Compute the value of the discriminant and give the number of real solutions of the quadratic equation. -2x^2+8x-1=0

1 answer:

4 0

Divide given eq. by -2, we get, x^2-4x+0.5=0. Here a=1, b=-4 and c=0.5. As disccriminant is given by sqrt(b^2-4*a*c).so sqrt((-4)^2-4*1*0.5)=3.7417.
Real roots are x1,2=-b+-discriminant
x1=-4+3.7417=-0.2583 and x2=-4-3.7417=-7.7417

How to you get the radical form?

Over [174]

Answer:

Note: this answer is kind of long so jump to picture to see a visual process.

In order to find the simplest radical form of a square root, you need prime factorize the number. In order to do this, you take a number and divide it by different prime numbers until all of its factors are now prime. We will use 24 as our example. 24 divided by 2 (which is prime) is 12. 12 divided by 2, is 6. 6 divided by 2 is 3. Therefor, our prime factorization of 24 is 2^3 * 3, which basically means 8 * 3. Then, take take out pairs of the same number and put on the OUTSIDE of the root. However, make sure that it is NEXT to the square root and not inside the mini hook that the square root makes. This means that that number is multiplying the square root of the number. Now, the only pair in this prime factorization is 2, so take two out of the prime factorization and that leaves us with square root 6 times 2, which is the answer.

Also, when taking out pairs, only take one number from the pair (in this case 2) and put it on the outside. If there is another pair, multiply that number by the other number. So if there was a pair of 3 and a pair of 2, take out 1 three and 1 two and multiply them and put on the outside.

How do you find the arctan 4/3 ? (Without a calculator)

Soloha48 [4]

If arctan 4/3 = the tangent of that angle will be 4/3 , opposite 4 over adjacent 3

Now, you only have to take the sin of that angle it's opposite 4 over hypotenuse 5.

You will get that the answer is 4/5

hope this helps

Answer:

x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1 is the axis of symmetric for the graph

if we draw a line parallel to the y axis one units to the right side of the origin we get the line of symmetry of the graph.

and since the line of symmetry is parallel to y axis and passes thru the point (1, 0) it's equation is x= 1
