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

What is 3/16= c-7/8 please answer
Bingel [31]

Answer:

c=17/16

Step-by-step explanation:

3/16=c-7/8

find the common denominator

3/16=c-14/16

add 14/16 on both sides to cancel

c=17/16

<span>f(x)=âš(4x+6) g(x)=âš(4x-6) This is what we are given to work with, originally. Now, for the next part, we are asked to add the functions f(x) and g(x) together - and this is just what you do! You add the functions together, and then combine like terms. (f+g)(x)=âš(4x+6)+âš(4x-6) --> âš(8x) + 6 - 6 :: and the 6's cancel each other, while the root 4x's add... and you have... (f+g)(x)=âš(8x) Thank you very much.</span>

Vijay missed 12 out of his last 16 free throws. Considering this data, how many of his next 20 free-throw attempts would you exp
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The fraction computed shows that the number of his next 20 free-throw attempts that you expect Vijay to miss is 15.

<h3>How to solve the fraction?</h3>

From the information given, Vijay missed 12 out of his last 16 free throws. The fraction missed will be:

= 12/16

= 3/4

Therefore, the number of his next 20 free-throw attempts that you expect Vijay to miss will be:

= 3/4 × 20

= 15
