These are two questions and two answers:
Question 1:
<span>A
quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe
the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show
your work.
Answer: </span><span>The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Explanation:
1) With radicand the statement means the disciminant of the quadratic function.
2) The discriminant is: b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c
3) Then, for 3x² - 15x + 20, a = 3, b = - 15, and c = 20
and the discriminant (radicand) is: (-15)² - 4(3)(20) = 225 - 240 = - 15.
4) The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Question 2:
Part B: Solve 3x^2 + 5x − 8 = 0 by using an appropriate
method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the
method used.
Answer: </span> two solutions x = 1 and x = - 8/3x
Explanation:
1) I choose factoring (you may use the quadratic formula if you prefer)
2) Factoring
Given: 3x² + 5x − 8 = 0
Make 5x = 8x - 3x: 3x² + 8x - 3x - 8 = 0
Group: (3x² - 3x) + (8x - 8) = 0
Common factors for each group: 3x(x -1) + 8(x - 1) = 0
Coomon factor x - 1: (x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0
The two solutions are for each factor equal to zero:
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = -8/3
Those are the two solutions. x = 1 and x = - 8/3
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
Using side b as the base, 4 points makes 3 bases (the space in between). With three bases, you can have 3 bases of 1 segment, 2 bases of 2 segments, and 1 base of 3 segments. This equals 6 bases. Each of these can connect to a point on line a. 6x6=36
Using side a as the base, 6 points makes 5 bases. With 5 bases, you can have 5 bases of 1 segment, 4 bases of 2 segments, 3 bases of 3 segments, 2 bases of 4 segments, and 1 base of 5 segments. This equals 15 bases. Each of these can connect to a point on line b. 15x4=60
36+60=96
Answer:
The answer is 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be <em>x</em>
x/40 is her mark
she got 90% mark correct
x/40 x 100 = 90
by cancellation we get 9 x 4 = 36
HOPE THIS HELPS
Basically, you just have to find the length of the rectangle that is 27 x 78 feet.
The equation for the diagonal:
d = sqrt(l^2+w^2)
l = 27
w = 78
plug them in and solve
d = sqrt ( (27^2) + (78^2) )
d = sqrt ( 729 + 6084 )
d = sqrt ( 6813 )
d <span>≈ 82.5
The ball traveled approximately 82.5 feet from one corner of the rectangular 27 x 78 foot field, diagonally to the other side.
Hope this helps</span>
