Answer: That would be the third option
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to divide 64/3 by the book thickness, 4/3. Since these two fractions have the same denominator, we can drop the 3's and focus on 64/4.
64/4 = 16
The third answer is the correct one. The other three answers aren't even close!
3. | -9 | = 9
7. - | -5 * -7 | = - | 35 | = -35
15. | m + 3 | = 7
m + 3 = 7 -(m + 3) = 7
m = 7 - 3 -m - 3 = 7
m = 4 -m = 10
m = -10
so m = 4 and m = -10
17. | -3d | = 15
-3d = 15 -(-3d) = 15
d = 15/-3 3d = 15
d = - 5 d = 15/3
d = 5
so d = 5 and d = -5
19. | 4b - 5 | = 19
4b - 5 = 19 -(4b - 5) = 19
4b = 19 + 5 -4b + 5 = 19
4b = 24 -4b = 14
b = 24/4 b = 14/-4
b = 6 b = - 7/2
so b = 6 or b = -7/2
20. | x - 1 | + 5 = 2
| x - 1 | = 2 - 5
| x - 1 | = -3
There is no solution on this one because an absolute value cannot equal a negative number
21. -4 | 8 - 5n | = 13
| 8 - 5n | = - 13/4
There is also no solution for this one because of the same reason...absolute values cannot equal negative numbers
ANSWER
The discriminant is zero.
The given equation has one real root.
EXPLANATION
The given quadratic equation is:
We rewrite this in the form;
This means that,
a=-2, b= 8, c=-8
The discriminant is given by;
D=b² - 4ac
That is:
Therefore the discriminant is zero.
This tells us that the quadratic equation has one real root.
In order words, the given quadratic equation has a repeated real root.
