This expression is called the Discriminant, also shown as Δ.
It is equal to b² - 4ac. This is a very important part of the quadratic formula as it determines whether x will have two values, one repeated value or no real values. Here are a few examples.
a) x² - 2x - 1. a is equal to 1 since 1x² = x². b = -2, c = -1
The discriminant will be (-2)² - 4×1×-1 = 4 + 4 = 8.
Since Δ > 0, there are two x values. Graphed, the parabola sinks below the x axis.
b) x². a = 1, b = 0 (0x = 0), c = 0
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×0 = 0 - 0 = 0.
Since Δ = 0, there is only one x value. Graphed, the parabola touches the x axis at only one point.
c) x² + 1. a = 1, c = 1.
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×1 = 0 - 4 = -4
Since Δ < 0, there are no real x values. Graphed, the parabola floats above the x axis.
Hope this helps!

For h(x) = -7x + 10, x =1
For r(x) = 4/5x+ 7 , x = -15
Step-by-step explanation:
in order to find the value of x on which the functions will have given values, we will put the functions equal to the given values
So,
<u>h(x) = -7x + 10; h(x) = 3</u>
Dividing both sides by -7
<u>r(x) = 4/5x+7; r(x) = -5</u>
<u></u>

sorry but you can write question instead of writing that because some of you may know that but others donot knew it
