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.

Is 51x51 is even or odd
AURORKA [14]
You can predict that it's odd because the end of the 2 numbers is 1 and 1 x 1 is 1 and one is an odd number. (answer is odd)

Steps in multiplying fractions. Remember: finding common denominator is not necessary in multiplying fractions. 
Common denominators are only needed in adding and subtracting fractions.

14/15 * 5/2 

Step 1. Multiply the numerators.
14 * 5 = 70
Step 2. Multiply the denominators
15 * 2 = 30
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
70/30 = 2 10/30 = 2 1/3      

*the fraction 10/30 can still be simplified by dividing both numbers by 10. Hence, 1/3.

Steps in Dividing fractions.

24/60 ÷ 8/15

Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Reciprocal means the reverse of the fraction. Simply swap the places of the numbers.

Reciprocal of 8/15 is 15/8.

Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction. Follow steps in multiplying fractions.

24/60 * 15/8 = (24*15) / (60*8) = 360/480

Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
360/480 = 9 / 12 = 3/4

360 ÷ 40 =   9 ;   9 ÷ 3 = 3
480 ÷ 40 = 12 ; 12 ÷ 3 = 4

gregori [183]

Answer:

c= 12t

c is the amount of energy you burn, so it'll be the "solution" to the equation. Multiply 12 times the amount of time you spend exercising to find how much energy you'll burn.
