The trinomial must be one of the following form .

Examples for free sample trinomial:

1. 9x + 3y + 5z , where x , y, z are variables.

2. xy + x + 2y, Where x, y are variables.

3. x2+x-8, where x is variable.

4. ax + by + c = 0 , Where a,b,c are constants and x,y are variables.

That is (x+3y-2)2

We can apply the following formukla to find the square for the above trinomial,

( a + b + c)2 = a2+b2+c2+2ab+2bc+2ca

(x+3y-2)2  = x2+(3y)2+22+2(x)(3y)+2(3y)(-2)+2(-2)(x)

= x2+9y2+4+6xy-12y-4x

= x2 - 12x + 13x -156

= x ( x - 12 ) + 13 ( x -12 )

= (x+13) (x-12)

Answer: (x+13) and  (x-12) are the factors of the given trinomial.

Problem 3:

Solve the trinomial 2x2 - 2x = 12.

Length of Line Segment


The line segment is the straight line and it has two points. They are starting point and ending point. The starting point is in the starting place of the line and the ending point is in the ending place of the line. The length of line segment is the distance between the starting point and ending point of a line.

Diagram and formula - Length of line segment:

The formula to find the length of the line segment with two points (x1,y1) and (x2, y2) is

Distance d = `sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)`

Finding Orthocenter


Orthocentre is point of intersection of all the three altitudes of a triangle.

The altitude of a triangle is the line perpendicular from one vertex to the opposite side.

Steps to find the orthocentre of triangle ABC algebrically :-

1) Find the equation of any two altitudes of the triangle

The slope of the line joining the opposite side BC  is calculated ,

Then,  the perpendicular slope is then calculated.

slope of a line is `(y2 - y1 )/(x2-x1)` =  m ,

perpendicular slope is  `(-1)/(m)`

Given are vertex A and slope of line,

we plug the values in y = mx +b we get the y intercept b

The equation of the altitude is y = mx + b

Same way we find the equation of the other altitude

2) Find point of intersection of the two altitudes is the orthocentre of the triangle.

Steps to find the orthocentre of a triangle graphically:

1) First we plot all the points of the triangle

2) We draw two altitudes of the trianlge

3) The point of intersection of the altitudes is the Orthocentre

Examples of Solving Orthocentre

Find the orthocentre of the of the triangle ABC whose vertices are A(-2,-1) , B ( -1,-4) and C (0,-5) .

Solution:    {i) Equation of altitude AD which is perpendicular to BC

x 2 = -1, y2 = -4 , x 1 = 0 , y1 = -5

slope of a line BC is  `(-4 +5)/(-1-0)` =  `(1)/(-1)`  =  -1

slope of line AD is `(-1)/(-1)` =  1

Line AD passes through A(-2,-1) and slope m = 1,

Equation of line is y = 1x +b

we plug in x = -2, y = -1,  we get,

-1 = -2 + b

-1 +2  = b

b = 1

Equation of AD is   y = x + 1 ------------------> 1
(ii) Equation of Altitude BE perpendicular to AC

x2 = 0, y2 = -5, x1 = -2, y1 = -1

slope of AC =  `(-5+1)/(0+2)` = `(-4)/(2)`  =  -2

Perpendicular slope is  `(-1)/(-2)`  =  `1/(1/2)`  = slope of BE

Equation of BE is y = `(1)/(2)` x + b

B (-1,-4)  Plug in x = -1, y = -4              ,

-4   = -1/2 +b

-4 + 1/2 = b ,  b = 7/2

Altitude BE is        y = `(1)/(2)` x + `(7)/(2)`  ---------------> 2

(iii) Point of intersection of AD , BE

Solve 1 and 2,    x +1  = `(1)/(2)` x + `(7)/(2)`

we get (-9,-8)

Solving Orthocentre of Different Types of Triangles using Graphs

Orthocentre of a right angled triangle is the vertex which is the right angle.

Orthocentre of a an obtuse angled triangle is  outside the triangle.

For an equilateral triangle , the orthocenter lies on the perpendicular bisector of each side of the triangle.

Some graphs to illustrate the above facts:-

Does Geometry use Integers



The geometry generally use the integers and the variables. The answer for the question "Does geometry use integers?" is yes, the geometry uses the integers.For specific purpose of using the geometry with integers, the separate topic available as algebraic geometry. The integers are used for to represent the co-ordinates in vertex, some equations of the line in the 2d geometry. The examples and practice problems are given below for the question "Does geometry use integers or not?".



some examples to explain "does geometry use integers"


  • Consider the given points  (4,4), (2,3), (8,3), (6, 2 ), (5, 1) and plot them in the graph. And also we have to denote the quadrant in which each of the point lies.
Solution:
coordinate plane plot
The plotted points in the coordinate plane are shown in the graph. All the co-ordinates of the points are in positive so all will be in the first quadrant itself. And also that  the co-ordinates of the points are not having the zero term, they are all having only the non-zero values. Therefore the points are not lie on the x-axis and the y-axis.
  • Consider the points (−3, −4) and (−9, 11) and find the horizontal and the vertical distances between them.
Solution:
For the points (−3, −4) and (−9, 11) The horizontal distance between the two points is a distance between the point corresponding to x coordinates−3 and −9 on the number line x- axis; i.e., (−3) − (−9) = 9 − 3 = 6. and the vertical distances between the two points is the distance between the points corresponding to y co-ordinates −4 and 11 on the number line y axis; i.e., (11) − (−4) = 15.

some more problems to explain "does geometry use integers"


  • Consider the line passing through (5,6) and (15,9) and state whether the line is rising up or falling down find the slope.
Solution:
slope
Take (5,6) as (x1, y1) and (15, 9) as (x2, y2). Then the slope of the line is

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

  = `(9-6)/(15-5)`
  = `3/10`



The slope is a positive(+ve) number and so the line is rising up. Here the geometry is used to determine(find) the direction of the lines using the integers.
  • Consider the line passing through (−16, 29) and (40, −6) and state whether the line is rising up or falling down and find the slope.slope
Solution:
The slope of the line is
m = y2-y1 / x2-x1
  = `(-6-29)/(40-(-16))`

  = `-35/56` 
  = `-5/8`


Here m is a negative number, the line will be falling down
In this problem the geometry is used to determine the direction of the lines using the integers.
