Overview
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...+ 6 x)--1 = 6. Then, x2 + 6x = 7 or-5. Completing the square, Xs + 6 x + 9 = 16 or 4. Extracting square roots, x + 3= 4or 2. Then, x =-3 4 or-3 2 = 1, -7, -1, or-5. In solving equations like the above, the first step is to complete the square with reference to the x4 and x8 terms; by 447, the third term of the square is the square of the quotient obtained by dividing the x term by twice the square root of the x1 term. The only solution is Vo2--6 x + 20 = 6. Squaring, a?--6 x + 20 = 36. Completing the square, x--6 x + 9 = 25. Extracting square roots, x--3 = 5, and x = 8 or--2. In solving equations of the above form, add such an expression to both members that the expression without the radical sign in the first member may be the same as that within, or some multiple of it. XXI. SIMULTANEOUS QUADRATIC EQUATIONS 0i the double signs and: p. If two or more double signs are used in an equation, it will be understood that the equation can be read in two ways; first, reading all the upper signs; second, reading all the lower signs. Thus, the equation o 6 = c can be read either a + b = c, or o--6 =--c. And the equation a b = c can be read either a + b =--c, or a--b = c. The same notation will be used in the case of a system of equations, each involving double signs. Thus, the equations x = 2, y = 3, can be read either x = + 2, y = + 3, or x =-2, y =-3. And the equations x = 2, y = qp 3, can be read either X = + 2, y =-3, or x =-2, y = + 3. The principles demonstrated in 233 to 236, inclusive, hold for simultaneous equations of any degree. 470. The following principle is of frequent use in solving simultaneous equations of higher degree...
