A) Discriminant =  12

B) 2 Solutions

C) Real roots

D) Irrational solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x^2+ 8x = 13

A) Discriminant:

The discriminant of the quadratic equation following ax^2+bx+c=0 is equal to b^2 -4ac. The notation used for the discriminant is Δ (delta), so we have \Delta =b^2 -4ac.

x^2+ 8x = 13

x^2+ 8x - 13 =  0

Now the Discriminant

=  (8)^2 -  4(1)(13)

=  64 - 52

=  12

Thus \Delta  =  12

B. Number of solutions for the quadratic equation

The Given equation is quadratic equation. The quadratic equation has a degree two. when the calculation of the discriminant is a positive number, the equation has two distinct roots.So the number of solutions is 2

C. Type of solutions (circle one):

A positive discriminant indicates that the quadratic has two distinct real number solutions.

Hence the roots are real

D. Type of solutions

The discriminant  is Real but they are not perfect squares . hence the Solutions are irrational

A triangle has side lengths of (q+r)(q+r) centimeters, (5q-10s)(5q−10s) centimeters, and (5s-7r)(5s−7r) centimeters. Which expre
Stolb23 [73]

The expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle is 6q - 6r - 5s

<h3>What is the perimeter?</h3>

The formula for perimeter of a triangle is expressed as;

Perimeter = a + b + c

Where a , b and c are the lengths of its side

  • (q+r)
  • (5q-10s)
  • (5s-7r)

Now, let's substitute the values

Perimeter = (q + r) + (5q - 10s) + (5s - 7r)

expand the bracket

Perimeter = q + r + 5q - 10s + 5s - 7r

collect like terms

Perimeter = q + 5q + r - 7r -10s + 5s

Add like terms

Perimeter = 6q - 6r - 5s

Thus, the expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle is 6q - 6r - 5s
