The discrimination value of b^2-4ac corresponds to the general equation of Ax+Bx+C=0 So for your equation x^2-4x+5=0 b=-4 so b^2=(-4)^2=16 a=1c=5 So we have (-4)^2-4(1)(5)= 16-20=-4 is the discriminant value. The number of real solutions are determined by the discriminant.b^2-4ac>0 = 2 real solutions b^2-4ac=0 = 1 real solutionb^2-4ac<0 = no real solutions. This is the category your equation false into so there are no REAL solutions. You will learn to solve these in calculus. 
The number of real solutions are the number of values that satisfy the equation for x. Otherwise the values that x can be to hold the equation to be true. 

The answer is B in case you don't want to read the lengthy explanation. Hope this helps. :)

Answer:

Lin likes Sunnyside High School

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) is a measure of how dispersed the values are, in this case the score of the teams. So, Sunnyside High School, with a low MAD, scores nearly the same amount of points in every game.

What value of B makes the expression. x² + Bx + 81 a perfect square trinomial?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

B.) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the correct b value we use this formula

b² - 4ac = 0

b = What we are solving for

a = 1

c = 81

b² - 4(1)(81) = 0

b² - 324 = 0

b² = 324

b = \sqrt{324}

b = ±18

And 18 is one of the answer choices

So B.) 18 is the correct answer.
