The discriminant is the part under the sqrt in the quadratic formula
for ax²+bx+c, the discriminant is b²-4ac
if the discriminant is
less than 0, then there are non-real roots
equal to 0, then there is a double root
greater than 0, then there are 2 real roots (may be rational or irrational)
so
1x²-5x+7
b²-4ac=(-5)²-4(1)(7)=25-28=-3
less than 0 so it is non real roots
answer is D
The height of the tower is 25.5 :))))
There are 4 possible heights and lengths. 1 and 136, 2 and 68, 4 and 34, 8 and 17 are the ones I came up with. Hope this helped.

Answer:
Thats FALSE.
The concept CORRELATION not automatically means CAUSATION.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.
And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:
Solution to the problem
Some useful concepts are:
Correlation is a statistical measure described with a number that describes the size and direction of a relationship between two or more variables. The correlation between variables, NOT mean that the change in one variable is the cause of the change in the values of the other variable.
Causation is a term refered to one event as the result of the occurrence of the other event for example, there is a causal relationship between event A and B like a cause and effect. One important thing to mention here is that the causation is not an easy concept to measure.
"The difference between the two types of relationships are easy to identify since one can be measured with a numerical value and the other no (Here is one example: smoking causes an increase in the risk of developing lung cancer), or it can correlate with another ( smoking is correlated with alcoholism, but it does not cause alcoholism)".
So is clear that the concept CORRELATION not automatically means CAUSATION.
