    Hello
In summary, these types of math problems are known as word problems or applied problems, and they require students to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations. They differ from regular math problems in that they involve critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to interpret and analyze information. To solve these types of problems, students need a strong understanding of mathematical concepts and can use strategies such as identifying key information, creating visual representations, and working backwards from the solution. To improve skills in solving these problems, it is important to have a strong foundation in mathematical concepts, practice with similar problems and different strategies, and seek help from a teacher or tutor if needed.

Numbers 1 & 2 are called quadratic equations. Number 3 is long division of polynomials.
 
  • #3
This is algebra-precalculus, and if I had to give a general name to all the three problems you're given, I'd say they are problems related to “polynomials.” Otherwise, yes, the first two are quadratic equations and the third one is polynomial division, as Saladsamurai said.
 

1. What are these types of math problems called?

These types of math problems are generally referred to as word problems or applied problems. They require students to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations.

2. How are these math problems different from regular math problems?

These math problems are different from regular math problems because they involve real-life scenarios and require critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They also often require students to interpret and analyze information before applying mathematical concepts.

3. What skills are needed to solve these types of math problems?

To solve these types of math problems, students need to have a strong understanding of mathematical concepts and be able to apply them to real-life situations. They also require critical thinking skills, logical reasoning, and the ability to interpret and analyze information.

4. Can these types of math problems be solved using a specific strategy?

Yes, there are various strategies that can be used to solve these types of math problems. Some common strategies include identifying key information, creating a visual representation, and working backwards from the solution.

5. How can I improve my skills in solving these types of math problems?

To improve your skills in solving these types of math problems, it is important to first have a strong foundation in mathematical concepts. You can also practice by solving similar problems and using different problem-solving strategies. Additionally, seeking help from a teacher or tutor can also be beneficial.
