The standard form of a quadratic equation is ,
ax² + bx + c = 0.
And the formula to find the discriminant is b² - 4ac.
Here the first step is to change the given equation into standard form. So, add 1 to each sides of the equation. Therefore,
2x² – 9x + 2+1 = –1 + 1
2x² – 9x + 3 = 0
Next step is to compare the given equation with this equation to get the value of a, b and c.
After comparing the equations we will get a = 2, b = -9 and c = 3.
So, discriminant = b²- 4ac
=( -9)²-4 (2)(3)
= 81 - 24
= 57
So, discriminant of the given equation is 57.
57 is greater than 0 and square root of 57 will result real number.
So, the correct choice is C: The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots.
Given:
The vertices of the rectangle ABCD are A(0,1), B(2,4), C(6,0), D(4,-3).
To find:
The area of the rectangle.
Solution:
Distance formula:
Using the distance formula, we get
Similarly,
Now, the length of the rectangle is and the width of the rectangle is . So, the area of the rectangle is:
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 20 square units.
The answer to your question is c 55
