What is the value of b2 - 4ac for the following equation? 2x2 + 3x = -1

2 answers:

7 0

The value of b^2-4ac is known as the discriminant of a quadratic function, and can tell you how many roots exist of this function depending on what it is equal to.

Start by moving the -1 to the other side, as we need this function to equal zero.

2x^2 + 3x + 1 = 0

This is now the standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Plug each value that corresponds into the discriminant equation.

b^2-4ac
(3)^2 - 4(2)(1)
9 - 8
1

The value of the discriminant is 1, meaning that two real roots exist for the function described.

Is the point (3, 4) a solution to the equation 3y = 2x +6 ? Explain why using evidence from your work

irinina [24]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

When graphing it you can see that (3, 4) is clearly a solution. The proper equation using slope intercept form is y= 2/3x + 2.

Given: x - 5 > -2. Choose the solution set. {x | x R, x > -7} {x | x R, x > -3} {x | x R, x > 3} {x | x R, x > 7}

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

{x | x ∈ R, x > 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following inequality:

x - 5 > -2

In order to find the solution, we have to isolate the x on one side. This can be done by adding 5 to both sides of the inequality as shown below:

x - 5 + 5 > -2 + 5

x > 3

So the solution of the inequality is set of all numbers where x > 3. This is represented by 3rd option.

So, {x | x ∈ R, x > 3} is the answer.

What is the pobability that a number cube with six

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the total number of outcomes for fair dice {1,2,3,4,5,6} = 6

Given : Favorable outcome = 5

i.e. Number of favorable outcomes =1

We know that the formula to find the probability for each event is given by :-

$\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

Then, the probability that the six faces cube will land with the number 5 face up will be :_

$\dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, the required probability = $\dfrac{1}{6}$
