Answer: 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total length of the rope = 35 feet

Let the length of the shorter section be x, then the longer section would be 6x.

According to the question, we have

x+6x=35\\\\\Rightarrow7x=35\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{35}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow x=5\ feet

Also, 6x= 6(5)=30\ feet

Hence, the  length of the shorter section = 5 feet

X is the first section soit the second is 6x
and x + 6x = 7x = 35 ft => x = 5 ft

Given the trinomial 2x2 − 5x + 3, what is the value of the Discriminant and what can be said about the solutions.
valina [46]
The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.
