Lesson 14Applications of Quadratic EquationsWhen solving application problems, it is helpful to have a procedure thatyou follow in order to solve the problem. The following are the steps thatI will use when solving Applications of Quadratic Equations:Steps for Solving Quadratic Story Problems:1. draw a picture2. define unknown variables3. set-up equations4. solveOnce again when solving applied problems I will include questions in mynotes to help set-up equations. Keep in mind that the questions below inred will not appear in the homework, or on quizzes and exams; these aresimply questions that you should be asking yourself when you seeproblems like these in order to help get equations that you can solve.Also keep in mind the various methods that weβve covered thus far forsolving quadratic equations:- solve by factoring (only works when polynomials are factorable)o write the equation as a polynomial set equal to zero, factor, useZero Factor Theorem- solve by extracting square roots (only works with perfect squares)o isolate the perfect square and take the square root of both sidesof the equation- solve by completing the square (works for all quadratic equations)o divide by the leading coefficient, isolate the constant, add halfthe square of the coefficient of π₯ to both sides of the equation,factor, solve as a special quadratic equation- solve using the quadratic formula (works for all quadratic equations)o identify π, π, π, plug-in to the formula, simplify completely1

The cost of refinishing the hardwood floors is 4.50 per square foot and the cost ofpurchasing and installing the new baseboard is 12.00 per linear foot. Ifthe family paid 1,224, what are the dimensions their dining room (widthand length)?Draw a diagram of the square dining room and labels the sides. (if youdonβt know the side length, assign a variable to represent this value)The floor represent the area of the room, so write an expression for thecost to re-finish the hardwood floors based on the area of the room.The baseboard represent the perimeter of the room, so write an expressionfor the cost to install new baseboards based on the perimeter of the room.Write an equation for the total cost of the job, and use that equation tosolve for your variable.πππ π‘ ππ ππππππ πππ π‘ ππ πππ ππππππ π‘ππ‘ππ πππ π‘4

To convert a fraction (ordecimal) of an hour to minutes I can multiply it by 60 (60 minutes in anhour) to get 40 minutes.
