You can use the _______ of a quadratic equation to determine the number and type of solutions

Mathematics

1 answer:

Answer: Discriminant.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The quadratic formula is:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

2. And the discriminant is inside the square root:

$b^{2}-4ac$

2. Then, if the discriminant is negative, the quadratic equation does not have real solutions, it has two imaginary solutions. If the discriminant is zero the quadratic has one solution. If the discriminant is positive, the quadratic equation has two distinct solutions.

ASAP HELP HELP NEED HELP FAILING

For the first question, you will write a ratio of 1/2 oz:10 pounds. Please see the attached picture. There are 9 groups of 10 oz in 90 oz, so you will need 9 groups of the amount of medicine too!

For the second question, you need to understand that the exponent (2^3) must be evaluated first because all forms of multiplication/ groupings comes first before adding or subtracting.
Exponents are a way of showing repeated multiplication, so it is done first.

Name the line and plane shown in the diagram. A.AB and plane ABD B.BA and plane DC C.AC and plane ABD D.AB and plane DA

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: The line is AB and the plane is ABD, the first option is the correct one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, first some definitions.

A line is any line that crosses two colinear points. Particularly, you can see in the graph that the line crosses through A and B, so the line is AB.

A plane needs 3 non-colinear points (if the points where colinear, then the points may define a line). Other definition of plane is "a line and a point that is not in the line"

So, if our line is AB, then the possible planes are:

ABC and ABD.

then the correct option is:

Line AB and plane ABD, so the correct option is the first one.

Plz someone help me on this too plz plz

1. 7 and -7 are both 7 units away from 0. They are 14 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 7+(-7) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 7+7=14 to be able to count the units between the two.

2. 5 and -5 are both 5 units away from 0. They are 10 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 5+(-5) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 5+5=10 to be able to count the units between the two.

3. 2 and -2 are both 2 units away from 0. They are 4 units away from each other. Absolute value helps because rather than 2+(-2) being 0 absolute value makes anything positive so it becomes 2+2=4 to be able to count the units between the two.

Hope that helps

suppose that a number written as a decimal has an infinite number of non- repeating digits after the decimal point. What is this

faltersainse [42]

Answer: Irrational number

If the decimal digits repeat forever, then the repeating decimal is considered rational.

For instance, 2/99 = 0.020202020202... where the "02" repeats forever

If we don't have such a pattern, then we cannot write the decimal as a fraction of two integers and the number is not rational. So it is irrational.
