    TOPIC: APPLICATION OF LINEAR AND QUDRATIC EQUATIONS TO CAPITAL MARKET


    1. Revision of solution of simultaneous linear and quadratic equations. E.g.
    2. Word problems on linear equation, simultaneous linear equation, quadratic equations.
    SUB-TOPIC: REVISION OF SOLUTION OF SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR AND QUADRATIC EQUATION
    We shall first revise simultaneous linear equations.
    Example: 1
    Suppose
    Solution
    We shall make two different equations from the given equality.
    ()
    Also ( )
    We arrange

    i.e ()
    ( )

    Substitute for y in equation (i) gives ( )


    Example 2: solve the pair of equations
    [ ]
    Solution
    We shall write both sides of the equation in terms of powers of the same base than solve
    simultaneously.

    Substituting for y in equation (i) gives ( )

    Let us consider a situation of simultaneous equation in which one is linear, the other is quadratic.
    Example 3;
    Solve

    Solution
    From one of the equations make one of the variables the subject of formula and substitute the
    other equation.
    ()
    ( )
    From (ii)
    Substituting for y in (i) we have ( )

    We shall now factor out 3.

    Example 5:
    A total wage bill of a school in a month is ₦980,000. There are 20 workers. Those that are
    university graduates are paid ₦100,000 a month and others are paid ₦15,000. Find the number
    of graduate sin the school.
    Solution
    Let the number of graduates be x
    Let the number of non-graduates be y
    If we divide the last equation by the equations becomes
    ()
    ( )
    () ( )

    There are 8 graduates in the school.


    Simultaneous equations can be solved graphically by drawing the graphs of the
    equations on the same axes. Their points of interception give the solutions. If one of the
    equations is quadratic, there are usually two pairs of equations.
    EVALUATION
    1. The cost of three pencils and one eraser is ₦22 while the cost of one pencil and two erasers is
    ₦16. Find the cost of five erasers.
    2. The sum of a two-digits number is 10. If the digits are interchanged the number decreases by 36.
    Find the number.
    3. In 2012, John was 24 years old while his mother was 45 years. In what year was John exactly half
    his mother’s age. (JAMB Adapted)
    4. A father is now three times as old as his son. Twelve years ago he was six times as old as his son.
    How old are the son and the father? JAMB
    5. A total wage bill of a company in a Month is 1.26 million naira. There are 18 workers. Those in
    the management cadre are paid₦150,000 a month and others ₦30,000. Find the number of
    managers in the company.
    6. A factory has skilled and unskilled workers. The skilled workers are paid ₦3,000 per day and
    unskilled ₦1,000 per day. If the total number of workers is 40 with a daily bill of ₦60,000 how
    many workers are skilled?
