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).

|1|, |-4|, |-3|, |2|
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

|1| = 1

|-4| = 4

|-3| = 3

|2| = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function is defined by

|x|=\begin{cases}x,&x\ge0\\-x,&x

Since 1>0, we have |1| = 1.

Since -4<0, we have |-4| = -(-4) = 4.

Since -3<0, we have |-3| = -(-3) = 3.

Since 2>0, we have |2| = 2.
