What is the discriminant of 3x^2-8x+5=5x^2

1 answer:

6 0

Move all terms to the left side of the equation and simplify.

−2x2−8x+5=0-2x2-8x+5=0

The discriminant of a quadratic is the expression inside the radical of the quadratic formula.

b2−4(ac)b2-4ac

Substitute in the values of aa, bb, and cc.

(−8)2−4(−2⋅5)-82-4-2⋅5

Evaluate the result to find the discriminant.\

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The dimensions of the herb garden in the scale drawing are 2.4 in. by 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dimensions of the garden in the actual are 10 ft by 5 ft

The dimensions of the garden on the scale drawing are 12 in. by 6 in

step 1

Find the scale factor

To find the scale factor divide the corresponding side on the scale drawing by the corresponding side in the actual

$\frac{12}{10}\ \frac{in}{ft}$

simplify

$1.2\ \frac{in}{ft}$

That means

1.2 inches in the drawing represent 1 foot in the actual

step 2

Find out the dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing

we know that

The dimensions of the herb garden in the actual are 2 ft by 5 ft

Multiply by the scale factor

$2\ ft=2(1.2)=2.4\ in$

$5\ ft=5(1.2)=6\ in$

therefore

The dimensions of the herb garden in the scale drawing are 2.4 in. by 6 in

Can someone please write this as a single logarithm and show work please and thank you

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

$log_b(w^3y^4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the expression as a single logarithm, or condense it, use the properties of logarithms.

1) The power property of logarithms states that $log_ax^r = rlog_ax$ . In other words, the exponent within a logarithm can be brought out in front so it's multiplied by the logarithm. This means that the number in front of the logarithm can also be brought inside the logarithm as an exponent.

So, in this case, we can move the 3 and the 4 inside the logarithms as exponents. Apply this property as seen below:

$3log_bw+4log_by\\=log_bw^3+log_by^4$

2) The product property of logarithms states that $log_axy = log_ax+log_ay$ . In other words, the logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors. So, in this case, write the expression as a single logarithm by taking the log (keep the same base) of the product of $w^3$ and $y^4$ . Apply the property as seen below and find the final answer.
