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 :)
Answer:
Lisa will not be able to feed both tanks the same amount of food.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is incomplete, here is the complete question :
"Lisa pet shop has 2 fish tank . Tank A contains smaller fish who were fed 1 gram of food each per day. Tank B contains larger fish who are fed 2 gram each per day. If tank B contains 2/3 the number of fish Tank A contains,will Lisa ever feed both tanks the same amount of food."
Let the number of fish in tank A = f
Lisa fed 1 gram of food each per day = f × 1 = f
So,the number of fish in tank B = 
Lisa fed 2 gram of food each per day = 
If both the tanks are fed with same amount of food then


⇒ 3f = 4f
⇒ 3 = 4
But 3 ≠ 4
Therefore, Lisa will not be able to feed both tanks the same amount of food.
Answer: 25
Step-by-step explanation: first find x; 60= 10x - 10, then subtract 10 from both sides to get 50, then divide by 5 to get 10, then plug it in to the equation of the side to get 25
