Answer: $\frac{4}{3}$ or about 1.333

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the "keep, change, flip" method to solve. Keep the first number the same, change the division to multiplication, and flip the second number so we have the reciprocal.

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{5}{8} }{\frac{15}{32} } \,\,\,\,\text{ becomes } \,\,\,\,\frac{5}{8} *\frac{32}{15} =\frac{5*32}{8*15} =\frac{160}{120} =\frac{4}{3}$

15/32

=5/8

32/15

=5/32

8/15

=160/120

Answer:

$\text{D. }b^2-4ac>0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation $b^2-4ac$ represents the discriminant of a quadratic. It is the part taken from under the radical in the quadratic formula.

For any quadratic:

If the discriminant is positive, or greater than 0, the quadratic has two solutions

If the discriminant is equal to 0, the quadratic has one distinct real solution (the solution is repeated).

If the discriminant is negative, or less than 0, the quadratic has zero solutions

In the graph, we see that the equation intersects the x-axis at two distinct points. Therefore, the quadratic has two solutions and the discriminant must be positive. Thus, we have $b^2-4ac>0$ .
