X = -17/2 is the answer if I’m correct
Hello!
In math, there is always something called the discriminant. This is represented by the equation
, when a quadratic =
. The discriminant tells you what roots an equation has. A discriminant of over 0 represents 2 real roots, a discriminant of 0 = 1 real root, and a discriminant of <0 is 0 real roots (2 complex roots)
Now, substitute in the values and solve. In this equation, a = 5, b = 2, c = 1.




Therefore, the discriminant is -16. This means that the equation has no real roots, and has 2 complex roots. Therefore, your answer is D.
Hope this helps!
The answer is D I’m pretty sure!? Hopefully you got it right!!!!!!!
The sequence: a 1 = - 4, a 2 = 8, a 3 = -16,...
a 2 = a 1 * r
8 = - 4 * r
r = 8 : ( - 4 )
r = - 2
a n = a 1 * r^(n-1)
a 5 = - 4 * ( - 2 ) ^4 = - 4 * 16 = - 64
Answer:
The fifth term in the sequence is - 64.
50-28=22
the numbers would be 28+22
sum = answer of addition
