Answer:

d. The equation has one solution and there is not enough information to determine the direction of the parabola.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a general quadratic equation

y = ax² +bx +c

the solution is

x = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

The discriminant (D) is the part of the quadratic formula underneath the radical: b² - 4ac.

D tells us whether there are

  • two different real solutions
  • two identical real solutions ("one solution")
  • two complex solutions.

If D= 0,

x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}\pm0 = \mathbf{\dfrac{-b}{2a}}

and there are two identical solutions ("one solution").

The direction of the parabola depends on the sign of a.

That information is not given, so we cannot determine the direction of the parabola.

Solve the equation
denpristay [2]

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

4x2 =121

4x2-121=0

using the general formula

[-b( +/-) √b2-4ac]/2a

a=4, b= 0, c=-121

x= [0 ( +/-)√02-(4*4*-121)]/2.4

= ( +/-)√1936)/8 = ( +/-)5.5

x =5.5

x = -5.5

Felicity's dog eats two cups of dog food per day. Felicity's dog eats at least one-quarter cup more than one-half of the amount
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

2 > \frac{1}{2} m + \frac{1}{4}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Felicity's dog eats two cups of dog food per day :2

If the amount of food that Martin's dog eats is represented by using m

Felicity's dog eats at least one-quarter cup more than one-half of the amount Martin's dog eats: \frac{1}{2} m + \frac{1}{4}

So we have the inequality represents the situation is:

2 > \frac{1}{2} m + \frac{1}{4}
