Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
11
Discussion:
Let "n" be the smaller number. Then
n * (n+5) = 176.
My first reaction to this problem was to factor 176 in my head. That's 176 = 16 * 11 and 16 is 5 more than 11. So that's the solution!.... Now let's solve it using the brute force approach:
n(n+5) = 176 =>
n^2 + 5n - 176 = 0 => use the quadratic formula
n = ( -5 +\- sqrt( 5^2 - 4(1)(-176)) ) /2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt( 25 + 704) )/ 2
= ( -5 +\- sqrt (729) ) /2 => as sqrt(729) = 27
= (-5 +\- 27) / 2 =>
= (-5 + 27)/2 or ( -5 -27)/2 =>
= 22/2 or -32/2 =>
= 11 or -16
But -16 is not allowed as the question wants a positive value.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
Hey bestfriends..lol
Ima say the answer is....?!?!?!? B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:A polynomial with integer coefficients that cannot be factored into polynomials of lower degree , also with integer coefficients, is called an irreducible or prime polynomial . Example 1: x2+x+1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Our discriminant is 0 so, 
has one real root.
Option C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to find the discriminant and the number of real roots for the following equation:
The discriminant is found by using square root part of quadratic formula:
where b =12, a=4 and c=9
Putting values:
To find out the number of real roots using discriminant we have following rules:
- if discriminant b^2-4ac >0 then 2 real roots
- if discriminant b^2-4ac =0 then 1 real root
- if discriminant b^2-4ac <0 then no real roots
Since our discriminant b^2-4ac is 0 so, has one real root.
Option C is correct.
