What is the relationship between the discriminant of a quadratic and its graph?

Mathematics
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]2 years ago
4 0

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.

Write a simplified expression using exponents that represents the area of the square.
olganol [36]

Answer:

The area of the square is 25d^{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given square, the length of the side = 5d.

Area of a square = side × side

Given: Side = 5d

Now plug in side 5d in the above area formula, we get

Area of the square = 5d × 5d

= 25d^{2}

Therefore, the answer is 25d^{2}.

Lindsay is 5 years younger than Mark. Seven years ago, the sum of their ages was 31.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The present age of Mark is 25 years.

And present age of Lindsay is  20 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume:

The present age of Lindsay = l

The present age of Mark = m

⇒ Age of Lindsay seven years ago =  (l -7) years

and Age of Mark seven years ago =  (m -7) years

According to question:

Lindsay is 5 years younger than Mark    ⇒   l = m  - 5

Seven years ago, the sum of their ages was 31  ⇒  (l-7) + (m -7)  = 31

So, the given set of equation are:

l = m  - 5    .........  (1)

(l-7) + (m -7)  = 31

⇒ ((m - 5) -7) + (m -7)  = 32  (from (1)

or, m -12 + m - 7  = 31

or, 2m = 31 + 19 = 50

⇒ m = 50 / 2  = 25, or m  = 25

Hence,the present age of Mark = 25 years

So,the present age of Lindsay = 25 - 5 = 20 years

Kevlar epoxy is a material used on the NASA space shuttles. Strands of this epoxy were tested at the 90% breaking strength. The
Ratling [72]

Answer:

range = 7.87

X = 62.12, X²= 164.3516

mean = 1.2424

variance = 1.779

standard deviation = 1.33379

coefficient of variation = 107.3559%

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) The range =

highest number - lowest number

= 7.89 - 0.02

= 7.87

b.) from the attachment I solved for X and X²

∑X = 62.12

∑X² = 164.3516

c.)

the mean = ∑x/n

n = 50

= 62.12/50

= 1.2424

variance =

σ² = [∑x²-(∑x)²/n] / n-1

= [164.3516 - (62.12)²/50] / 50-1

= 164.3516 - 77.17788/49

= 87.173712/49

= 1.779

standard deviation = √σ

= √1.779

= 1.33379

d. coefficient of variation

= σ/mean * 100

= 1.33379/1.2424 * 100

= 107.3559

This number tells us that the the standard deviation of the time to failure is larger than the average time. option 3 is the correc4 answer here
