Calculating the discriminant: \[ b^2 - 4ac = (-5)^2 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 1 = 25 - 12 = 13 \] Now applying the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{13}}{6} \] Calculating the two roots: 1. \( x_{1} = \frac{5 - \sqrt{13}}{6} \approx 0.23 \) 2. \( x_{2} = \frac{5 + \sqrt{13}}{6} \approx 1.43 \) Thus, the solutions rounded to two decimal places are: \[ x_{1} \approx 0.23, \quad x_{2} \approx 1.43 \] #### 1.1.3 \( 2\left(x^{2}-3 x\right)>-4 \) First, we simplify the inequality: \[ 2x^{2} - 6x + 4 > 0 \] Dividing through by 2: \[ x^{2} - 3x + 2 > 0 \] Factoring the quadratic: \[ (x-1)(x-2) > 0 \] To find the intervals where this inequality holds, we analyze the critical points \( x = 1 \) and \( x = 2 \). The test intervals are: - \( (-\infty, 1) \) - \( (1, 2) \) - \( (2, +\infty) \) Testing these intervals: - For \( x < 1 \) (e.g., \( x = 0 \)): \( (0-1)(0-2) > 0 \) is true. - For \( 1 < x < 2 \) (e.g., \( x = 1.5 \)): \( (1.5-1)(1.5-2) < 0 \) is false. - For \( x > 2 \) (e.g., \( x = 3 \)): \( (3-1)(3-2) > 0 \) is true. Thus, the solution is: \[ x \in (-\infty, 1) \cup (2, +\infty) \] ### 1.2 Solve for \( x \) and \( y \) simultaneously Given the equations: 1. \( x = 4 - y \) 2. \( 2^{x} \times 2^{y} = 2^{x^{2}+3} \) Substituting \( x \) from the first equation into the second: \[ 2^{4-y} \times 2^{y} = 2^{(4-y)^{2}+3} \] This simplifies to: \[ 2^{4} = 2^{(4-y)^{2}+3} \] Thus, we have: \[ 4 = (4-y)^{2} + 3 \] Subtracting 3 from both sides: \[ 1 = (4-y)^{2} \] Taking the square root: \[ 4 - y = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad 4 - y = -1 \] This gives: 1. \( y = 3 \) leading to \( x = 1 \) 2. \( y = 5 \) leading to \( x = -1 \) Thus, the solutions are: \[ (x,y) = (-1,5) \quad \text{or} \quad (x,y) = (1,3) \] ### 1.3 For which value of \( r \) will \( 2 x^{2}-2 x=r \) have equal roots? For a quadratic equation to have equal roots, the discriminant must be zero. The equation can be rewritten as: \[ 2x^{2} - 2x - r = 0 \] The discriminant \( D \) is given by: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (-2)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot (-r) = 4 + 8r \] Setting the discriminant to zero for equal roots: \[ 4 + 8r = 0 \] Solving for \( r \): \[ 8r = -4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r = -\frac{1}{2} \] Thus, the value of \( r \) for which the equation has equal roots is: \[ r = -\frac{1}{2} \]

To solve \( x(x+1)=0 \), we set each factor to zero: \( x = 0 \) or \( x + 1 = 0 \), giving us \( x = -1 \). For \( 3x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0 \), we apply the quadratic formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \) with \( a=3, b=-5, c=1 \). This gives \( x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 1}}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 12}}{6} = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{13}}{6} \). Evaluating the solutions gives us approximate values of \( x \approx 1.87 \) and \( x \approx 0.13 \). To solve \( 2(x^2 - 3x) > -4 \), we first simplify it to \( 2x^2 - 6x + 4 > 0 \) or \( x^2 - 3x + 2 > 0 \). Factoring gives \( (x-1)(x-2) > 0 \). The critical points are \( x=1 \) and \( x=2 \). Analyzing intervals around these points shows that the inequality holds for \( x < 1 \) or \( x > 2 \). To solve the simultaneous equations \( x = 4 - y \) and \( 2^x \cdot 2^y = 2^{x^2 + 3} \), we can substitute \( x \) into the second equation. Thus, \( 2^{4-y} \cdot 2^y = 2^{(4-y)^2 + 3} \). This simplifies to \( 2^4 = 2^{(4-y)^2 + 3} \). Setting the exponents equal gives \( 4 = (4-y)^2 + 3 \), simplifying to \( (4-y)^2 = 1 \). This results in \( 4 - y = 1 \) or \( 4 - y = -1 \), leading to \( y = 3 \) and \( y = 5 \). Substituting back gives \( (x, y) = (1, 3) \) and \( (x, y) = (-1, 5) \). To determine the value of \( r \) for the equation \( 2x^2 - 2x = r \) to have equal roots, we set the discriminant to zero. The discriminant is given by \( b^2 - 4ac \), where \( a = 2, b = -2, c = -r \). Thus, \( (-2)^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot (-r) = 0 \), leading to \( 4 + 8r = 0 \). Solving for \( r \) gives \( r = -\frac{1}{2} \).
