Pre-Calc 11 – Week 9 –
Today I am going to explain how to word problems. This is something that I have had trouble with this week, so I am going to give some tips that I have learned to help.
First, every word problem wants you to create two equations from it’s poblem. These two equations will be what you use to solve the problem. From these equations, you will create a quadratic equation. Then, you will use that equation to solve the problem. Next, if the equation is asking you about people and money (or two different things) you would put people with people and money with money in your equation. Then, like the last one you will turn this equation into a quadratic equation by using FOIL and add all the like terms together to give you a quadratic equation that you will use to solve the question.
