Start by adding 2 to both sides to get 3r^2 = 48. then divide both sides by 3 to get r^2 = 16. square root both sides to get r = 4.
The discriminant explains how many solutions the quadratic function has. It is found using this formula:

Using the formula, there are three rules. Let's say the discriminant=d:
d<0 - No solution ø
d=0 -ONLY 1 solution
d>0 -2 solutions
In the following graph, there are no solutions as the graph does not hit the x-axis at any point.
Thereafter, the discriminant MUST be less than zero. Let's view the options check which one agrees with our answer.
A - Discriminant is greater than 0, which means two solutions. This is WRONG.
B - Discriminant is less than 0, which means no solutions. CORRECT!C- Discriminant is equal to 0, which means one solution. WRONG!
Your answer is B.
Answer:
q: quarters, 2q, 2q + 22, & 3(2q+22)
Step-by-step explanation:
A: The variable “q” will be the number of quarters
B:
2q will be the numbers of dimes
2q+22 will be the numbers of nickels
3(2q + 22) will be th number of pennies
Common ratio, r = (-125)/625 = -0.2
First term, a = 625
7 term
= ar^6
= 625(-0.2)^6
= -0.04
Answer: That would be a massive 1500% increase from 16 to 240
