The discriminant can be found using the formula b^2-4ac
First put your equation in standard form, where all your values are on one side, and just add f(x) or y in front of your equation.
y= 8p^2-8p+2
The first value of your equation is a (a=8)
The second term of your equation is b (b=-8)
The last term of your equation is c (c=2)
Plug in the values to the discriminant equation b^2-4ac
Let the speed of the joker initially be x mi/hr
after reduction, the new speed will be: (x-1) mi/hr
but
time=(distance)/(speed)
hence :
Total time taken will be:
4/x+5/(x+1)=41/20
solving for x we get:
x=21.585 mi/hr
thus the initial speed was 21.585 mi/hr after reduction the new speed was 20.585 mi/hr
Answer:
C) y > 0
Step-by-step explanation:
I graphed it
1. -3x + -6
2. -3x + 9
3. 2x - 6
4. -2x + 6
here u go
To get the answer you have to add 29.4 and 13.9 and you get 43.3
It is A
