"The discriminant is prime?" I haven't heard that one before.
Here are the general rules:
1. a positive discriminant results in two real, unequal roots.
2. a zero discr. results in two real, equal roots.
3. a negative discr. results in two complex roots, which sometimes means two imaginary roots.
The answer is (3) 4896.
This number comes from multiplying 18 x 17 x 16
This is because any of the 18 students could be picked as a leader. Then, any of the remaining 17 students could be picked as a recorder. Then, any of the remaining 16 students could be picked as a timekeeper. Therefore, you multiply 18 by 17 by 16 to get 4896 combinations.
Answer:
7/6 or 1*1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK?
So what you do is take the first integer as X.
Then we know that x(the first number) + X+2(the second number) is 288 right?
So we solve that saying x+x+2=288.
So 2X+2=288
2X+2-2=288-2 right?
So 2X=286.
So x is 286/2 right?
So x is 143.
Now the first number is 143 right?
So the second number should be 143+2 so 145.
I know they are not even but these are the solutions.
I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288
