Answer:

  if one equation has no real roots, the other must have real roots. Hence, at least one equation has real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of the first equation is ...

  d1 = b^2 -4ac

The discriminant of the second equation is ...

  d2 = b^2 +4ac

__

Suppose the first equation has no real roots. Then ...

  d1 < 0

  b^2 -4ac < 0

  b^2 < 4ac

We know that b^2 is non-negative, so this means 4ac is positive. For that case,

  d2 = b^2 +4ac

is the sum of a positive number and a non-negative number so will be positive. When the discriminant is positive, there are two real roots.

When the first equation has no real roots, the second one must have two real roots.

__

Suppose the second equation has no real roots. Then ...

  d2 < 0

  b^2 +4ac < 0

  b^2 < -4ac

Again, b^2 is non-negative, so -4ac must be positive. For this case, the sum ...

  d1 = b^2 -4ac

is the sum of a non-negative and a positive number, so will be positive. The positive discriminant means there are two real roots.

When the second equation has no real roots, the first one must have two real roots.

One of these equations will have real roots, or not. If not, the other must have (distinct) real roots.

Answer:

d.  x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />\sqrt{(x + 3)}÷ (x+8)(x-2) = 0

f(x) / g(x) = 0

Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values −8,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by (x−2)(x+8).

<u />\sqrt{(x + 3)} = 0 ------ square both sides

x + 3 = 0

solve for x:

x = -3

Scale on map is Lin 86 mi if actual distance is 35 mi . Between two cities how far apart on the map are they
Mrac [35]

Answer:

0.41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the map is 1 in 86 mi.

This means that, 1 cm on the map represents 86 miles in real life, or on earth.

Then we're told that in real life, a distance is 35 miles, and how far they are on the map.

If 1 cm equals 86 miles, then we can say that x cm equals 35 miles

1 cm ----> 86

x cm ----> 35

x * 86 = 35 * 1

x = 35 / 86

x = 0.41 cm

Therefore, they must be 0.41 cm farther or closer apart on the map scale.
