The <em>quadratic</em> equation 3 · x² + 7 · x - 2 = 0 has a <em>positive</em> discriminant. Thus, the expression has two <em>distinct real</em> roots (<em>real</em> and <em>irrational</em> roots).

<h3>How to determine the characteristics of the roots of a quadratic equation by discriminant</h3>

Herein we have a <em>quadratic</em> equation of the form a · x² + b · x + c = 0, whose discriminant is:

d = b² - 4 · a · c     (1)

There are three possibilities:

  1. d < 0 - <em>conjugated complex</em> roots.
  2. d = 0 - <em>equal real</em> roots (real and rational root).
  3. d > 0 - <em>different real</em> roots (real and irrational root).

If we know that a = 3, b = 7 and c = - 2, then the discriminant is:

d = 7² - 4 · (3) · (- 2)

d = 49 + 24

d = 73

The <em>quadratic</em> equation 3 · x² + 7 · x - 2 = 0 has a <em>positive</em> discriminant. Thus, the expression has two <em>distinct real</em> roots (<em>real</em> and <em>irrational</em> roots).

If marching bands vary from 21 to 49 player, which numbers of players can be arranged in the greatest number of rectangles?
ANEK [815]
Hmm. a rectangle?ok then, least number of rectangles needed-6.
. . .
. . . ( rectangle)
so, 6 x 8=48(greatest multiple of 6 from between 21 and 49)
48 players are most, so 8 rectangles

Finn is swimming at a constant speed.
Reil [10]

Answer:

31.25 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Examine division

11.6 + 24.4 = 36 m < 50m

and 36 + 37.2 - 73.2m > 50m

50 - 36 = 14m

14 * 23.25/37.2 = 8.75 seconds

7.25 + 15.25 + 8.75 = 31.25 seconds

so it would take him 31.25 seconds to swim 50 meters.
