Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac, where a, b and c come from the form of the quadratic equation as ax^2 + bx + c
Discriminant = (4)^2 - 4(1)(5)
= 16 - 20
= -4
-4 < 0, therefor there are no roots
(If the discriminant = 0, then there is one root
If the discriminant > 0, there are two roots, and if it is a perfect square (eg. 4, 9, 16, etc.) then there are two rational roots
If the discriminant < 0, there are no roots)
Answer: 240 men
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that there were 600 performers in a dance recital and that the ratio of men to women is 4:6.
Fraction of men at the recital = 4/10
Fraction of women at the recital = 6/10
The number of men performers that were in the dance recital will be:
= 4/10 × 600
= 240 men
There were 240 men at the recital.
(2x/-5x)+x^2
(x(2)/(x(-5))+x^2
(-2/5)+x^2, the x values cancel in numerator and denominator and simplify to -2/5
