Write an equation for the proportional relationship shown in the table. x 0.5 1 1.5 2
y 25 50 75 100

"standard form:

3x2 + 14x − 10 = 0

solutions based on quadratic formula:

x1   = −14 − √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 − 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ −5.296

x2   = −14 + √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 + 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ 0.629

if the angular bisector of an triangle bisects the opposite side, prove that the other two sides are equal.
