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

Beth is writing out the steps using the "Shortest Route Algorithm". She just finished writing out all
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

ACBD; 7

Step-by-step Explanation:

The Route Algorigtm finds the short route that is efficient, in order to find the solution following pathways.

From the pictures from the complete question,

STEP #1, there exist, three routes, which are:

AB

AC,

and AD.

*AB is not viable because of the negative distance, so it can be removed .

* the AC distance is 3,and AD distance is 8. Therefore, AC can be selected and circled.is because of AC efficiency is high compare to AD.

*from selected AC, the possible routes are ACB; 3 and ACE; 6. which are route shown in #2

* ACB is circled, because it's more shorter than ACE

*The possible routes are ACBE; 8 and ACBD; 7. which are route shown in #3 . Therefore, route ACBD is circled because it's more shorter.

From the analysis of the algorithm, the route ACBD route is the shortest and the most efficient

if P(x)=1+6x-5x^2 represents the profit in selling x thousand Boombotix speakers, how many speakers should be sold to maximize p
Rashid [163]

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = 1 + 6x - 5x^2

x max = -b/2a

a = -5

b = 6

-6/2(-5) = 6/10 = 3/5 = .6

.6 thousand = 600

600 speakers should be sold.

Alternatively, you can check the vertex of the parabola formed.
