Using the discriminant
for
f(x)=ax²+bx+c

the discriminant is b²-4ac
when it is
1. less than 0, there are no real roots
2. equal to 0, then there is 1 real root
3. more than 0, 2 real roots



given
f(x)=1x²+8x-2
a=1
b=8
c=-2
discriminat
8²-4(1)(-2)
64+8
this is greater than 0
2 real roots

First find the determinant, Δ = b^2 - 4ac 
<span>a = 1, b = 8 , c = -2 </span>
<span>Δ = 8^2 - 4*1*-2 </span>
<span>Δ = 64 + 8 </span>
<span>Δ = 72 > 0 </span>
<span>therefore there are two real roots!</span>

If the xy-plane, the graph of y=x^2 and the circle with center (0,1) and radious 3 have how many points of intersection?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
<span>The answer to this question is c, two. The top arc of the circle intersects the y=x^2 as each 'limb' extends into infinity. The part of the circle below the x-axis does not intersect the circle. The y=x^2 curve does not dip below the x-axis, but does extend into infinity on both the negative x-axis and positive x-axis.</span>

A taxi service charges a flat fee of $1.25 and $0.75 per mile. If Henry has $14.00, which of the following shows the number of m
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The total cost of the taxi service is the flat free and the total amount that is based on the distance. Let x be this distance. The equation that would best represent the situation is,

                                             1.25 + 0.75x = 14

Solving for x gives the answer of 17. Thus, Henri can afford to travel 17 miles.
