2. Using the discriminant, determine the number of real roots of the equation x² - 4x + 4 = 0. Do not solve the equation.

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: 1 Real Root

Step by Step Explanation:
The discriminant uses the formula b^2-4ac. (^ means an exponent, b squared up above)
a=1, b =4, c=4 sub in those values into the formula.
(4)^2-4(1)(4) = 0
Since the answer is 0, the equation will have 1 real root.

Answer: d. (17, 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

$x-3y=8$ (1)

$5x-4y=5$ (2)

Isolating $x$ from (1):

$x=\frac{8+3y}{4}$ (3)

Substituting (3) in (2):

$5(\frac{8+3y}{4})-4y=5$ (4)

Isolating $y$ :

$\frac{40}{4}+\frac{15 y}{4}-4y=5$ (5)

$10-5=4y-\frac{15 y}{4}$ (6)

$y=20$ (7)

Substituting (7) in (1):

$x-3(20)=8$ (8)

Isolating $x$ :

$x=17$ (9)

Hence, the correct option is d. (17, 20)
