9x^2 - 16x + 60
Find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, which is the same as the value of the radicand.
(-16)^2 - 4 * 9 * 60 = -1904
Since the discriminant is negative, there will be NO real solutions, and 2 complex solutions.

Part B.
4x^2 + 8x - 5 = 0
You can tell if a quadratic is factorable if you find the discriminant and it is a perfect square. The discriminant for this quadratic is 144 so it is factorable.
(2x + 5)(2x - 1) = 0
Set each factor equal to zero.
2x + 5 = 0                                                    2x - 1 = 0
subt 5 from both sides                                add 1 to both sides
2x = -5                                                        2x = 1
divide both sides by 2                                divide both sides by 2
x = -5/2 <span>                                                     </span>  x = 1/2

Determine the area that is bounded by the graphs of the following equations on the interval below. (Round your answer to three d
Elza [17]

Answer:

A≅407.34 au (area units)

Step-by-step explanation:

we must find the area generated by equations a., b., and c. To do this we must graph and the areas and determine their points to evaluate

As seen in the graphs (1, 2) we have the area generated by equations a. b. and the limits within which the area should be evaluated are those determined by c.

Finally we find A (view graph 3)

The distance between the cities Atlanta and Indianapolis is 540 miles. A motorcycle's speed is 48 mph. For a car it takes 2.25 h
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

It will take them 5 hours to meet if they start moving towards eachother simultaneusly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance, s = 540 miles

Motocycle's speed, v = 48 mph

Time for motorcycle to cover 48 miles, t = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

=  \frac{540}{48} = 11.25 h

For a car it takes 2.25 hours less than 11.25 for motorcycle:

Time for car than becomes: 11.25 - 2.25  = 9 h

Speed for car would be v(c) = \frac{Distance}{Time}

= \frac{540}{9} = 60 mph

<em>For finding when they will meet, we will need relative speed: </em>

Since they are moving towards each other the relative speed is the sum of speed of car and the speed of motorcycle

Relative Speed = 48 + 60 = 108 mph

Distance = 540 miles

Time =  \frac{Distance}{Speed}

        =  \frac{540}{108}

       = 5 hours
