Explain why a positive discriminant results in two real solutions...

Mathematics
1 answer:
marta [7]3 years ago
3 0
You have three cases for a discriminant:

1. Zero 
A zero in the discriminant means that there is one solution, since it's ... plus/minus zero, which is just ... 

2. Negative
Negative means no real solutions, as the square root of a negative number is not real. 

3. Positive
If you have a positive number within the square root, it means that your solutions will be ... plus/minus whatever the square root is. One solution is the plus, and one solution is the minus, hence two solutions.

It takes you 3/8 of a hour to walk 9/10 of a mile. How far can you walk in 2 hours?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Velocity = distance / time

Velocity = (9/10) / (3/8)

Velocity = (9/10) * (8/3) = 72 / 30 =24 / 10 = 2.4 miles per hour

Therefore, you could walk 4.8 miles in 2 hours.
