How many x-intercepts does the graph of the given equation have?

2 answers:

4 0

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.
Find x-intercepts by setting y = 0 and solving for x.
With 0 = -4x^2 + 4x - 1, this implies that a = -4, b = 4, and c = -1.
 discriminant = 4^2 - 4(-4)(-1)
 = 16 - 16
 = 0
The discriminant of 0 means there is only one real solution to 0 = -4x^2 + 4x - 1.
So there is only one x-intercept.

Your answer is one x-intercept.

Use the formula x=b^2-4ac
a= -4 , b= 4 , c= -1
Plug in into your formula
(4)^2-4(-4*-1)
16-16
x=0
so the solution only has one x-intercept

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a*b)^{n} = a^{n}*b^{n}\\\\(a^{n})^{m} = a^{m*n}\\\\ (-5q^{2}*p)^{3}= (-5)^{3}*q^{2*3}*p^{3}\\\\= -125q^{6}p^{3}$

Find the are of a parallelogram that has a base of 7 1/2 and a height of 5 2/7

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

$\sf A=bh$

Plug in what we know:

$\sf A=(7\dfrac{1}{2})(5\dfrac{2}{7})$

Convert both of them into improper fractions. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

$\sf A=(\dfrac{15}{2})(\dfrac{37}{7})$

Now multiply the numerators and denominators together:

$\sf A=\dfrac{15}{2}\cdot\dfrac{37}{7}\rightarrow\dfrac{15\cdot 37}{2\cdot 7}\rightarrow\dfrac{555}{14}$

Convert it back into a mixed number. 14 goes into 555 thirty-nine times. 14 * 39 = 546. 555 - 546 = 9. So we have 39 wholes and 9 left over, or:

$\sf 39\dfrac{9}{14}$

So this is the area of the parallelogram.

A right triangle has an area of 18 square inches.If the triangle is an isosceles triangle, what are the lengths of the legs of t

Gnom [1K]

If it is isosceles, than the legs are the same. We will call them X. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 (base * height). But the base and the height are both X. So the area (18) is equal to 1/2 (x * x), or 1/2(x^2). This means that 36 = x^2. Thus, the length of each side is 6 inches. You can check this work by plugging those into the formula for area. You will find that it equals 18.
