D. 2(n-8)
The difference of a number and eight is separate from being multiplied by 2 which is why you would use parenthesis.
Answer:
An exponent value in a would make the system inconsistent because it will either gain or lose height over time.
Any real number without an exponent value will make the system consitent.
Any infintite/repeating number will make the system both consistent and inconsistent. it is consisent because it will stay at a constant rate but also inconsistent because it is repeating and will never end.
The formula for the discriminant is b^2-4ac. The formula you wote is in the form of
ax^2+c=0, so first, you need to bring that -2 to the left. When you do that, you get (the original equation would be ax^2+bx+c but you have no bx.)
3x^2-8
So, since there's no b, it would be
b^2-4ac
0^2-4(3)(-8
-12 x -8
96
