pls HELp with maths

I'm making an EE bot and I need HELp because I suck at maths. So I need someone who's good at maths.

I have:
y = x * 25 + (x * 25) ^ 2

and I want it inverted:
x = ...

HELp is much appreciated.

Re: pls HELp with maths

It's a quadratic equation, there are 2 answers for x with every input of y

let z = (x * 25)
y = z + z^2
z^2 + z - y = 0
z = (-1 ± √(1 + 4y))/2
You'll get 2 answers for the z
z1 =  (-1 + √(1 + 4y))/2
z2 =  (-1 - √(1 + 4y))/2

then for each z find x

x = z/25

Edit: please note that if y = -¼ there will be only 1 answer because
± √0  is the same value for + and -

Also note that if y < -¼ you'll get negative value and you can't √ the negative value

So be sure to add some checks

Standard formula for quadratic equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

D = b^2 + 4ac

x = -b ± √D
          2a

What are you using it for? :O

Re: pls HELp with maths

y = x * 25 + (x * 25) ^ 2
y = x * 25 + x^2 + 50x + 625
y = x^2 + 75x + 625

y = ax^2 + bx + c

in this case:

a = 1
b = 75
c = 625

substitute these in for the quadratic formula which is as follows:

x = (-b ± √( ̅b^2 - 4ac )) / 2a
x = (-75 ± √(75^2 - 4(1)(625)) / 2(1)

and there is your x equals

if you want it even more simplified (after solving the equation):

x = -9.54915028125263 or -65.45084971874738

You forgot about the y (to use the quadratic equation you need the other side to = 0), so you've only found the answer for y = 0

(I'm pretty sure Gosha's answer is correct though)

Edit: Oh wait, I didnt notice it was * not + as well (wasnt just you XD)

Re: pls HELp with maths

so im gonna rewrite the equation as
y=(25x)^2+(25x)
because it is easier on my eyes
then i simplify and idk if im right
y-25x=(25x)^2
sqrt(y-25x)=25x
(sqrt(y-25x))/25=x
(sqrt(y-x))=x

so x=(sqrt(y-x)) is maybe the right answer. you probably was x on one side and maybe ill try it later but right now idek if this is right but yeah ok

on another note

y = x * 25 + (x * 25) ^ 2
y = x * 25 + x^2 + 50x + 625

You must be American

why do u say that

EDIT: if i use my quadratic program i get
y=(x+1)x
so
y=x^2+x
y-x=x^2
sqrt(y-x))=x
holy **** i actually did it right.... wow. yeet

EDIT2:

y = x * 25 + (x * 25) ^ 2
y = x * 25 + x^2 + 50x + 625

(25x)^2 != x^2 +50x +625. you thought of it as x + 25, but it isnt. therefore your entire post is for y=25x + (x +25)^2. those insane answers probably wouldnt with an equation as simple as this soo yeah

Youd be surprised how unlikely getting nice numbers is in the real world when you have an x^2 (exams etc use numbers specifically chosen becuase they use nice results)

yeah im aware but when a quadratic has a = 25, b = 25, and c = 0 the results arent gonna be...whatever that was

EDIT: also firebreaker, you used the quadratic equation wrong. it shouldve been y=, not x= . y = those two numbers. then you can factor it back in and simplify easier or whatever

EDIT: after consulting wolfram alpha, the equation is only true with the 3 following integer pairs: (0,0) (1,2) and (2,6)
here is the image it spat out

EDIT: there's more solutions than those three

It was c = -y not c = 0, so you cant just get two numbers (and for the majority of cases it wont give a nice answer)

(and they needed to move the y to the right hand side, not put the quadratic equation equal to y, its specifically to find the variable used in the expression, not the expression's value)

****

i thought 25x^2 was 25(x^2)
the x-intercepts are actually -1/25 and 0
so
y=(25x+1)x
y/(25x+1)=x
is that right

Re: pls HELp with maths

why are you all people resolving that equation smh gosha did it already
i guess ill hop on the bandwagon

y = x * 25 + (x * 25) ^ 2
y = 25(x + 25x^2)
x + 25x^2 = y/25
25x^2 + x - y/25 = 0
D = 1 - 4 * 25 * (-y/25) = 1 + 4y;
1 + 4y = 0 --> if y=-1/4 then there is one real value for X;
1 + 4y > 0 --> if y > -1/4 then there are two real values for X;
if y < -1/4 then the X1 and X2 are complex values;
X1 = (-1 - sqrt(D))/ 50
X2 = (-1 + sqrt(D))/ 50
where D = 1 + 4y

final result:
X1 = (-1 - sqrt(1+4y))/50
X2 = (-1 + sqrt(1+4y))/50

(checked the result with desmos, it does match)

Also note that if y < -1 you'll get negative value and you can't √ the negative value

incorrect. the critical point is y = -1/4 because you're taking sqrt(1+4y)

Edit: my bad, forgot a pair of brackets in the final result

You all missed one point! "=" is the set operator, not an "equal" operatorion:

y=x*25+(x*25)²

x*25+(x*25)² = x*25 + x * 25 * x *25 = 25x(1+25x)

Re: pls HELp with maths

y = x * 25 + x^2 + 50x + 625

um (x*25)(x*25)=x^2+625 its not (x+25)(x+25) so u dont times them all by each other

is this right? y=25x+625x^2
625x^2+25x=0
(-25+(625-2500))/1250=-1.52
(-25-(625-2500))/1250=0.74

Re: pls HELp with maths

y=25x+625x^2
625x^2+25x=0

AAAHHHHH!!!!! WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT THE y?????
625x^2 + 25x - y=0

other than that I think its correct though

(also I'm pretty sure Gosha's answer is correct, so use that to check)
