Answer: d. s ≥ 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s be the side of the square.
We know that the perimeter of a square =4s
Let f(s)=4s
If the cardboard should have a perimeter equal to at least 92 inches, the inequality would look like
Divide both sides by 4, we get
Thus, d. is the right answer. The reasonable domain of f(s) is
Hello!
In math, there is always something called the discriminant. This is represented by the equation , when a quadratic =
. The discriminant tells you what roots an equation has. A discriminant of over 0 represents 2 real roots, a discriminant of 0 = 1 real root, and a discriminant of <0 is 0 real roots (2 complex roots)
Now, substitute in the values and solve. In this equation, a = 5, b = 2, c = 1.
Therefore, the discriminant is -16. This means that the equation has no real roots, and has 2 complex roots. Therefore, your answer is D.
Hope this helps!
