To use the discriminant, first identify a, b, and c. In your equation a= 3 b = -5 and c = 4. Now plug into the discriminant b^2 - 4ac. Substituting yields (-5)^2 - 4(3)(4). Simplifying, 25 - 48 = -23. Since the discriminant has a negative value, there is no real solution to this equation.
Answer:
f(1) = 8
Common ratio: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.
In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.
f(1) = 8
To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.
We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.
I choose to divide the second term by the first term:
4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 divides by 4/1 = 1/10
X=1/10
Answer:
MAKE MY ANSWER BRILLINEST PLEASE:)
Step-by-step explanation:
LET:
j = the points that Jessica scored
t = the points that Tina scored
Jessica scored 147 more points than Tina:
j = t + 1497
Together, Bradley and Harner scored 1601 points:
j + t = 1601
by solving the system of equations:
j = t + 147
j + t = 1601
we find
j = 856 points
t = 707 points
Jessica Bradley scored 856 point.
Tina Harner scored 707 points.
