Swimming Pool and Rectangle Problems

The video tutorial explains how to form a quadratic equation from the area of a rectangle. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a detailed explanation of how to use the dimensions of a rectangle to form an equation. The tutorial then demonstrates how to manipulate and simplify the equation. Finally, an example involving a swimming pool is provided to illustrate the application of the method.

What is the main topic of the video?

• Solving quadratic equations

• Understanding linear equations

• Forming quadratic equations from the area of a rectangle

• Calculating the perimeter of a rectangle

What is the width of the rectangle described in the video?

• x + 2

• 2x + 4

• 3x + 5

• 9x

What does the term 'show that' imply in mathematics?

• Graph the equation

• Estimate the solution

• Prove the equation can be derived

• Solve the equation

How is the area of a rectangle calculated?

• Length + Width

• Length x Width

• Length - Width

• 2 x (Length + Width)

What is the initial equation set up for the rectangle's area?

• 9x - (2x + 4) = 45

• 9x / (2x + 4) = 45

• 9x x (2x + 4) = 45

• 9x + 2x + 4 = 45

What common factor is used to simplify the equation?

• 9

• 3

• 6

• 12

What is the final form of the equation after rearranging?

• 2x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0

• 2x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0

• 2x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0

• 2x^2 - 4x + 5 = 0

What is the length of the swimming pool in the new problem?

• 15

• X

• X - 15

• X + 15

How is the width of the swimming pool described?

• 15 meters longer than the length

• 15 meters shorter than the length

• Equal to the length

• Twice the length

What is the area of the swimming pool?

• 2500

• 3000

• 2860

• 2000
