Answer:
2 real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
If the discriminant is any positive number, that means the quadratic will have 2 real roots, or solutions.
Since the discriminant, 36, is a positive number, this will apply.
So, if the discriminant is 36, there will be 2 real roots.
Answer:
First differences means take the ordered pairs in increasing order for their x coordinates (assuming the x's go by ones), then subtract each y (except the last) from the y that comes after it. Keep doing that and you get the first differences. (The second differences would be what you get if you then subtract each of the first differences from the one that came after it (TMI probably but ...)
Say the points were (1,3), (2,7), (3,11) and (4,15). The first differences are
7-3 = 4
11-7 = 4
15 - 11 = 4 all 4. This would also be the slope. So that is the relationship - they are the same.
To simplify the expression we are going to use the distributive property of multiplication:
.
We can infer from our problem that
,
, and
. So lets apply the property to simplify our expression:
We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>
-8x3 + 6x2</span>
