When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here 
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and 
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0 
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= ± sqrt(144)= ± 12

So in order that the given equation has double roots,  the possible values of b are ± 12.

Which exponential function is represented by the graph?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this using our formula for exponential functions:

y=a(b)^x where a is the initial value and b is the growth/decay rate. We will fill that equation in with 2 of the coordinates on the graph and come up with the values for both a and b. (0, 3) and (1, 6):

3=a(b)^0. Anything raised to the power of 0 is 1, so that means that

a = 3. We will use that value along with the x and y from the second coordinate to solve for b:

6=3(b)^1. b to the first is just b, so our equation is

6 = 3b and

b = 2.

Our equation then is

y=3(2)^x, the third choice down.

Answer:

50 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two coins are fair, each has a 1/2 chance of landing on heads. If both of them land on heads, that possibility would be 1/4 (1/2 * 1/2)

Because you are running the experiment 200 times, multiply 200 by 1/4:

200/4 = 50 times.

Hope this helps!

Reasoning point F lies on EG and point M lies on EN. If F,E, and M are collinear, what must be true of these rays.
almond37 [142]
This means that all of the points are co-linear. This is because if EG is a segment that contains F, and EN is a segment that contains M, then there can be two different segments. However, for a point F on the first segment and a point M on a second segment be in the same line as an end point of one of the segments, the segments have to be co-linear. They overlap.
