If the discriminant is 16 in a quadratic equation what is true about its solutions

Mathematics

olganol [36]3 years ago

If the discriminant is a positive number, there will be 2 possible solutions. If you replace the entire section of b²-4ac with 16, you will see that the equation becomes; (-b+-√16)/2a --> leading to an answer with the + and another with the -. 

If the discriminant is 0, there will be 1 possible solution, (again replace this into the discriminant value) (-b)/2a ---> this formula is used to also find the x coordinates of a vertex, fyi. 

If the discriminant is a negative number, there will be no solution (since squareroot of a negative number is not possible) 

Hope I helped :)

PLZ HELP ASAP INSCRIBED QUADRILATERALS
svp [43]
For an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles add up to 180 degrees. In this case, if we are looking for the measure of angle D, we can use the fact that angles I & D add up to 180 degrees. Since angle I = 117:
117 + D = 180
D = 63 degrees
