Gwar [14]2 years ago

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}

Jim borrowed $12,500 at 6% per annum compound interest . At the end of the first year ,he repaid $5,500.
Alika [10]

The amount of repayment AT THE END of the first year does not reduce the interest on the loan for the first year.


The interest of 6% per annum compounded monthly

= 12500*[(1+(0.06/12))^12-1]

= 770.97 (to the nearest cent)

Guide<br> What are the zeros of the function f, where f(x) = 6x2 - 9x – 6?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the zeros of 6x² - 9x - 6.

x = [9±√(9²-4(6)(-6))]/[2(6)] = [9±√225]/12 = [9±15]/12 = 2, -½

How do I round 6.44 to the nearest minute
natali 33 [55]
Anything lower than 5 in rounding turns into a zero. The number your rounding stays the same. Therefore the answer is 6 minutes if rounded to the nearest minute.

Explain the strategy you would use to solve the following equation without a model. You can write out the fraction names or use
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 - 1 3/4 Because the denominator are already the same, all you have to do is make it a mixed number and subtract. To do that you multiply the whole number to the denominator and add that new number to the numerator. So you would then have.

9/4 - 7/4

Keep the denumerator the same and subtract the numerators.

2/4

Then simplify

1/2
