The discriminant explains how many solutions the quadratic function has. It is found using this formula:

$b^2-4ac$

Using the formula, there are three rules. Let's say the discriminant=d:
d<0 - No solution ø
d=0 -ONLY 1 solution
d>0 -2 solutions

In the following graph, there are no solutions as the graph does not hit the x-axis at any point. Thereafter, the discriminant MUST be less than zero. Let's view the options check which one agrees with our answer.

A - Discriminant is greater than 0, which means two solutions. This is WRONG.
B - Discriminant is less than 0, which means no solutions. CORRECT!
C- Discriminant is equal to 0, which means one solution. WRONG!

Your answer is B.

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints (2,-5) and (8,3)

Papessa [141]

Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2} ,\frac{y_2+y_1}{2} )$

Plug the coordinates into the midpoint formula and solve as such:

$(\frac{2+8}{2} ,\frac{-5+3}{2} )\\\\(\frac{10}{2} ,\frac{-2}{2} )\\\\(5,-1)$

<u>Your midpoint is (5,-1).</u>

Two-thirds of the T-shirts in a T-shirt shop are blue. Three-fifths of those T-shirts are on sale. One-half of the blue T

katrin2010 [14]

Let, total number of T-shirts are x.

Number of blue T-shirts = (2/3)x = 2x/3 .

Number of blue shirts on sale = (3/5)(2x/3) = 2x/5 .

Number of medium sized blue shirts on sale = (1/5)(2x/5) = 2x/25 .

Fraction of the shop's T-shirts are blue T-shirts that are on sale and are size medium = $\dfrac{2x/25}{x}$ = 2/25 . ( Number of medium sized blue shirts on sale divided by total number of T-shirts )
