Given the trinomial 2x2 − 5x + 3, what is the value of the Discriminant and what can be said about the solutions.

1 answer:

4 0

The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.

Mason asks his friends at school to do his questionnaire. This may not be a good sample to use.

The sample is his friends. They might be the same group of interests. The sample needs to be random. Even if he went around and grabbed random people he may not have known at his school, it still wouldn't be random bc they could all be bias towards a local sports team or have different interests than someone from somewhere else
