PRINCIPLES OF PROBLEM SOLVING
1. By using the area formula for a triangle,
1
2
(base)(height), in two ways, we see that
1
2 (4)() =
1
2 ()(), so =
4
. Since 4 2 + 2 = 2 , =
√ 2
− 16, and
=
4 √ 2 − 16
.
2. Refer to Example 1, where we obtained =
2 − 100
2
. The 100 came from
4 times the area of the triangle. In this case, the area of the triangle is
1
2 ()(12) = 6. Thus, =
2 − 4(6)
2
⇒ 2 = 2 − 24 ⇒
2 + 24 = 2 ⇒ (2 + 24) = 2 ⇒ =
2
2 + 24 .
3.
4 − | + 1| = 3
⇒ 4 − | + 1| = −3 (Equation 1) or 4 − | + 1| = 3 (Equation 2).
If + 1 0, or −1, then | + 1| = −( + 1) = − − 1. If + 1 ≥ 0, or ≥ −1, then | + 1| = + 1.
We thus consider two cases, −1 (Case 1) and ≥ −1 (Case 2), for each of Equations 1 and 2.
Equation 1, Case 1: 4 − | + 1| = −3 ⇒ 4 − (− − 1) = −3 ⇒ 5 + 1 = −3 ⇒
5 = −4 ⇒ = − 4
5
which is invalid since −1.
Equation 1, Case 2: 4 − | + 1| = −3 ⇒ 4 − ( − 1) = −3 ⇒ 3 − 1 = −3 ⇒
3 = −2 ⇒ = − 2
3 , which is valid since ≥ −1.
Equation 2, Case 1: 4 − | + 1| = 3 ⇒ 4 − (− − 1) = 3 ⇒ 5 + 1 = 3 ⇒
5 = 2 ⇒ =
