Answer:

For k = 6 or k = -6, the equation will have exactly one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

If \bigtriangleup = 0, the equation has only one solution.

In this problem, we have that:

3x^{2} + kx + 3 = 0

So

a = 3, b = k, c = 3

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

\bigtriangleup = k^{2} - 4*3*3

\bigtriangleup = k^{2} - 36

We will only have one solution if \bigtriangleup = 0. So

\bigtriangleup = 0

k^{2} - 36 = 0

k^{2} = 36

k = \pm \sqrt{36}

k = \pm 6

For k = 6 or k = -6, the equation will have exactly one solution.

Fofino [41]

Let the number of pages read on day 1 be = x

Then on day 2 he read twice the pages from day one, it is = 2x

On 3rd day he read 6 pages less than 1st day, it is = x-6

Total pages are = 458

The equation becomes: x+2x+x-6=458

4x-6=458

4x=464

x=116

So on the third day, Aiden read x-6=116-6=110 pages.

If 37.5% of the 600 shoppers stated they would buy the new flavor, how many of the 600 would buy it?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

225  lo comprarían

Step-by-step explanation:

Para sacar el porcentaje se multiplica el numero por el porcentaje y dividir entre 100

37.5x600/100

37.5x 600= 22, 500

22,500/100= 225
