Alejandro rounded the number 76.518 to 76.5. Jiro rounded the same number to 76.52. Who is correct? Explain your reasoning

I believe Jiro is correct because if you want to count change or money in a problem you would need to end the two digits in the hundredths place. If I want to divide 321÷7 to give someone their change, I would round to the nearest hundredth place because that the most of change that could be available in cents.
321÷7=45.857142857 rounded into $45.85
I'm trying to give as must change as there is possible that was created in money which is the hundredth place that represent cents.

not sure if this makes sense but I tried.

Alejandro is correct because you do not need to add another number to 76.518, as Jiro did, but you need to round it to the nearest tenth.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

Describe the nature of the roots for this equation.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Option D. two complex roots

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ the discriminant D is equal to

$D=(b^{2}-4ac)$

in this problem we have

$3x^{2} -2x+1=0$

$a=3\\b=-2\\c=1$

substitute the values

$D=(-2^{2}-4(3)(1))$

$D=(4-12)$

$D=-8$

The discriminant is negative

therefore

The quadratic equation has two complex roots
