Use the discriminant to determine how many X intercepts the graph of the equation has

<span> The quadratic formula says that any quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c, then
x=(-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a, and so because of the square root, theres obviously going to be no x-intercepts if b^2 - 4ac is negative, one x-intercept if its zero, or two if its positive. So to calculate the discriminant, which is whether it has an intercept, no intercepts or two intercepts is:
∆=b^2 - 4ac, where delta, the greek equivalent of D, is used to represent the discriminant.
In the above equation a=-4, b=3 and c=-2, so
∆=3^2 - 4*-4*-2=9 - 32=-23, so because the discriminant is negative, then there are no x-intercepts.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

1. -4(6)= -24

2.-21-8= -29

3. 121-4 =117

4. -6(5) =-30

5. -10(-9)= 90

6. (-5)7= -35

7. (-5)8= -40

8. -30(5)= -150

9. 20(-6)= -120

10. -14(6)= -84

11. (-13)2 = -26

12. –7(15) = -105

13. -3(4) = -12

14. 7(-3) = -21

15. 3(-3) = -9

16. -2(-10) = 20

17. (-5)(-3)(4) = 60

18. -3(-3)(4)= 36

19. -3(-5) = 15

20. 5(-3) = -15

21. 7(-5)(4) = -140

22. -2(-5)(-3)= -30

23. – 10(-3)=30

24. -21-3= -24

Explanation:

We have followed the rules in adding and subtracting negative as well as positive values on the number line.

When adding two negative values, the result is a negative value.

When adding a negative and positive value, the result is either a positive or negative value depending on if the negative value is bigger or smaller than the positive value

When multiplying two negative values, the result is a positive value

When multiplying one negative and one positive value, the result is a negative value

To make you understand addition and subtraction of negative and positive numbers better, let us use a simple analogy. Assuming you are owing five oranges(-5) and you are only able to give two oranges(+2), you will still be owing 3 oranges(-3). Assuming also that you are owing 6 oranges(-6) and you are able to give 8 oranges(+8), you would have given excess oranges and would be owed two oranges(+2). Hence the results above.
