What's the Discriminant of X^2-2X-15 ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nesterboy [21]3 years ago
3 0
The discriminant is the  secion inside the double parenthasees [()] below in the quadratic formulat which is
x=\frac{-b+ \sqrt{[(b^{2}-4ac)]} }{2a}

the determinant determines or tells whether the answer is real or imaginary
if it is negative, then it is imaginary, if positive, then it is real
 so basically the discriminmant is b^{2}-4ac

so ax^2+bx+c
a=x^2-2x-15

a=1
b=-2
c=-15

subsitute
-2^{2}-4(1)(-15)=4-4(1)(-15)=4+60=64
the discriminant is (-2^{2}-4(1)(-15)) or 64

what is the slope of the line through (1,0)(1,0)left parenthesis, 1, comma, 0, right parenthesis and (3,8)(3,8)
77julia77 [94]

The slope of the line passing through (1 , 0) and (3 , 8) is 4.

Slope, commonly represented by the letter m, is a value that describes the steepness and direction of a line. The slope of a line is also called its gradient or rate of change.

It is the vertical change in y divided by the horizontal change in x, sometimes called rise over run. The slope formula uses two points, (x_{1}, y_{1} ) and (x_{2}, y_{2} ), to calculate the change in y over the change in x.

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1} }     where

x_{1} = 1

y_{1} = 0

x_{2} = 3

y_{2} = 8

Substituting the values,

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1} } =\frac{8-0}{3-1} =\frac{8}{2}=4

Hence, he slope of the line passing through (1 , 0) and (3 , 8) is 4.
