A quadratic's discriminant can either be more than zero, less than zero, or exactly zero. When the discriminant is less than zero, there are no real solutions and the graph won't cross the x-axis. When it's exactly zero, there will be a real double root and the graph is tangent to the x-axis. When it's more than zero, there will be two real solutions and two x-intercepts.

Our graph has two intercepts, so it needs a positive discriminant more than zero. Choice A's is negative - no.

Choice B's is zero - no.

Choice C's is positive -yes.

Thus, "C" is the possible discriminant for the given graph.

The total amount of spending per year, in billions, on pets in a certain country x years after 2000 is given by the following

Kamila [148]

Answer:

40.4502 billion dollars

51.3432 billion dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total amount spent in billions in pets x years after year, 2000 ;

P(x)=2.1786x + 25.2

Amount spent in 2007 ;

x = 2007 - 2000 = 7 years

Put x = 7 in the equation :

P(7)=2.1786(7) + 25.2 = 40.4502

Amount spent in 2012 :

x = 2012 - 2000 = 12 years

Put x = 12 in the equation :

P(12) = 2.1786(12) + 25.2 = 51.3432

The amount spent in billik dollars on pets in :

2007 = $404502 billion

2012 = $51.3432 billion

3 On a coordinate grid, the location of a lighthouse is at L, and the location of a buoy is at B. At noon, a ship is at the midp

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$(\frac{1}{2}, 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula, $M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$ , we can find the coordinates that represents the position of the ship at noon.
