Identify same values of two quadratic equation

In summary: An algebraic expression just describes an expression without making any statement about its value.In summary, the conversation discusses two algebraic expressions and whether it is possible to determine if the two expressions have the same values. The solution involves completing the square and factoring into primes, but it may become difficult for larger numbers.

Say there are two quadratic equation
4x2+560x+296 and
4x2+4x

Is there a way to know that two quadratic equation have same values.

Thank you.

You mean whether the two expressions are equivalent?
 
  • #3
No. These two equation gives many values starting with x=1 respectively.

I should have written the second equation with 'y' variable.
 
  • #4
So ##4x^2+560x+296## and ##4y^2+4y## and you're asking how to find whether ##x=y##?
 
  • #5
If you mean that you want to find which (if any) values satisfy ##4x^2 + 560x + 296 = 4x^2 + 4x##, then any such value must satisfy

## 4x^2 + 560x + 296 - 4x^2 - 4x = 556x + 296 = 0##

The solution is fairly straightforward from there.

for e.g the value 2600 satisfy both the equation.
I forgot to mention , only whole number values that are same to both the equation.

x=4 to 1st equation and x=25 to the 2nd equation results 2600.

edit: the variable should be a natural number.

So you want to find all natural numbers ##(n,m)## such that

[tex]4n^2 + 560n + 296 = 4m^2 + 4m[/tex]

Completing the square, we get

[tex](2n + 140)^2 - 19304 = (2m + 1)^2 - 1[/tex]

So if you have such numbers ##(m,n)##, then you have also found natural numbers ##(k,l)## (namely ##k = 2n+140## and ##l=2m+1##) such that

[tex]k^2 - l^2 = 19303[/tex]

Factorizing into primes, we get

[tex](k+l)(k-l) = 97\cdot 199[/tex]

So we have two situations:

First, we can have ##k-l = 97## and ##k+l = 199##. In this case, we have ##(k,l) = (148,51)##.
The second solution is where ##k-l = 1## and ##k+l = 19303##. In this case, we have ##(k,l) = (9652, 9651)##.

Those solutions ##(k,l)## have
[tex]k=2n+140~\text{and}~l = 2m+1[/tex]
In the first case, we have ##2n+140 = 148## and ##2m+1 = 51##. This gets us the solutions ##n=4## and ##m=25## you have also found.
In the second case, we have ##2n + 140 = 9652## and ##2m + 1 = 9651##. This gets us the solutions ##n=4756## and ##m=4852##.

The previous shows that these are the only solutions.

Thanks a lot. But it will become impossible to factor larger number (here, it is 19303). There is no formula to factor them.

So won't be able to tell with equation, which give larger number.

So the form, for the number ,

19303 = ( 2 n + 140 )2 - (2m + 1)2.

This way any larger number can be formed. For primality test, this still, ask the factor of the number.

For number 104661, I can write

4 x2 + 1304 x + 1614 = 4 y2 + 4 y

i.e ( 2 x + 326 )2 - 104662 = ( 2 y +1 )2 - 1

which will be,

( 2 x + 326 ) 2 - ( 2 y + 1 ) 2 = 104661
If I will be able to solve x and y (both as natural number), I can say 104661 is not a prime number.

Also 104661 need to be checked with

( 2 x + 325) 2 - ( 2 y )2 = 104661

as well. These two equation changes gradually with all the numbers.

Minor point, but these are NOT equations -- they are algebraic expressions. An equation always has an "equals" symbol in it somewhere. An equation is a statement about two expressions that have the same value.
 

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree, meaning it contains a variable raised to the power of two.

How do I identify the values of a quadratic equation?

To identify the values of a quadratic equation, you will need to solve for the variables using the quadratic formula or by factoring the equation.

What are the common values of two quadratic equations?

The common values of two quadratic equations are the solutions or roots of the equations, which are the values that make the equation equal to zero.

How do I compare the values of two quadratic equations?

To compare the values of two quadratic equations, you can graph them on a coordinate plane or solve for the values and compare them algebraically.

Why is it important to identify the same values of two quadratic equations?

Identifying the same values of two quadratic equations allows you to determine if the equations are equivalent, intersect at certain points, or have no common values. This information can provide insight into the relationship between the two equations and their solutions.
