Answer:

Every value of b>4.47 and b<-4.47 will cause the quadratic equation x^2+bx+5=0 to have two real number solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the quadratic function x^2+bx+5=0, and we have to find the value of b.

A <em>quadratic function</em> is ax^2+bx+c=0, a\neq 0, a quadratic function usually has two real solutions. You can find that solutions using Bhaskara's Formula:

x_1=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4.a.c} }{2.a}

x_2=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4.a.c} }{2.a}

x_1 and x_2 are real solutions of the quadratic equation if and only if:

b^2-4.a.c >0

If b^2-4.a.c the quadratic equation doesn't have real solutions.

If  b^2-4.a.c =0  the quadratic equation has only one solution.

Then in this case to have two real number solutions: b^2-4.a.c >0

We have x^2+bx+5=0, where a=1, b, c=5

Then,

b^2-4.a.c >0\\b^2-4.1.5>0\\b^2-20>0

Adding 20 in both sides of the equation:

b^2-20>0\\b^2-20+20>20\\b^2>20\\b>\sqrt{20}

Which is the same as: b

Then, b>\sqrt{20}\\b>4.47\\b

Then every value of b>4.47 and b<-4.47 will cause the quadratic equation x^2+bx+5=0 to have two real number solution.

For example b=-5 or b=5.

If you replace with b=-5 in b^2-4.a.c >0

b^2-4.a.c >0\\(-5)^2-4.1.5>0\\25-20>0\\5>0

Then the quadratic function has two real number solutions.

To have 2 real number solutions  the discriminant b^2 - 4ac  must be greater than zero.

so the condition  for 2 real roots in this equation is:-

b^2 - 4*1*5 > 0
b^2 >  20

b > sqrt 20    ( positive root)    Answer

Answers and Step-by-step explanations:

Let's look at the first row:

cost = _______ + _______ * (monthly payment)

The first blank should be the "down payment" because this is the initial, constant value that is paid. The second blank should be the "number of months" because this way, when multiplied by the actual amount each payment is (monthly payment), then we get the total amount paid during those months.

So, we have:

cost = (down payment) + (number of months) * (monthly payment)

Now for the second row, we just plug in numbers and variables:

335 = 50 + 6 * p

Finally, we can solve for p:

335  = 50 + 6p

6p = 285

p = $47.50
