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.

A swimming pool has a diameter of 24 feet. What is the minimum amount of fabric needed to cover the pool if the cover must hang
Alika [10]

Answer:

531.167 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Dimension of pool

Diameter =24ft

Radius =12ft

If the cover must hang by 1ft around, then the diameter is 26ft

Radius =13ft

Area of cover = πr²

Substitute

Area = 3.142*13²

Area =3.143*169

Area =531.167 ft²

Hence the minimum area is 531.167 ft²

The daily mean temperature in a particular place is 83. how many cooling-degree days were accumulated?
olga55 [171]
Degree days are the difference between the daily temperature mean, (high temperature plus low temperature divided by two) and 65°F. 65°F because we assume that at this temperature we do not need cooling or heating. 
In our case the daily mean temperature is 83°F and X is the number of cooling-degree days.
X=83-65
X=18
