Answer:

The total amount Alex spent is $ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount Alex spends on food = 2/3 of his paycheck

The amount Alex spends on coffee = $3

Therefore, we have;

Fraction of the paycheck spent on coffee = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 of p

The amount Alex spends on coffee = 1/3 of his paycheck

Therefore, we have;

1/3 × p = $3

p = 3 × $3 = $9

The total amount Alex spent = $ 9

The amount Alex spends on food = 2/3 × $9 = $6.

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8, which statement describes the roots?

Dovator [93]

Keywords

quadratic equation, discriminant, complex roots, real roots

we know that

The formula to calculate the roots of the quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

where

The discriminant of the quadratic equation is equal to

$b^{2}-4ac$

if $(b^{2}-4ac)> 0$ ----> the quadratic equation has two real roots

if $(b^{2}-4ac)=0$ ----> the quadratic equation has one real root

if $(b^{2}-4ac)< 0$ ----> the quadratic equation has two complex roots

in this problem we have that

the discriminant is equal to $-8$

the quadratic equation has two complex roots

therefore

the answer is the option A

There are two complex roots
