The discriminant can be found using the formula b^2-4ac
First put your equation in standard form, where all your values are on one side, and just add f(x) or y in front of your equation.
y= 8p^2-8p+2
The first value of your equation is a (a=8)
The second term of your equation is b (b=-8)
The last term of your equation is c (c=2)
Plug in the values to the discriminant equation b^2-4ac
Ages of Dan and Cary are 29 and 33 respectively.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Form equations out of the given details. Let the age of Dan be x, then age of Cary is x + 4.
In 7 years, sum of their ages = 76
⇒ (x + 7) + (x + 4 + 7) = 76
⇒ 2x + 18 = 76
⇒ 2x = 58
⇒ x = 29
Step 2:
Calculate age of Cary.
⇒ x + 4 = 33
3. 12 a
4. 7b-10
all you have to do is add up all of the sides.
Answer:
If i am correct it should be 34
