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

AveGali [126]

There isn't an obvious question to this problem but with the given we can assume what is to be asked. I think we are to find the total cost of a certain poultry seasoning. The poultry seasoning would have a total weight of 4+2=6 ounces. The total cost will then have to be 4(4) + 2(3) = 22 dollars.

For an angle θ with the point (−5, −12) on its terminating side, what is the value of cosine?
viva [34]

Answer:

option C. -\frac{5}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have  that

The point (-5,-12) belong to the III quadrant

so

The value of the cosine is negative

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

Find the value of the hypotenuse

h^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}\\ h^{2} =25+144\\ h^{2}=169\\h=13\ units

The value of cosine of angle θ is the ratio between the side adjacent to angle θ and the hypotenuse

cos(\theta)=-\frac{5}{13}
