While the ultimate goal is the same‚ to determine the value(s) that hold true for the equation‚ solving quadratic equations requires much more than simply isolating the variable‚ as is required in solving linear equations. This piece will outline the different types of quadratic equations‚ strategies for solving each type‚ as well as other methods of solutions such as Completing the Square and using the Quadratic Formula. Knowledge of factoring perfect square trinomials and simplifying radical expression

What is the DuPont equation‚ and how does it capture the nature of expense control‚ efficiency of asset management‚ and financial leverage (or debt) of a firm? If you were the CFO of your firm (or a hypothetical firm)‚ what variable would you concentrate your efforts on and why? The DuPont equation is a method of measurement that was started by the DuPont Corporation in the 1920s. In this method of measurement the assets are measured at their gross book value rather than at their net book value which

Chemical Reactions Lab Synthesis Reactions: Synthesis reactions occur when two elements or compounds combine to create one single compound. The general equation of synthesis reactions is: A+B→AB. The following are the complete balanced equations for the five synthesis reactions performed in the lab. Reaction 1: Reaction 2: Reaction 3: Reaction 4: Reaction 5: The reaction of CO2 and water is a prime example of a synthesis reaction. This is a synthesis reaction because it follows the general

Band broadening theory (Van Deemter equation) It is well recognized now that column band broadening originates from three main sources: 1. multiple path of an analyte through the column packing; 2. molecular diffusion; 3. effect of mass transfer between phases. In 1956 J.J. Van Deemter introduced the equation which combined all three sources and represented them as the dependence of the theoretical plate height (HETP) on the mobile phase linear velocity. Originally‚ it was introduced for gas

Quadratic Equations Equations Quadratic MODULE - I Algebra 2 Notes QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Recall that an algebraic equation of the second degree is written in general form as ax 2 + bx + c = 0‚ a ≠ 0 It is called a quadratic equation in x. The coefficient ‘a’ is the first or leading coefficient‚ ‘b’ is the second or middle coefficient and ‘c’ is the constant term (or third coefficient). For example‚ 7x² + 2x + 5 = 0‚ 5 1 x² + x + 1 = 0‚ 2 2 1 = 0‚ 2 x² + 7x = 0‚ are all
