HOMEWORK – QUADRATICS

1. Product of two consecutive even numbers is 288. Find the two numbers

2. Difference between two numbers is 5 and sum of their squares is 377. Find the two numbers

3. Using the lengths of the sides of the triangle find the value of �.

4. In a rectangle length of a side is 7cm more than its width. Its diagonal is 13cm. Find the width
of the rectangle.

5. The diagram shows a trapezium. If the area of the trapezium is 224 ��2 , find the value of �.
All measurements are given in ��

6. In a right angle triangle lengths of the sides are �, � + 7 and � + 9. Find the value of �

7. Solve �4 − 10�2 + 9 = 0

8. Solve 2�6 + 7�3 − 15 = 0

9. Solve � − 6 � + 8 = 0

10. Solve � − 3 � − 10 = 0
11. Find the coordinates of the turning point in each of the following functions. Hence sketch the
graph of the function showing the turning point.

a) � = �2 − 6� + 13 f) � =− �2 − 6� + 7

b) � = �2 + 2� − 5 g) � =− �2 + 4� − 5

c) � = �2 − 5� + 7 h) � = �2 − 6�

d) � = �2 − 4� − 1 i) � = 3 − 2� − �2

e) � = 2�2 − 6� + 8

12. Solve the following simultaneous equations.

a) � = 3� − 5
� = 2� + 3 e) � = � − 2
� = �2 + 3� − 17

b) � =− � − 4
� = 2� + 2 f) � = � + 1
� = 3�2 − � − 7

�
c) � = 3 − 2
� = 2� − 7 g) � = � + 1
�2 + � = 31

d) � − � − 4 = 0
2� − 3� + 11 = 0 h) � − � + 1 = 0
�2 + �2 − � = 21
