Answer:

The discriminant of the equation is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given graph is a quadratic equation. If x = 6 is the only x-intercept of the graph, then the roots must be equal.

The quadratic equation will have two solutions. Here the two solutions are equal x = 6.

If the roots are equal, then the discriminant is zero.

The factors of the quadratic equation (x - 6) (x - 6)

= x^2 - 6x - 6x + 36

= x^2 -12x + 36

Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac

Here a = 1, b = -12 and c = 36

Discriminant = (-12)^{2} - 4.1.36

= 144 - 144

= 0

Therefore, the answer is "The discriminant of the equation is zero."

Answer:

discriminant is zero (0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually, you have a double root here:  {6, 6}:  "two real, equal roots."  That tells us immediately that the value of the discriminant was zero (0).

Show work please find the volume of the following irregular space figure to the nearest whole number
artcher [175]

Answer:

144cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) split the figure so you can find the volume of two rectangular prisms.

2) Find the volume of the first rectangular prism with the measurements of 2,       5, and 8. So the volume is 80

3) Find the volume of the second rectangular prism with the measurements of 4, 2, and 8. So you have 64

4) Add the two values 80+64.

5) Then that's your answer; 144

Hope this helps! :D

Solve for x: x + 2 = 17
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2 = 17

We can subtract 2 from both sides:

x + 2 - 2 = 17 - 2

x = 15

Answer: x = 15
