8 0

Hello :
(3x²+kx-1) is a quadratic polynome when : a =3 , b=k , c= -1
the discriminat Δ = b²-4ac ≥ 0 because ac = -3 < 0
-4ac >0 and b²≥0
the quadratic polynome has :2 solutios or 1 solution (Change of sign)
conclusion : is never always positive for any value of k

I dont understand what the question is asking me

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf$

Step-by-step explanation:

∠E = 1/2 (mCD - mAB)

Where mCD = 110° and mAB = 30°

∠E = 1/2 (110° - 30°)

∠E = 1/2 (80°)

∠E = 40°

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

The perimeter of a rectangular campsite is 64 cm and its area is 207 cm. Find the length and the breadth of the rectangle.

AlladinOne [14]

Perimeter Formula:
$2l + 2b = 64$

Area Formula:
$l \times b = 207$
Set perimeter Formula equal to b:
$2l + 2b = 64 \\ 2(l + b) = 64 \\ l+ b = 32 \\ b = 32 - l$
Plug formula for be we just made above into the area Formula:
$(32 - l) \times l = 207$

Solve for L (you'll have to use quadratic formula) then plug that back into the area Equation and solve for b.

Here's a link to where the problem has been explained before (they go into more detail than me).

Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

stellarik [79]

well, looking at the picture of this vertically opening parabola, it has a vertex at 0,0 and it passes through 2,1 hmm ok

$~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{"a"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"a"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ y = a(x-0)^2+0\qquad \stackrel{\textit{we also know that}}{x=2\qquad y = 1}\qquad \implies 1=a(2-0)^2+0 \\\\\\ 1=4a\implies \cfrac{1}{4}=a~\hspace{10em} \boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{4}x^2}$
