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

Mathematics

makkiz [27]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Determine the value of a 10 year old car that costs $24,500 new and depreciates by 9% every year
son4ous [18]
First, we need to know how much the car depreciates each year. Multiply the price of the car by the percentage.

We can turn 9% into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the right.

9% = .09

24500 * .09 = 2205

Multiply the product by the amount of years you want to predict the price at.

2205 * 10 = 22050

Subtract that from the original price of the car.

24500 - 22050 = 2450

The value of a 10 year old car that costs $24500 and depreciates 9% every year will cost $2450.

lana [24]

Answer: 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:Let the standard deviation of the shoe size be represented by ' ' and the mean shoe size be represented by ' = 7.5'. Also, the sizes of the shoe be represented by ' '. So, . Hence, the standard deviation of the shoe size data for the math class is 1.5.

Given the functions: f(x) = x^2-9 and g(x) = 3 what is (f/g)(x)? A. x-3 B. x-9 C. x+3 D. x+9
uysha [10]

Answer:

f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}(

g

f

)(x)=

g(x)

f(x)

= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}=

4−5x

3x+2

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}
