Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A discriminate of -8 is never going to give you a real root. D is wrong

You cannot have just 1 complex root, nor can you have just 1 real root unless the discriminate is 0. A and C are both wrong for the same reason. 1 complex root is impossible. They come in pairs.

So the answer is B. You have 2 complex roots.

1,900 + 76x. Use the Distributive Property to factor the expression.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 76 feet and the width of the rectangle was 25 feet that is extended by x feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total area, in square feet, of a rectangular stage that has been widened by x feet, is represented by 1,900 + 76x.
Now, factorizing the expression for the area we get,
A = 1900 + 76x
⇒ A = 76(25 + x)
Therefore, from the above expression, we can assume that the length of the rectangle is 76 feet and the width of the rectangle was 25 feet that is extended by x feet. (Answer)

(Variables on both sides of an equation)

kompoz [17]

Start by expanding the left side of the equation: -2(4x-7) is equal to -8x + 14.

This brings you to -8x+14 = -8x + 14.

Now add 8x to both sides. This brings you to 14 = 14

Now subtract 14 from both sides. This brings you to 0 = 0.

Thus your answer is 0 = 0, which is a true statement.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

-7/2 or -3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the equation first

7x-1 = 5x-8

7 = -2x

-7/2 = x

Hey how do you get from standard form to vertex form?

vlabodo [156]

Explanation:

Conversion of a quadratic equation from standard form to vertex form is done by completing the square method.

Assume the quadratic equation to be $\mathbf{ax^{2}+bx+c=0}$ where x is the variable.

Completing the square method is as follows:

send the constant term to other side of equal $\mathbf{ax^{2}+bx=-c}$
divide the whole equation be coefficient of $\mathbf{x^{2}}$ , this will give $\mathbf{x^{2}+\frac{b}{a}x=- \frac{c}{a}}$
add $\mathbf{(\frac{b}{2a})^{2}}$ to both side of equality $\mathbf{x^{2}+2\times\frac{b}{2a}x+\frac{b}{2a}^{2}=-\frac{c}{a}+\frac{b}{2a}^{2}}$
Make one fraction on the right side and compress the expression on the left side $\mathbf{(x+\frac{b}{2a})^{2}=\frac{b^{2}-4ac}{4a^{2}}}$
rearrange the terms will give the vertex form of standard quadratic equation $\mathbf{a(x+\frac{b}{2a})^{2}-\frac{b^{2}-4ac}{4a}=0}$

Follow the above procedure will give the vertex form.

(NOTE : you must know that $\mathbf{(x+a)^{2}=x^{2}+2ax+a^{2}}$ . Use this equation in transforming the equation from step 3 to step 4)
