Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for D/4 is b'^2-ac (where b' = 4/2=2, a=1, c=5). When we use the special discriminant (D/4) we get D/4 = (2)^2-1*5 = 4-5=-1.

Hope this helps!

4x+4y+4z. I was taught to take out what was in each term, in this problem that would be 4: 4(X+y+z). Meaning A) Annie did the problem right :) I hope this helps!

If y varies directly as x, and y=8 when x=3, find y when x=15.

Crank

Answer:

y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Direct Variation is y=kx or k=y/x. In this case I would use k=y/x. If you're y is 8 and x is 3, this means that K=8/3. Using this, we know that X=15. We have to find a Y value so that the fraction with an x of 15 simplified is 8/3. To do this you would write 8/3 and y/15. Now cross multiply to get 3y=120. Divide by 3 to get y=40.
