The discriminant of a quadratic equation is:

Plug in the values.


Since the discriminant is negative, you can tell that the quadratic has no real solutions.
Hope that helped!

I don't think you wrote the whole question
1+3+4 = 8
480 / 8 = 60
It would be any of these 3 answers depending on which number in the ratio sand is :
60 * 1 = 60
60 * 3 = 180
60 * 4 = 240
Answer:
(4,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Easiest way to do this without any advanced methods is to use the answer choices to your advantage.
For a.) we have (1,1) meaning x = 1 and y = 1 if we get a 7 for the first equation and a -2 for the second equation then that is the correct answer.
Let x=1, y =1:
4(1)+3(1)=4+3=7 Correct so far.
1+2(1)=1+2=3 Incorrect since we should have got a -2 if this was the solution
Let (0,-1) x = 0, y = -1:
4(0) + 3(-1) = 0 -3 = - 3 Incorrect so we can stop there next answer choice.
Let (4,-3) x = 4 y = -3:
4(4)+3(-3)=16-9=7 Correct so far.
4+2(-3)=4-6=-2 Both are correct!
Therefore the solution (where the lines intersect) is (4,-3).
