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.

The average annual income, I, in dollars, of a lawyer with an age of x years is modeled with the following function:

Eduardwww [97]

I = -425x^2 + 45500x - 650000
For I to be maximum, dI/dx = 0
dI/dx = -850x + 45500 = 0
x = 45500/850 = 53.53

Therefore, maximum I = -425(53.53)^2 + 45500(53.53) - 650000 = 567,794.11

Therefore, <span>the maximum average annual income, in dollars, a lawyer can earn</span> is $567,794

The surface area of a given cone is 1,885.7143 square inches. What is the slang height?

kap26 [50]

Answer:

If $r >> h$ , the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone (A) is given by this formula:

$A = \pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi\cdot s$

Where:

$r$ - Base radius of the cone, measured in inches.

$s$ - Slant height, measured in inches.

In addition, the slant height is calculated by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

$s = \sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}$

Where $h$ is the altitude of the cone, measured in inches. If $r >> h$ , then:

$s \approx r$

And:

$A = \pi\cdot r^{2} +2\pi\cdot r$

Given that $A = 1885.7143\,in^{2}$ , the following second-order polynomial is obtained:

$\pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi \cdot r -1885.7143\,in^{2} = 0$

Roots can be found by the Quadratic Formula:

$r_{1,2} = \frac{-2\pi \pm \sqrt{4\pi^{2}-4\pi\cdot (-1885.7143)}}{2\pi}$

$r_{1,2} \approx -1\,in \pm 24.521\,in$

$r_{1} \approx 23.521\,in \,\wedge\,r_{2}\approx -25.521\,in$

As radius is a positive unit, the first root is the only solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.
