These are two questions and two answers:
Question 1:
<span>A
quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe
the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show
your work.
Answer: </span><span>The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Explanation:
1) With radicand the statement means the disciminant of the quadratic function.
2) The discriminant is: b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c
3) Then, for 3x² - 15x + 20, a = 3, b = - 15, and c = 20
and the discriminant (radicand) is: (-15)² - 4(3)(20) = 225 - 240 = - 15.
4) The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Question 2:
Part B: Solve 3x^2 + 5x − 8 = 0 by using an appropriate
method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the
method used.
Answer: </span> two solutions x = 1 and x = - 8/3x
Explanation:
1) I choose factoring (you may use the quadratic formula if you prefer)
2) Factoring
Given: 3x² + 5x − 8 = 0
Make 5x = 8x - 3x: 3x² + 8x - 3x - 8 = 0
Group: (3x² - 3x) + (8x - 8) = 0
Common factors for each group: 3x(x -1) + 8(x - 1) = 0
Coomon factor x - 1: (x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0
The two solutions are for each factor equal to zero:
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = -8/3
Those are the two solutions. x = 1 and x = - 8/3
Answer:
Skewed right as the values decrease to the right.
Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
3(у - 3) - 2(у -4) = 4
Distribute
3y -9 -2y +8 =4
Combine like terms
y -1 =4
Add 1 to each side
y-1+1 = 4+1
y = 5
1 over 3 since its rise over run and the x would be on the bottom and since you dont have a y it would be 1
Answer: 42 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length be x
Therefore, width = 2/3x
Area = Length × Width
Therefore, x × 2/3x = 1176
2/3x² = 1176
Divide both side by 2/3
x² = 1176 ÷ 2/3
x² = 1176 × 3/2
x² = 1764
x = ✓1764
x = 42
The length is 42 feet
