Find the discriminant of the following quadratic equation x^-5x+3=0

1 answer:

8 0

The discriminant of the given quadratic equation as in the task content can be evaluated by means of the formula; D = b²-4ac and it's value is; 13.

<h3>What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation as given in the task content?</h3>

According to the task content, it follows that the quadratic equation whose discriminant is to be determined is; x²-5x+3=0.

By comparison with the standard form equation of a quadratic graph which goes thus; ax²+bx +c = 0, in which case, the determinant is given by the expression; b² - 4ac.

We can consequently evaluate the determinant of the quadratic equation in discuss as follows;

Determinant = b² -4ac = (-5)² - (4×1×3) = 25 - 12

Hence, the determinant in this case is; 13.

A can of tuna has a volume 18pi cm3 and a height of 2 cm. Find the area of the label that wraps around the entire can and does n

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The area of the label is $12\pi\ cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the radius

we know that

The volume of the cylinder (can of tuna) is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

In this problem we have

$V=18\pi\ cm^{3}$

$h=2\ cm$

substitute and solve for r

$18\pi=\pi r^{2} (2)$

Simplify

$18=r^{2}(2)$

$r^{2}=9$

$r=3\ cm$

step 2

Find the lateral area of the can

The lateral area of the cylinder (can of tuna) is equal to

$LA=2\pi rh$

we have

$r=3\ cm$

$h=2\ cm$

$LA=2\pi (3)(2)=12\pi\ cm^{2}$

Four people in a room. Each shakes hands with each of the others once. How many handshakes are there?

storchak [24]

The correct answer is 6.

The clearest way to determine this is by creating a table of possible hand shaking. If we label the people A-D, the following are the ways they can be combined:
AB
AC
AD
BC
BD
CD

There are no other combinations.

k = 13The smallest zero or root is x = -10

===============================

Steps:

note: you can write "x^2" to mean "x squared"

f(x) = x^2+3x-10

f(x+5) = (x+5)^2+3(x+5)-10 ... replace every x with x+5

f(x+5) = (x^2+10x+25)+3(x+5)-10

f(x+5) = x^2+10x+25+3x+15-10

f(x+5) = x^2+13x+30

Compare this with x^2+kx+30 and we see that k = 13

Factor and solve the equation below

x^2+13x+30 = 0

(x+10)(x+3) = 0

x+1 = 0 or x+3 = 0

x = -10 or x = -3

The smallest zero is x = -10 as its the left-most value on a number line.
