	Solve x(x-3) = 5 (x+4)		2011-04-19
		From Ashley: I have to solve using the quadratic formula. And my answer should be in simplest exact form. And I can't approximate. I really need help to prepare for a test .... x(x-3) = 5 (x+4) Answered by Penny Nom.
	A model for the population of a Canadian city		2010-04-07
		From jess: Let t^2 represent t-squared. The population of a Canadian City is modelled by: f(t) = 12t^2 + 800t + 40,000, where t is the time in years. When t= 0, the year is 2007. a) According to the model, what will the population be in 2010? B) In what year is the population predicted to be 300,000? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Completing the square		2009-04-27
		From Daniel: I tried following an example of yours but I still couldn't figure it out. Here is my question, 2x^2 - 6x + 1 = 0. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	Winding paper after a break		2009-04-10
		From Olen: Question from Olen: I work in a paper mill and have been handed the task to search for a formula to determine how much paper needs to be added to a parent roll to make up the difference at the winder. (Ex. The spool diameter at the reel is 18.25" we measure roughly 33.5" to make two 58" rolls in the winder. If the is a paper break and the roll diameter in the winder is 30" how much do I add to a single parent roll (22" roughly) to make one 58 " and the 28" needed at the winder. I would appreciate any help to complete this task. I would like to be able to build a chart that operators can refer to based on what is needed. Thank you. Answered by Harley Weston.
	Gravity's Effect at a Distance		2008-12-06
		From ROHAN: AT WHAT HEIGHT FROM THE SURFACE OF EARTH,THE WEIGHT OF THE BODY BECOMES HALF? (RADIUS OF THE EARTH = 6400) Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	A Falling Rock		2008-07-11
		From Rita: This question has 3 parts. If a rock falls from a height of 20 meters on the planet Jupiter, its height H (in meters) after x seconds is about H(x) = 20 - 13x^2 (a) What is the height of the rock when x = 1.2 seconds? (b) When is the height of the rock 15 meters? (c) When does the rock strike the ground? Thank you Answered by Janice Cotcher.
	Shooting an arrow over a wall		2007-12-11
		From Amy: The path of a large arrow fired from a non torsion catapult can be modeled by y=-0.0044x^2 + 1.68x, where x is the distance the arrow travelled (in yards) and y is the height of the arrow (in yards). Given the height of a castle wall, find the safest distance from the wall to launch an arrow over a 120 yard-high wall. Answered by Victoria West and Stephen La Rocque.
	Four triangles in a square		2007-10-15
		From Kristina: A square with side lengths of 6 cm is divided into 3 right triangles and a larger isosceles triangle. If the three right triangles have equal area, find the exact area of the isosceles triangle. Answered by Stephen La Rocque.

	Finding the x-intercept		2007-03-02
		From Ash: Y = -1/100X^2 =27/10X +0 = 0 THE Y INTERCEPT IS 50 HOW DO I FIND THE X INTERCEPT Answered by Gabriel Potter.
	The quadratic formula		2006-03-03
		From Miriam: Please show work and indicate "answer", using the quadratic formula - (x+2) (2x+3) = 6 Answered by penny Nom.
	The quadratic formula		2003-08-31
		From Alex: I am using Houghton Mifflin's Precalculus with Limits book, 2nd edition. However, the first chapter encompasses Algebra review, and I am stuck on a problem. All that's required is to solve the following and verify using a calculator: 3y2+6y+2=0 I have solved the problem using the quadratic formula, but from what I remember, the quadratic formula is used in the case of equations following the AX2+BX+C=0 pattern. As the problem I am attempting uses a y-variable, can I still use the quadratic formula? Since I am not sure what route to take in solving this problem, I am hoping you can assist me. Answered by Harley Weston.
	The quadratic formula		2002-09-11
		From Kathleen: im having a problem trying to understand quadratic formulas can u please help me i have problems like 3x2 - 4x - 11 = 0 how do i work out that problem? i have the formula written down but it doesnt seem to register for me. Answered by Penny Nom.
	The Quadratic Formula		1999-01-22
		From Eric Morgan: Hi my name is Eric Morgan and I m in 8th Grade honors math (middle) and I'd like to know how to prove the quadratic formula -b±sqrt of b(a)(c)over 2(a) Answered by Penny Nom.
	Complex numbers and the quadratic formula		1998-12-25
		From Richard Peter: My age is 16, and my name is Richard. My question relates to the topic complex numbers & the quadratic formula. I would like to know how to solve quadratic equations in which the discriminant is less than 0 (i.e. we get two complex solutions to the quadratic) 3x2+2x+5 = 0 and how mathematicians like euler contributed to this field. If it would be possible I would also like to know how this type of quadratic equations can be graphed? Answered by Harley Weston.
