Let d = discriminant

d = b^2 - 4ac

Let a = 2, b = 4 and c = -9

We now plug and chug.

d = (4)^2 - 4(2)(-9)

d = 16 - 8(-9)

d = 16 + 72

d = 88

Answer:

А. 88

Step-by-step explanation:

2х^2 + 4x - 9

This is in the form

ax^2 +bx +c

where a=2 b=4 and c=-9

The discriminant is

b^2 -4ac

Substituting into the equation

4^2 -4(2) (-9)

16 - (-72)

16+72

88

Rates like $ per channel is a slope, "m". The added fee is a constant so it's the intercept "b".
y = mx + b

So for the first problem (9)
(a)
y = total cost in dollars
x = number of premium channels
y = 16x + 44
(b) when x = 3 channels
y = 16(3) + 44
y = 92 $

the second problem (10)
(a) every 4 years the tree grows by 12-9=3 ft
So the unit rate or slope will be 3 ft per 4 yrs, (3/4). You can see this also by solving for slope "m" using the given points (4,9) and (8,12).

x = number of years
y = height of tree in ft
y = (3/4)x + b
use one of the points to find the y-intercept "b".

9 = (3/4)(4) + b
9 = 3 + b
9 - 3 = b
6 = b
y = (3/4)x + 6

(b) when x = 16
y = (3/4)(16) + 6
y = 12 + 6
y = 18 ft

marta [7]

Answer:

At 10:30 A.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

A college offers shuttle service from Dickson Hall or Lot B to its  campus quad.

At 9:10 A.M the first shuttle leaves from their locations for the campus.

If the shuttles leave from Lot B every 10 minutes and leave from Dickson Hall every 12 minutes, then both the shuttles will leave their origin at the same time after 60 minutes.

This is because 60 is the smallest multiple of 10 and 12 which is common for them.

Therefore, 10:30 A.M. is the next time when both shuttles will depart for the campus at the same time. (Answer)
