6. Using the discriminant, determine the value of k that will give 1 solution (i.e. discriminant equals zero) y = kx²-4x + 4 ​

Mathematics

Answer:

k = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Discriminant</u>

b^2-4ac\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0

\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac > 0 \implies \textsf{two real roots}

\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac=0 \implies \textsf{one real root}

\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac < 0 \implies \textsf{no real roots}

As we need to determine the value of k that will give <u>one solution</u>, set the <u>discriminant to zero</u>.

<u>Given equation</u>:

y=kx^2-4x+4

Therefore:

  • a = k
  • b = -4
  • c = 4

Substitute these values into the discriminant and solve for k:

\begin{aligned}b^2-4ac & = 0\\\implies (-4)^2-4(k)(4) & = 0\\16-16k & = 0\\16k & = 16\\\implies k & = 1\end{aligned}

Company A
Income = 35,000 + 0.03x

Company B
Income = 25,000 + 0.05x

set them equal to see how much of sales Julia needs to make the same income at both companies.

30,000 + 0.03x = 25,000 + 0.05x
30,000 - 25,000 = 0.05x - 0.03x
5,000 = 0.02x
5,000/0.02 = x
 250,000 = x

Company A has better base salary and so would pay better if less than 250,000 sales are made. Company B has bigger percent bonus and would be a better deal if more than 250,000 sales are made.

So it's the 2nd choice.

Need help on the stretch problem.
Licemer1 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔACX is an isosceles triangle, so ∠AXC = ∠XAC.  We'll call the measure of this angle x°.

∠AXC and ∠BXC are supplementary, so ∠AXC + ∠BXC = 180.  That means ∠BXC = 180 − x.

ΔBXC is an isosceles triangle, so ∠XBC = ∠XCB.  We'll call the measure of this angle y°.

Angles of a triangle add up to 180, so:

y + y + (180 − x) = 180

2y = x

y = x/2

∠ACX and ∠XCB are complementary, so ∠ACX + ∠XCB = 90.

x + y = 90

x + x/2 = 90

3/2 x = 90

x = 60

Therefore, ∠AXC = ∠XAC = 60°.
