I got the answer Antonio had a head start of 3 meters.
Simplify both sides of the equation
-4.8=1.2s+2s+4
Combine like terms
-4.8=(1.2s+2s)+(4)
-4.8=3.2s+4
Flip the equation
3.2s+4=-4.8
Subtract both sides by 4
3.2s+4-4=-4.8-4
3.2s=-8.8
Divide both sides by 3.2
3.2s/3.2= -8.8/3.2
S=-2.75 will be the answer hope it helps
The standard form of a quadratic equation is ,
ax² + bx + c = 0.
And the formula to find the discriminant is b² - 4ac.
Here the first step is to change the given equation into standard form. So, add 1 to each sides of the equation. Therefore,
2x² – 9x + 2+1 = –1 + 1
2x² – 9x + 3 = 0
Next step is to compare the given equation with this equation to get the value of a, b and c.
After comparing the equations we will get a = 2, b = -9 and c = 3.
So, discriminant = b²- 4ac
=( -9)²-4 (2)(3)
= 81 - 24
= 57
So, discriminant of the given equation is 57.
57 is greater than 0 and square root of 57 will result real number.
So, the correct choice is C: The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots.
1.111.... so just right 1.2
