The Discriminant:
D = b² - 4 a c
D = (-2)² - 4 · 1 · 5 = 4 - 20 = - 16
D = - 16 
D < 0 ,  which means that there are no real solutions. The solutions of this equation are complex conjugate numbers.

For a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the discriminant is given by b^2 - 4ac
Thus for a^2 - 2a + 5 = 0,
a = 1, b = -2 and c = 5
b^2 - 4ac = (-2)^2 - 4(1)(5) = 4 - 20 = -16

What’s the answer to this?
inna [77]

Since the triangle is equilateral, all its angles are equal to 60°

AO is the bisector⇒∠OAD = 30°

AO is the hypotenuse, ∠OAD = 30°⇒

OD=5*2=10m

By the Pythagorean theorem

10^2=AD^2+5^2\\AD=\sqrt{100-25} \\AD=\sqrt{75}

AC=AD+DC=2\sqrt{75}=10\sqrt{3}

S=\frac{a^2\sqrt{3} }{4}

S=\frac{(10\sqrt{3})^2\sqrt{3}  }{4} =\frac{300\sqrt{3} }{4} =75\sqrt{3} m^2

Answer: A) S=75\sqrt{3}m²

2(2x + 3) = -6(x + 9)
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Your answer is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify 2(2x+3) to get 4x+6  

Then simplify -6(x+9) to get -6x-54

Now you have 4x+6=-6x-54

Move all of the coefficients to one side:

10x+6=-54

Move all of the constants to the other side:

10x=-60

Divide each side by 10:

10/10x=-60/10

To get your answer of -6.
