Practice Test: Quadratic Equations - Question 14

The length of a hypotenuse of a right triangle exceeds the length of its base by 2 cm and exceeds twice the length of the altitude by 1 cm. Find the length of each side of the triangle (in cm) :

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quadratic Equations - Question 14
- Let the base of the triangle be x cm.
- The hypotenuse is then x + 2 cm.
- The altitude is (x + 1) / 2 cm.
- According to the Pythagorean theorem: x^2 + ((x + 1) / 2)^2 = (x + 2)^2.
- Expanding and simplifying this equation leads to x = 8.
- Thus, the lengths of the sides are: base = 8 cm, altitude = 15 cm, hypotenuse = 17 cm.
- Therefore, the correct answer is 3: 8, 15, 17.
Practice Test: Quadratic Equations - Question 15

Practice Test: Quadratic Equations - Question 17

The sum of the squares of two consecutive positive odd numbers is 290. Find the sum of the numbers :

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Quadratic Equations - Question 17

Let one of the odd positive integer be x
then the other odd positive integer is x+2
their sum of squares = x² +(x+2)²
= x² + x² + 4x +4
= 2x² + 4x + 4
Given that their sum of squares = 290
⇒ 2x² +4x + 4 = 290
⇒ 2x² +4x = 290-4 = 286
⇒ 2x² + 4x -286 = 0
⇒ 2(x² + 2x - 143) = 0
⇒ x² + 2x - 143 = 0
⇒ x² + 13x - 11x -143 = 0
⇒ x(x+13) - 11(x+13) = 0
⇒ (x-11) = 0 , (x+13) = 0
Therfore , x = 11 or -13
We always take positive value of x
So , x = 11 and (x+2) = 11 + 2 = 13
Therefore , the odd positive integers are 11 and 13 .
