13.) Find two positive consecutive integers 16.) Solve for real numbers   satisfying the
whose product is 506. inequality  .
Solution
Let   is equal to the smaller number and    Solution
be the larger number.

Squaring both sides of the inequality,

 or  .

Answer: 22 and 23  or 


14.) If   and if  , find the
larger root of  .
Answer: x = 1 and x = 9
Solution
17.) Find the minimum value of x^2 – 8x + 3.
Solution
Let  .

The graph of the function opens upward, so we


transform it to the vertex form a(x – h)^2 + k =
0 to get the minimum value which is (h,k).

So, h = 4 and k = – 13. The minimum value is


-13.
Answer: -13

18.) Find the smallest value of   for all


real number  .
Solution
You can make   as small as possible, so the
answer is 
Answer: 
19.) Solve for   in the
equation  .
Solution

Dividing both sides by  ,

Answer:  .
20.) Write the quadratic equations with
