Given the equation 2x2 - 5x + 7 = 0. Find the discriminant. Describe the roots and explain your reasoning.

1 answer:

8 0

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is a parameter that is used to determine the nature of the roots of the equation. The discriminant can be determined by b2- 4ac. In this case, upon substitution, 25- 4*2*7 = -31 in which the roots are negative and iimaginary.

The voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The voltage in exponential form would be $(\frac{3}{5})^3$ .

The original voltage in the circuit is $\frac{3}{5}$ of a volt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the original voltage.

We have been given that the voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has been reduced 3 times.

The original voltage multiplied by itself for 3 times would be $x\cdot x\cdot x=x^3$ .
