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

Blanchard City's water tower is cylindrical in shape and has a height of 40 feet and a radius of 18 feet. What is the exact volu
Yakvenalex [24]

The formula for volume of a cylinder is:

Volume = PI x r^2 x h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Volume = PI x 18^2 x 40

Volume = PI x 324 x 40

Volume = PI x 12,960

The exact volume would be 12,960PI cubic ft.

The decimal answer would vary depending on what value of PI is used.
