Cos(42)=x/17000
X=17000*cos(42)
X=17000*0.743
X==12,631

What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 2?

Elis [28]

The formula to find the discriminant equals D = b^2-4ac.
(Quadratic equations have the formula ax^2+bx+c. A = -1, B = +4, C = -2.)

D = 4^2-4(-1)(-2). 8-8 = 0.

0 = 1 solution
-D = 0 solutions
+D = 2 solutions

The discriminant equals 0, also establishing that if you were asked to find the solutions, there would only be one.

Given that R is between S and T, find the measure of TS RS=6 TR=4.5 TS=?

Ber [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{TS = 10.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Given that:</em></u>

R is a point lying on line TS

So,

TS = TR + RS

Where TR = 4.5 and RS = 6

=> TS = 4.5 + 6

=> TS = 10.5

Which expression is equivalent to (3m)(4m)2?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

$48m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>We use the rule $(ab)^n=a^n*b^n$ to first simplify this:</em>

$(3m)(4m)^2\\=(3m)((4)^{2}*(m)^{2})\\=(3m)(16m^2)\\=(3*16)*(m)(m^2)$

<em>Now we use the rule $a^x*a^y=a^{x+y}$ we simplify further and find the answer:</em>

$(3*16)*(m)(m^2)\\=48m^{1+2}\\=48m^3$

The third answer choice is right.

Answer is k=ba because multiply b on both sides to get rid of it as a denominator.
