This is an interesting question. I chose to tackle it using the Law of Cosines.
  AC² = AB² + BC² - 2·AB·BC·cos(B)
  AM² = AB² + MB² - 2·AB·MB·cos(B)
Subtracting twice the second equation from the first, we have
  AC² - 2·AM² = -AB² + BC² - 2·MB²

We know that MB = BC/2. When we substitute the given information, we have
  8² - 2·3² = -4² + BC² - BC²/2
  124 = BC² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, multiply by 2
  2√31 = BC ≈ 11.1355

What is f(x) - g(x)?
Gala2k [10]
f(x)=9x^3+2x^2-5x+4\\\\g(x)=5x^3-7x+4\\\\f(x)-g(x)=(9x^3+2x^2-5x+4)-(5x^3-7x+4)\\\\=9x^3+2x^2-5x+4-5x^3+7x-4=9x^3-5x^3+2x^2-5x+7x+4-4\\\\=\boxed{4x^3+2x^2+2x}

Which statement about the following equation is true?
spayn [35]

The given expression is

3x^2 -8x +5 = 5x^2

We have to find the discriminant first . And for that, first we need to move whole terms of the left side to right side, that is

5x^2 -3x^2 +8x -5=0

2x^2+ 8x -5 =0

The formula of discriminant is

D =b^2 -4ac

Substituting the values of a,b and c, we will get

D = 8^2 -4(2)(-5)=64+40 = 104

And since the discriminant is greater than 0, or it is positive so we have two real roots.

Therefore the correct option is B .
