Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The values on the left of the table represent the number of fish caught, and the number of the right of the table represents how many family members caught that amount of fish.
Therefore, the first row means that 0 family members caught 0 fish.
The second row means that 3 family members caught 1 fish.
The third row would mean 1 family member caught 2 fish.
The next row would mean 0 family members caught 3 fish.
And the final row would mean 4 family members caught 4 fish.
The question does not ask for the total amount of fish caught; rather is ask for the maximum number of fish that a single family member caught.
Therefore, the maximum amount of fish that a single family member catches is 4. (And 4 family members did so. But individually, the maximum amount of fish one person caught is 4).
The standard form of a quadratic equation is ,
ax² + bx + c = 0.
And the formula to find the discriminant is b² - 4ac.
Here the first step is to change the given equation into standard form. So, add 1 to each sides of the equation. Therefore,
2x² – 9x + 2+1 = –1 + 1
2x² – 9x + 3 = 0
Next step is to compare the given equation with this equation to get the value of a, b and c.
After comparing the equations we will get a = 2, b = -9 and c = 3.
So, discriminant = b²- 4ac
=( -9)²-4 (2)(3)
= 81 - 24
= 57
So, discriminant of the given equation is 57.
57 is greater than 0 and square root of 57 will result real number.
So, the correct choice is C: The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots.
