If x=6 is the only X-intercept of the graph of a quadratic equation, which statement best describes the discriminant of the

Mathematics

Answer:

The discriminant is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In a quadratic equation , we use the quadratic formula to find the solutions

 x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a

 where a, b, and c are coefficients of the equation

 ax2 + bx + c = 0

 Since x=6 is the only x-intercept, the equation would be

 (x - 6)(x - 6) = 0

 Expanding this out, we get

 x2 - 12x + 36 = 0

 In this equation,

 a = 1

b = -12

c = 36

 Now the discriminant is the square-root part of the formula:

 b2 - 4ac

 Now plug in the values of a,b, and c into the discriminant.  

(-12)2 - 4(1)(36) = 144 - 144 = 0

 This number is under the square-root. The square-root of 0 is 0.

What is true about this linear inequality <br> y&gt;3/4-2
astraxan [27]

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. The statements that are correct are B, D, and E.

<h3>What are inequalities?</h3>

Inequalities help us to compare two unequal expressions. Also, it helps us to compare the non-equal expressions so that an equation can be formed.

It is mostly denoted by the symbol <, >, ≤, and ≥.

The complete question is:

Which statements are true about the linear inequality y >3/4 x – 2? Check all that apply.

-The slope of the line is –2.

-The graph of y >3/4 x – 2 is a dashed line.

-The area below the line is shaded.

-One solution to the inequality is (0, 0).

-The graph intercepts the y-axis at (0, –2)

-The slope of the line is 3/4. Thus, the first statement is false.

-The graph of y >3/4 x – 2 is a dashed line. The given statement is true.

-The area below the line is shaded. The statement is false.

-One solution to the inequality is (0, 0). The given statement is true.

-The graph intercepts the y-axis at (0, –2) The statement is true.

Hence, the statements that are correct are B, D, and E.
