The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Question (1)
x² + 10x + 12
= x² + 2(5x) + 5² - 5² + 12
= [x² + 2(5x) + 5²] - 5² + 12
= (x + 5)² - 25 + 12 [Since, a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²]
= (x + 5)² - 13
Question (2)
y² - 6y - 15
= y² - 2(3y) - 15
= y² - 2(3y) + 3² - 3² - 15
= [y² - 2(3y) + 3²] - 3² - 15 [Since, a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)²]
= (y - 3)² - 3²- 15
= (y - 3)² - 9 - 15
= (y - 3)² - 24
Answer:
$46,130,75 or $43,869.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 distribute the 5 across (8+0.2)
6^3+5(8+0.2)
6^3+40+1
6^3+41 (<em>I simplified the +40 and the +1</em>)
Step 2 take 6 to the power of 3
6^3+41
6x6x6 6x6=36 36x6=216
216+41 (<em>Simplify!</em>)
257
I hope this helped!
