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.

Solve this equation: 4y + 228 = 352. <br> A. y = 31<br> B. y = – 31<br> C. y = 3<br> D. y = 145
V125BC [204]
To let the variable alone you can follow these steps: 1) subtract 228 from both sides 2) divide both sides by 4. This is the solution: 1) 4y + 228 - 228 = 352 - 228 => 2) 4y = 124 => 3) (4y)/4 = 124/4 => 4) y = 31. Then, <span>the answer is the option A. y = 31. </span>

Are these correct? ILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Cos 300 = Cos (360 - 60) = Cos 60    {Cos 360 - theta = Cos theta}

                                              = 1/2

Sin 300 = Sin (360 - 60) = -Sin 60 = \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}

3) 3π/4 = 3*180/4 = 135

Cos 135 = Cos (90 + 45) = -Cos 45 = \frac{-\sqrt{2}}{2}

Sin 135 = Sin (90 + 45) = Sin 45 = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Change 2x-y=-4 into slope-intercept form with steps
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

y=2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept is y = mx+b, where m is slope and b is y intercept.

subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

-y = 4 - 2x

multiply each term in -y = 4 - 2x by -1

(-y) . -1 = 4 . -1 + (-2x) . -1

y= 4. -1 + (-2x) . -1

simplify

y= -4 + 2x

Reorder

y= 2x - 4
