A quadratic equation is shown below:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]3 years ago
6 0
Part A:
3x^2-15x+20=0
ax^2+bx+c=0; a=3, b=-15, c=20
Radicand: R=b^2-4ac
R=(-15)^2-4(3)(20)
R=225-240
R=-15<0, then the equation has two imaginary solutions (no real)

Part B:
3x^2+5x-8=0
a=3, b=5, c=-8
R=(5)^2-4(3)(-8)
R=25+96
R=121>0, then the equation has two different real solutions:
x=[-b+-sqrt(R)] / (2a)
x=[-5+-sqrt(121)] / [2(3)]
x=(-5+-11) / 6

x1=(-5-11)/6=(-16)/6→x1=-8/3

x2=(-5+11)/6=6/6→x2=1

Solutions: x=-8/3 and x=1

I shose this method because I can get the solutions directly, and I don't have to guess the possible solutions

LiRa [457]

Answer:

d = \sqrt{146}

Step-by-step explanation:

d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d= \sqrt{(-5-0)^2+(-9-2)^2}\\d= \sqrt{(-5)^2+(-11)^2}\\d= \sqrt{25+121}\\d= \sqrt{146}

Translate this phrase into an algebraic expression. 73 less than twice Jose's height Use the variable to represent Jose's height
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

x-73

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=Jose's height.  If it says "less than," then that is subtraction.  Since Jose's height is not defined, there is no specific number that can be used to describe "73 less than twice Jose's height," so I use the variable x, and then subtract 73.
