Why are standardized units of measure important to scientists?
490 divided by 35 equals 14. It would take Jack 14 minutes to write a 490 word essay.
The answer is b because you can divide them by 2 to get the answer<span />
If x^2+bx+16 has at least one real root, then the equation x^2+bx+16=0 has at least one solution. The discriminant of a quadratic equation is b^2-4ac and it determines the nature of the roots. If the discriminant is zero, there is exactly one distinct real root. If the discriminant is positive, there are exactly two roots. The discriminant of <span>x^2+bx+16=0 is b^2-4(1)(16). The inequality here gives the values of b where the discriminant will be positive or zero:
b^2-4(1)(16) ≥ 0
</span><span>b^2-64 ≥ 0
(b+8)(b-8) </span><span>≥ 0
The answer is that all possible values of b are in the interval (-inf, -8]∪[8,inf) because those are the intervals where </span>(b+8)(b-8) is positive.
Remember PEMDAS:
The answer is <span>106.72.</span>
