Answer:

Discriminant = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We use formula to find the discriminant.

Discriminant (D) = b^2 - 4ac

The given equation is x^2 - 6x + 4 = 0.

Here the value of a = 1, b = -6 and c = 4.

Plug in the given values in the formula, we get

Discriminant (D) = (-6)^2 - 4*1*4

= 36 - 16

Discriminant = 20

Thank you.

Answer:

$4,280\ passes$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of annual visitors pass sold

we know that

To find out the number of annual visitor passes sold, divide the total amount raised by the cost of a pass.

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$12.50x=53,500$

Solve for x

Divide by 12.50 both sides

$x=\frac{53,500}{12.50}=4,280\ passes$

How much does the book cost?

lina2011 [118]

Okay so the two equations are (b-book d-dvd)
d-4=b
and 3d+b=28

so to solve this if we know that a dvd costs £4 more than a book and we have 3 of them then if we take 3 lots of 4 away from the 28 then we will have an amount equal to 4 books
so 28-12=14
14/4= £3.50
if 1 book is £3.50 then a dvd is £7.50 as it is £4 more
