These are two questions and two answers:
Question 1:
<span>A
quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe
the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show
your work.
Answer: </span><span>The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Explanation:
1) With radicand the statement means the disciminant of the quadratic function.
2) The discriminant is: b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c
3) Then, for 3x² - 15x + 20, a = 3, b = - 15, and c = 20
and the discriminant (radicand) is: (-15)² - 4(3)(20) = 225 - 240 = - 15.
4) The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Question 2:
Part B: Solve 3x^2 + 5x − 8 = 0 by using an appropriate
method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the
method used.
Answer: </span> two solutions x = 1 and x = - 8/3x
Explanation:
1) I choose factoring (you may use the quadratic formula if you prefer)
2) Factoring
Given: 3x² + 5x − 8 = 0
Make 5x = 8x - 3x: 3x² + 8x - 3x - 8 = 0
Group: (3x² - 3x) + (8x - 8) = 0
Common factors for each group: 3x(x -1) + 8(x - 1) = 0
Coomon factor x - 1: (x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0
The two solutions are for each factor equal to zero:
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = -8/3
Those are the two solutions. x = 1 and x = - 8/3
Answer: 80 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. As you can see in the figure, triangle ABC and the triangle DFG are similar.
2. The scale of factor of triangle ABC to triangle DFG is the following:

3. Therefore, the lenght of the side DG of the trinagle DFG is:

4. The perimeter of the triangle DFG is:

5. Therefore, she would need 80 feet of fence.
<h3>Given:</h3>
<h3>Note that:</h3>
- l= length
- b= breadth
- h= height
<h3>To find:</h3>
The volume of the given rectangular pyramid.
<h3>Solution:</h3>

First, multiply the length (5), breadth (4) and height (3).


Now, divide 60 by 3.


<u>Therefore, the volume of the given rectangular pyramid is 20 cubic meters.</u>
-12 and 3 add up to -9 but multiply to 36.
