Hola!

Standard form of an Eqn. is
ax² + bx + c = 0

Discriminant = b² - 4ac

When,

→ b² - 4ac > 0 -- [ real and distinct roots. ]
→ b² - 4ac < 0 -- [ no real roots, Imaginary numbers. ]
→ b² - 4ac = 0 -- [ real and equal roots. ]

According to Question,

1.] x² - 8x + 7 = 0

here,
→ a = 1
→ b = -8
→ c = 7

Discriminant = b² - 4ac

= (-8)² - 4 × (1) × (7)

= 64 - 28

= 36
[ Since, D > 0 -- Eqn has two real roots ]

Thus,
We have 2 real solutions.

2.] 2x² + 4x + 2 = 0

here,
→ a = 2
→ b = 4
→ c = 2

Discriminant = b² - 4ac

= (4)² - 4 × (2) × (2)

= 16 - 16

= 0
[ Since, D = 0 -- Eqn has equal roots ]

Thus,
We have 1 real solution.

hope it helps!

Hi there!

When we have an equation standard form...
a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0
...the formula of the discriminant is
D = b^2 - 4ac

When
D > 0 we have two real solutions
D = 0 we have one real solutions
D < 0 we don't have real solutions

1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of
x^2-8x+7=0

Plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant

( - 8) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 7 = 64 - 28 = 36

D > 0 and therefore we have two real solutions.

2.) Find the value of the discriminant and the number of real solutions of
2x^2+4x+2=0

Again, plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant.

{4}^{2} - 4 \times 2 \times 2 = 16 - 16 = 0

D = 0 and therefore we have one real solution.

~ Hope this helps you.

Find the value of x in the equation below.<br> 48 = 6x
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple one-step algebraic equation. In algebra, to find x you must isolate the variable. To do this, use the property of equality. This property states that an equation is still true if you do the same thing to both sides. For example, the equation would still be true if you added 1 to both sides.

To isolate x divide both sides by 6. This equals 48/6 = 6x/6. Which simplifies to 8=x.
