Answer:
2 (real) solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic always has two solutions, whether they are real or complex.
Sometimes the solution is complex, involving complex numbers (2 complex), sometimes they are real and distinct (2 real), and sometimes they are real and coincident (still two real, but they are the same).
In the case of
x^2+3x = 3, or
x² + 3x -3 = 0
we apply the quadratic formula to get
x = (-3 +/- sqrt(3^2+4(1)(3))/2
to give the two solutions
{(sqrt(21)-3)/2, -(sqrt(21)+3)/2,}
both of which are real.

Answer:
The focus of the parabola is at the point (0, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the focus of a parabola resides at the same distance from the parabola's vertex, as the distance from the parabola's vertex to the directrix, and on the side of the curve's concavity. In fact this is a nice geometrical property of the parabola and the way it can be constructed base of its definition: "All those points on the lane whose distance to the focus equal the distance to the directrix."
Then, the focus must be at a distance of two units from the vertex, (0,0), on in line with the parabola's axis of symmetry (x=0), and on the positive side of the y-axis (notice the directrix is on the negative side of the y-axis. So that puts the focus of this parabola at the point (0, 2)

Answer:
1.778 times more or 16/9 times more
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''
- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"
Find:
Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?
Solution:
- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:
LGP ∝ A
- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:
A ∝ D^2
- Hence, LGP ∝ D^2
- Now compare the two diameters given:
LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2
LGP ∝ (D_2)^2
- Take a ratio of both:
LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2
- Plug in the values:
LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2
- Compute: LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more
