What is the discriminant of the polynomial below 2x^2+5x-8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mademuasel [1]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

89 2 irrational roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant Is b²-4ac when the equation is in the form

ax²+bx+c so in the equation

a=2 b=5 and c=-8

plug into the equation for the discriminant

so 5²-4(2)(-8)

25-(-64) 2 negatives make a positive so

25+64=89

since 89 isn’t a perfect square 2 irrational roots

What is the volume of a cylinder with a base radius of 2 and height of 6 ?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

V = 24pi

or 75.36 ( using 3.14 for pi)

or 75.39822369 ( using the pi button)

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h

We know the radius and the height

V = pi (2)^2 * 6

V = pi 4*6

V = 24 pi

If we approximate pi by 3.14

V = 3.14 * 24 = 75.36

If we use the pi button

V =75.39822369

Determine if AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Given: A (−1, 3), B (0, 5), C (2, 1), D (6, −1)
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if AB and CD are  parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we need to get the slope of AB and CD first

Given A (−1, 3), B (0, 5),

Slope Mab = 5-3/0-(-1)

Mab = 2/1

Mab = 2

Slope of AB is 2

Given C (2, 1), D (6, −1)

Slope Mcd = -1-1/6-2

Mcd = -2/4

Mcd = -1/2

Slope of CD is -1/2

Take their product

Mab * Mcd = 2 * -1/2

Mab * Mcd = -1

Since the product of their slope is -1, hence AB and CD are perpendicular
