Mathematics
1 answer:
Dennis_Churaev [7]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Which number-line model represents the sum of 1.25+(-0.75)?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Solution:

<u>A few tips...</u>

  • Tip-1: If "+" and "-" are multiplied, it gives a result of "-".
  • Tip-2: If "-" and "-" are multiplied, it gives a result of "+".
  • Tip-3: If "+" and "+" are multiplied, it gives a result of "-".

<u>Changing the sign of the given equation.</u>

  • 1.25 + (-0.75)
  • => 1.25 - 0.75                                        [Sign changes according to tip-1.]

This could only mean that the arrow would go to <u>1.25 units forward.</u> Then a second arrow will be drawn to go <u>0.75 units back.</u>

The graph that matches with the above info is Option C.

Grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height. how high
bezimeni [28]

Given that grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height.

So if D is the diameter and h is the height of the conical pile then we can write:


D=3h

We know that diameter = 2r, where r is the radius

2r=3h

r=\frac{3h}{2}

Volume of conical pile is given by formula

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Given that volume is 1110 cubic feet.

Now plug the values of Volume and r into equation of volume

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{3h}{2})^2h

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot\frac{9h^2}{4}\cdot h

1110=\pi\cdot\frac{3h^3}{4}

1110\cdot\frac{4}{3\pi}=h^3

471.098631552=h^3

take cube root of both sides

7.78103342467=h

Hence height is approx 7.78 feet.
