At most 4 times
hmm
where it touches is when y=0
so just have lots of zeroes
y=(x-r1) is a zero
so 4 zeroes is
y=(x-r1)(x-r2)(x-r3)(x-r4)
if we expand it it is degree 4

minimum degree is 4th

This is just simple Pythagorean’s theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Number 2:
5^2 + x^2 = 10^2
25 + x^2 = 100
x^2 = 75
x = sqrt 75 = 5*sqrt(3)

Number 3:
4^2 + x^2 = 7^2
16 + x^2 = 49
x^2 = 33
x = sqrt 33

Help please, I attached the question. Is it a!? <br> 
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a quadratic equation of the form:

0=ax^2+bx+c

The number of solutions it has can be determined using its discriminant:  

\Delta = b^2-4ac

Where:

  • If the discriminant is positive, we have two real solutions.
  • If the discriminant is negative, we have no real solutions.
  • And if the discriminant is zero, we have exactly one solution.

We have the equation:

2x^2+5x-k=0

Thus, <em>a</em> = 2, <em>b</em> = 5, and <em>c</em> = -<em>k</em>.

In order for the equation to have exactly one distinct solution, the discriminant must equal zero. Hence:

b^2-4ac=0

Substitute:

(5)^2-4(2)(-k)=0

Solve for <em>k</em>. Simplify:

25+8k=0

Solve:

\displaystyle k = -\frac{25}{8}

Thus, our answer is indeed A.
