The value of b so that 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has the same x-intercepts (only one x-intercept) is 12 √2.

<h3>How to determine a missing coefficient in a second order polynomial</h3>

Second order polynomials are represented graphically by parabolae and it may have two, one or no x-intercepts. The quantity of x-intercepts can be deducted from the discriminant of the quadratic formula, which is defined below:

For a · x² + b · x + c = 0, the discriminant is defined by:

d = b² - 4 · a · c (1)

There are three rules to determine the number of possible intercepts:

If d < 0, then there are no x-intercepts.
If d = 0, then there is only one x-intercept.
If d > 0, then there are two x-intercepts.

Then, we have to find a value of b so that (1) has the following form:

b² - 4 · 3 · (-24) = 0

b² - 288 = 0

b = 12√ 2

The value of b so that 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has the same x-intercepts (only one x-intercept) is 12 √2. $\blacksquare$

<h3>Remark</h3>

The answer choices do not correspond with the given statement, the phrase "same x-intercepts" may lead to confusion and possible graph cannot be found. A possible corrected statement is shown below:

The graph of g(x) = 3 · x² + b · x - 24 has only one x-intercept. What is the value of b?

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

For each n get its posting then AND them

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets presume we have multiple n terms

2. We get the posting from each n term

3. We use the function AND and apply it to each n term

4. We start with the tiniest set and we continue from there

5. We have a pair of n terms

6. We get the posting from 1st n

7. We get the posting from 2nd n

8. We apply n1 AND n2

Ryan wanted to know the height of a cell-phone tower neighboring his property he walked 80 feet from the base of the tower and m

spin [16.1K]

Since Ryan is 5 feet tall, we will assume that the height of the cell-phone tower is x + 5.
Since the given is 54 degrees.
Tan 54degrees = x/80(feet)
x=80(tan54)
x=110
To finalize the answer, we will add up the height of the cell-phone tower to the answer.
110 + 5 = 115 feet
So the answer to the question is that the height of the cell-phone tower is 115 ft.

What is the answer to (6+4)tothe3power-1tothe8power

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Hey there!

$\huge\boxed{(6 + 4)^3 - 1^8}$

$\huge\boxed{= 10^3 - 1^8}$

$\huge\boxed{10^3}$

$\huge\boxed{= 10\times10\times10}$

$\huge\boxed{= 100\times10 }$

$\huge\boxed{= 1,000}$

$\huge\boxed{1^{8}}$

$\huge\boxed{= 1\times1\times1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1}$

$\huge\boxed{= 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1}$

$\huge\boxed{= 1\times1}$

$\huge\boxed{= 1}$

$\huge\boxed{1,000 - 1}$

$\huge\boxed{= 999}$

$\huge\text{Answer: \textsf{999}}$

$\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}$

Which graph represents a function?

valina [46]

The graph on the top right would represent a function. A function line on a graph includes one line going in one direction. It's not 2 lines, its not just dots either and it definitely isn't in a square because, as I said, it goes in ONE direction. Hope this helped!
