How many real number solutions does the equation have? Y=-5x^2+8x-7

1 answer:

6 0

The nature of the solutions/roots of a quadratic function can be determined from its discriminant.

The discriminant of a quadratic function can be calculated as:

Discriminant = b² - 4ac

Here,
a = coefficient of squared term = -5
b = coefficient of x term = 8
c = constant = - 7

So, the discriminant will be:

Discriminant = 64 - 4(-5)(-7) = - 76

The value of the discriminant is negative. This shows that the given quadratic function has no real solution.

A and B I believe.

It would be A because jump height can be found out by the amount of force you exert to get you into the air minus the gravitational force.

It would also be B because the amount of time you run on the track can be found out by dividing the track length by your speed on the track.

Hope this helps!

In a right triangle, if cos x = 1/2, then what is tan x?

Masteriza [31]

The value of tan x when cos x= 1/2 is; √3

<h3>Right-angled triangles</h3>

From Trigonometric identities of right Triangles;

It follows that;

cos x = adj/hyp

Hence, the opposite of angle X is;

Opp = √(2²-1²)

Opp = √3.

Hence, it follows that tan x;

tan x = opp/adj = √3/1

Hence, the value of tan x = √3.
