How many real solutions does a quadratic equation have if its discriminant is negative?

Mathematics

1 answer:

kvasek [131]2 years ago

3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discriminant is given by

$D = b^{2} -4ac$

If it is negative then in quadratic formula the square root part becomes negative which makes the solution complex.

so there cannot be any real solution if the Discriminant is negative or less than 0 ,

The correct option for the given question is

The sum of the lengths of two opposite sides of the circumscribed quadrilateral is 12 cm, the length of a radius of the circle i

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

60cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that is a circumscribing quadrilateral, rather than one that is circumscribed. It is also called a "tangential quadrilateral" and its area is ...

K = sr

where s is the semi-perimeter, the sum of opposite sides, and r is the radius of the incircle.

K = (12 cm) (5cm) = 60 cm²

_____

A quadrilateral can only be tangential if pairs of opposite sides add to the same length. Hence the given sum is the semiperimeter.

Suppose a parabola has an axis of symmetry at x = -8 , a maximum height of 2, and passes through the point (-7, -1). Write the e

lidiya [134]

As it has a maximum value the coefficient of x^2 will be negative

The vertex will be at (-8,2) so in vertex form it is

y = a(x + 8)^2 + 2
and as it passes through (-7,-1) we have:

-1 = a(-7+8)^2 + 2

-1 = a + 2 so a = -3

answer is y = -3(x + 8)^2 + 2

in standard form this is y = -3x^2 -48x - 190
