PLEASE HELP!!!! Explain why a quadratic equation with a positive discriminant has two real solutions, a quadratic equation with

a negative discriminant has no real solution, and a quadratic equation with a discriminant of zero has one real solution.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

In the quadratic formula, the discriminant is square rooted. In this formula you have a ± before this radical. If the discriminant is positive, the solution can be either subtracting or adding the number, so there are 2 real solutions.

If it is 0, subtracting or adding are the same, so there will be just one solution.

You cannot have a negative square root. It is impossible with real numbers, so there are no real solutions.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D

Can some help me with this question
Luden [163]

To find the equation of this line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is its slope and b is its y-intercept), we naturally need the slope and the y-intercept. We can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 4) so our y-intercept is 4, and the line rises 4 along the y-axis for every 2 it runs along the x-axis, so its slope is 4/2 = 2. With this in mind, we can write the line's equation as

y = 2x + 4

Which phrase describes a nonlinear function?
Lorico [155]
The only non-linear equation from your choices is the area of a circle as it is:

A=πr^2  and if you take the derivative of A you have:

dA/dr=2πr

So the rate of change changes as r changes, it is not constant thus the function has acceleration, so velocity changes.

This is in contrast to any linear equation which is of the form:

y=mx+b  now taking the derivative you see that:

dy/dx=m, now m is a constant value, which means that there is no acceleration and the velocity remains constant.
