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
Answer:
60%
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
the price per share of a stock decreased from $90 per share to $36 per share
In this problem
$90 represent the 100%
so
using proportion
Find out what percentage represent the difference of ($90-$36)
($90-$36)=$54
Let
x ----> the percentage of the difference
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other.
Subtract 2y from both sides
2x + 2y (-2y) = 10 (-2y)
2x = 10 - 2y
Isolate the x, divide 2 from both sides and from all terms.
(2x)/2 = (10 - 2y)/2
x = 5 - y
Place the variable in the front
x = -y + 5
x = -y + 5 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
x=5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate, rewrite, remove the paretheses
Collect the like terms
Swap sides 75=30x swap to 30x=75
Then divide both sides
Answer:
x = -3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 5x - 25 = -5x - 28
11x - 25 = -5x - 28
Add 5x to both sides.
16x - 25 = -5x + 5x - 28
16x - 25 = -28
Add 25 to both sides.
16x - 25 + 25 = -28 + 25
16x = -3
Divide both sides by 16
16/16 = 1
-3/16
x = -3/16
