Answer:

A real solution (in agreement with statement <em>d</em> in your list of answer options)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the expression b^2-4ac  is what is called the "discriminant" of a quadratic equation of the form: a\,x^2+b\,x+c=0

and such is because, the possible solutions for the unknown x" of such equation are given by the <em>quadratic formula</em>:

x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

and if you notice, inside the square-root symbol you find exactly the expression b^2-4ac

This is called the discriminant because it allows us to discriminate, discern how many and the type of solutions the equation can have.

Notice that if this discriminant is zero, the expression inside the square root becomes zero, and square root of zero is zero. That means that the quadratic formula will render not two, but a solution which is real:

The real number that derives from making the quotient of the real numbers:

\frac{-b}{2a}

List 2/3 , 7/12 , and 3/4 from greatest to least thanks .
nikklg [1K]
For this question you should know that:
2/3 = 8/12 
and 
3/4 = 9/12 
so now you can say:
7/12 < 8/12 < 9/12 
so: 
7/12 < 2/3 < 3/4 :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day

Amari claims that a rectangle is sometimes a parallelogram but a parallelogram is always a
Maslowich

Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a figure of four sides, such that opposite sides are parallel

A rectangle is a four-sided figure such that all internal angles are 90°

Here, the statement is:

"A rectangle is sometimes a parallelogram but a parallelogram is always a

rectangle."

Here if we found a parallelogram that is not a rectangle, then that is enough to prove that the statement is false.

The counterexample is a rhombus, which is a parallelogram that has two internal angles smaller than 90° and two internal angles larger than 90°, then this parallelogram is not a rectangle, then the statement is false.

The correct statement would be:

"A parallelogram is sometimes a rectangle, but a rectangle is always a parallelogram"
