ABLE Trucking Company has a job moving 21 tons of sand. The company has 8 drivers in the company and 2 types of trucks. One type

of truck can haul 5 tons of sand and the other type of truck can haul 3 tons. Insurance requirements make it necessary for trucks hauling 5 tons of sand to have two drivers in the cab during the operation. Three ton trucks require only one driver. Using all available drivers, how many trucks of each size will be needed to move the sand in one trip?

You need 3 trucks of sand that hold 5 tons and 2 trucks that hold 3 tons to move all the sand in one trip

Well you need three trucks that can pull 5 tons of sand each; that gives us 15 tons total taken care of so far, and 2 drivers left.
The last two drivers drive two trucks that pull 3 tons of sand each; giving us a total of 21 tons and zero drivers left.
Hope this helps!

What is the relationship between the discriminant of a quadratic and its graph?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

In a quadratic equation of the shape:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

we hate that the discriminant is equal to:

D =  b^2 - 4*a*c

This thing appears in the Bhaskara's formula for the roots of the quadratic equation:

x = \frac{-b +-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

You can see that the determinant is inside a square root, this means that if D is smaller than zero we will have imaginary roots (the graph never touches the x-axis)

If D = 0, the square root term dissapear, and this implies that both roots of the equation are the same, this means that the graph touches the x axis in only one point, wich coincides with the minimum/maximum of the graph)

If D > 0 we have two different roots, so the graph touches the x-axis in two different points.
