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.

if one customer shows up, and she buys one song, that's $1.29, if she doesn't buy anymore, then that's the charge.

the first song is always at a full price, and after that, to encourage buying, the next ones are just 99 cents, let's see how it goes after a few songs purchases.

1 song.........................$1.29

2 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(2)

3 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(3)

4 songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(4)

c songs.......................$1.29 + 0.99(c)

s(c) = 1.29 + 0.99c.

vivado [14]

Answer:

distance from Irvington to Newark

.= 3 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

distance from Irvington to Newark.= X

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= y

Y= 1+4x

total distance from Gillette to Newark

= z

Z= 6x-2

But total distance = x+y

Total distance= x+1+4x

Total distance= 1+5x

1 +5x= 6x-2

1+2= 6x-5x

3= x

distance from Irvington to Newark.= X

distance from Irvington to Newark

.= 3 Miles

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= 1+4x

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= 1+4(3)

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= 1+12

distance from Gillette, New Jersey, to Irvington, New Jersey,= 13 miles

Total distance= 1+5x

Total distance= 1+5(3)

Total distance= 16 miles
