots, and at least one other point ling on the curve, we can establish its equation using a process similar to that used when finding the equation of a parabola. EXAMPLE 1. Find the equation of the cubic shown in the diagram below. 6 3 O 1 36 Step 1 Write out the roots, then rearrange to get the factors. Step The equation then has these factors multiplied together with a constant, k. Step 3 Substitute the coordinates of a known point into this equation to find the value of k. Step 4 Replace k with this value in the equation. Page 3

25 Repeated Roots If a repeated root eists, then a stationar point lies on the -ais. Recall that a repeated root eists when two roots, and hence two factors, are equal. EXAMPLE. Find the equation of the cubic shown in the diagram below. 9 O 3 Note 3 is a repeated root, so the factor ( 3) appears twice in the equation. Page 4
