What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 2x² - x - 3=0?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tamiku [17]2 years ago
6 0

The given quadratic equation is

2 {x}^{2}  - x - 3 = 0

comparing with

{ax}^{2}  + bx + c = 0

We get ,

a = 2 \\ b =  - 1 \\ c =  - 3

formula :

D =  {b}^{2}  - 4ac \\  \\ D =  {( - 1)}^{2}  - 4 \times 2 \times ( - 3) \\  \\ D = 1 - ( - 24) \\  \\D  = 1 + 24 \\  \\D  = 25.

Discriminant of given quadratic equation is 25 .

option (B) 25 ✔

Divide: (-7x+x^2+15)÷(-3+x)
kakasveta [241]
Since the divisor is in the form (x + #) or (x - #), This can be done by synthetic division.
First put the polynomial ion descending order: x^2 - 7x + 15
Take the coefficients of the terms and follow these steps:

3 |  1 -7  15
         3  -12
___________  Bring down the 1, multiply the 3 by the 1 and place under the
     1  -4    3       -7, then add.
                         Multiply 3 by -4, place under the 15, then add.
       The bottom row is our answer. Since the problem started with a second power, the answer will start with a first power.
The bottom row are the coefficients of the terms and the last number is the remainder.

What is the true solution to the equation below? In e^in x + in e^in x^2 = 2 in 8
mariarad [96]
To solve the given equation, w need to review some rules:
(1) \ ln \ e = 1 \\ 
(2) \ ln \  b^{a} = a*ln \ b \\
(3) \ ln \ a + ln \ b = ln \ (ab) \\
(4) \ ln \ a - ln \ b = ln \  \frac{a}{b}  \\

The given equation is :
ln \  e^{ln \ x} + ln \  e^{ln \  x^{2}} = 2 \ ln \ 8
ln \ x * ln \ e + ln \  x^{2} * ln \ e = 2 \ ln \ 8  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (2)
ln \ x + ln \  x^{2} = ln \  8^{2}  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (1) and rule (2)

ln \ ( x*  x^{2} ) = ln \ 64          ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (3)
removing the nature logarithm from both sides

x^{3} = 64 =  4^{3}
∴ x = 4


So, the correct answer is option (2) ⇒⇒⇒⇒ x = 4

The following are the ages of 13 history teachers in a school district. 24, 27, 29, 29, 35, 39, 43, 45, 46, 49, 51, 51, 56 Notic

The five-number summary and the interquartile range for the data set are given as follows:

  • Minimum: 24.
  • Lower quartile: 29.
  • Median: 43.
  • Upper quartile: 50.
  • Maximum: 56.
  • Interquartile range: 50 - 29 = 21.

<h3>What are the median and the quartiles of a data-set?</h3>

  • The median of the data-set separates the bottom half from the upper half, that is, it is the 50th percentile.
  • The first quartile is the median of the first half of the data-set.
  • The third quartile is the median of the second half of the data-set.
  • The interquartile range is the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile.

In this problem, we have that:

  • The minimum value is the smallest value, of 24.
  • The maximum value is the smallest value, of 56.
  • Since the data-set has odd cardinality, the median is the middle element, that is, the 7th element, as (13 + 1)/2 = 7, hence the median is of 43.
  • The first quartile is the median of the six elements of the first half, that is, the mean of the third and fourth elements, mean of 29 and 29, hence 29.
  • The third quartile is the median of the six elements of the second half, that is, the mean of the third and fourth elements of the second half, mean of 49 and 51, hence 50.
  • The interquartile range is of 50 - 29 = 21.

Furkat [3]

Answer:  \frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{2y}

where y is positive.

The 2y in the denominator is not inside the fourth root

==================================================

Work Shown:

\sqrt[4]{\frac{5x}{8y}}\\\\\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{5x*2y^3}{8y*2y^3}}\ \ \text{.... multiply top and bottom by } 2y^3\\\\\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{10xy^3}{16y^4}}\\\\\\\frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{\sqrt[4]{16y^4}} \ \ \text{ ... break up the fourth root}\\\\\\\frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{\sqrt[4]{(2y)^4}} \ \ \text{ ... rewrite } 16y^4 \text{ as } (2y)^4\\\\\\\frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{2y} \ \ \text{... where y is positive}\\\\\\

The idea is to get something of the form a^4 in the denominator. In this case, a = 2y

To be able to reach the 16y^4, your teacher gave the hint to multiply top and bottom by 2y^3

For more examples, search out "rationalizing the denominator".

Keep in mind that \sqrt[4]{(2y)^4} = 2y only works if y isn't negative.

If y could be negative, then we'd have to say \sqrt[4]{(2y)^4} = |2y|. The absolute value bars ensure the result is never negative.

Furthermore, to avoid dividing by zero, we can't have y = 0. So all of this works as long as y > 0.
