Use the quadratic polynomial 12x2+5x−2 to answer the questions.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Advocard [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.

B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.

Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).

To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:

12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:

12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.

4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.

(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.

4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.

x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.

It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!

QUESTION IS DOW BELOW 5 POINTS EACH PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP PLEASE HELP

The central angle in the circle is ∠DAC,major arc is BED, minor arc is ADC and BC=(5π*BD)/18.

Given that BD is diameter of the circle and angle BAC is 100°.

We are required to find the central angle, major arc, minor arc, m BEC, BC.

Angle is basically finding out the intensity of inclination of something on the surface.

In the circle central angles are many like BAC and CAD. We can write CAD as DAC also.

Major arc of a circle is that arc whose length is larger than all other arcs in the circle.

In our circle the major arc is arc BED.

Minor arc of a circle is that arc whose length is smaller.

In our circle the minor arc is arc ADC.

We know that arc's length is 2πr(Θ/360)

In this way BC=2π*(BD/2)*100/360

=(5π*BD)/18

We cannot find angle BEC.

Hence the central angle in the circle is ∠DAC,major arc is BED, minor arc is ADC and BC=(5π*BA)/18.
