Does the parabola with equation x2– x + 6 = 0 have real or imaginary roots?

imaginary roots

to check the nature of the roots of a parabola in standard form :

ax² + bx + c = 0 : ( a ≠ 0 ) use the discriminant b² - 4ac

• If  b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then roots are not real

for x² - x + 6 = 0 with a = 1, b = - 1, c =  6

b² - 4ac = ( -1)² - (4 × 1 ×  6 ) = 1 - (  24 ) = 1 - 24 = - 23

since b² - 4ac < 0 then roots are not real ( imaginary )

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: B.  |x-100| = 25

Explanation:

Draw out a number line. Mark 75, 100 and 125 on the number line as points A, B, and C in that order. Don't worry about the spacing.

The value of x represents where the train is. So if we had say x = 85, then it would be at location 85 on the number line. Writing |x-100| is the distance from x to 100. The absolute value ensures the distance is never negative. We want this distance to be 25 because after traveling 25 cm, the switch is turned, and the train goes the other way.

Answer:

  3 1/8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For focus-vertex distance p, the equation of the parabola can be written ...

  y = x^2/(4p)

Here, we have p=8. We want to find the value of y when x=10 (the radius of the dish). That is ...

  y = (10^2)/(4·8) = 100/32 = 3 1/8

The dish is 3 1/8 inches deep.
