For one and only 1 real solution, the discriminant = 0 (see chart attached) 
<span>So we know b^2-4ac=0 when the equation is in the format of ax^2+bx-c=0. Make sure your equation is in the right format first!</span>

<span>Given kx^2+12x-4=0 </span>
<span>b=12 </span>
<span>so b^2-4ac=0 </span>
<span>144 = 4ac </span>
<span>144 = 4(k)(-4) </span>
<span>144/(-16) = k </span>
<span>k = -9</span>

Answer:

X-19

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to distribute the three into the numbers in the parenthesis,

(3 * x) + (3  * -5) - (2x + 4)

That then turns into,

3x - 15 - (2x + 4)

but we aren't done distributing yet, because the second set of parenthesis has a negative sign in front of it we also have to distribute that. (this is because the negative sign is really just -1)

3x - 15 + (-1 * 2x) + (-1 * 4)

that turns into,

3x - 15 - 2x -4

from here all we have to do is add like terms,

(3x - 2x) + (-15 + -4)

and that leaves us with: 1x -19 or x-19

Hope that helped :))

Explain the relationship between multiplying and diving by 10, 100, and 1,000 and moving the decimal point to the right or to th
zhannawk [14.2K]
If you're multiplying by 10, you're moving the decimal point to the right, the same with any multiplication in the 10's, so 100, 1,000, etc. This is because you are making the number 10 times larger, so if you had 3.4, the 4 is in the 1/10 column so multiplying by 10 would put it in the units column, making the number 34.

On the other hand, dividing by the 10's makes the decimal point move to the left because you are making the number 10 times smaller, so if the units column is worth 1, then 10 times less than that is 1/10, which is the first decimal place.

I hope this helps! I tried to explain it well but let me know if you still don't understand or if I've confused you in any way :)

a contractor charges $1200 for 100 square feet of roofing installed. at this rate, how much does it cost to have 1100 square fee
Ratling [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

If it cost $1200 to install 100 square feet of roofing, then it will cost $13200 to have 1100 square feet installed.

$1200/ 100 square feet         multiply 11 on both sides

$13200/ 1100 square feet
