For this case we have the following function:

f (x) = - 4x ^ 2 + 12x-9

y = 0 we have:

-4x ^ 2 + 12x-9 = 0

Where:

a = -4\\b = 12\\c = -9

By definition, the discriminant of a quadratic equation is given by:

d = b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)

d> 0: Two different real roots

d = 0: Two equal real roots

d: Two different complex roots

Substituting the values we have:

d = (12) ^ 2-4 (-4) (- 9)\\d = 144-144

d = 0

We have two equal real roots.

To find the intersections with the x axis, we do y = 0:

-4x ^ 2 + 12x-9 = 0

We apply the quadratic formula:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

Substituting the values we have:

x = \frac {-12 \pm \sqrt {12 ^ 2-4 (-4) (- 9)}} {2 (-4)}\\x = \frac {-12 \pm \sqrt {144-144}} {- 8}\\x = \frac {-12 \pm0} {- 8}\\x = \frac {-12} {- 8}\\x = \frac {3} {2}

The intersection with the x axis is(\frac {3} {2}, 0)

Answer:

d = 0

The intersection with the x axis is (\frac {3} {2}, 0)

Answer:

Part A) The value of the discriminant of f is zero

Part B) The quadratic equation has only one x-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) What is the value of the discriminant of f?

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

the discriminant is equal to

D=b^2-4ac

in this problem we have

f(x)=-4x^2+12x-9

so

a=-4\\b=12\\c=-9

substitute

D=12^2-4(-4)(-9)

D=0

Part B) How many x-intercepts does the graph of f have?

we know that

In a quadratic equation

If the discriminant D is equal to zero, then the equation has only one real solution

That means

The quadratic equation has only one x-intercept

Alja [10]

Answer:

1/2 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so she ran 1/3 of the distance and you know that the distance is 3/4 of a mile, so you multiply those two together and get 3/12 = 1/4. The total distance is 3/4 so 3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2
