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>

What is the median of 1.5 hours 30 minutes 1 hour 15 minutes and 1.25 minutes
mrs_skeptik [129]
We have 1.5 hours 30 minutes = 120 minutes;
1 hour 15 minutes = 75 minutes;
1.25 minutes = 85 minutes;

75 < 85 < 120
The median is 85 minutes.
Finally, 1 hour 15 minutes is the median.

f(x) = square root ( x^4 -16x^2) let f be the function given by: . . a) Find the domain of f.. b) Find f '(x). c) Find the slope
Bond [772]
A ) The domain:
x^{4} -16 x^{2}  \geq 0 \\  x^{2} ( x^{2} -16) \geq 0 \\  x^{2} -16 \geq 0 \\  x^{2}  \geq 16
x ≤ -4  and x≥ 4  or:  x ∈ ( - ∞ , - 4 ) ∪ ( 4  , + ∞ )
b ) f ` ( x ) = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{ x^{4} -16 x^{2} } } *( 4 x^{3} - 32 x ) = \\ = \frac{2x( x^{2} -8)}{ \sqrt{ x^{4}-16 x^{2}  } }
c ) The slope of the line normal to the graph at x = 5
m = -1 / f `(x)
f ` ( x ) = \frac{10(25-8)}{ \sqrt{625-400} }=  \frac{10*17}{15} = \frac{34}{3}
m = - 3/34
