For the equation:
-1=5 x^2 - 2 x
5 x^2 - 2 x + 1 = 0, then we substitute: a=5, b=-2, c =1
to discriminant formula: D= b^2 - 4 a c = (-2)^2 - 4 * 5 * 1 = 4 - 20 = - 16
Answer:
The discriminant is equal to -16 which means the equation has no real number solutions.

Do any of you know any written answers to the Probability Unit Test for 7th grade? I need a little help!

All tests across the world are different even if they're the same subject and stuff. I think it's easier for you to study, so if you have any questions about them please post them on Brainly!

The function f(x)=50⋅0.8x models the number of ants in Jonathan's ant farm after it is stricken by a deadly ant disease, where x

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the exponential growth/decay function

$y=a(b)^x$ , in our situation,

y is the number of ants remaining in the colony after the growth or decay,

a is the initial number of ants in the colony, and

b is the growth/decay rate. Rule: if b is greater than 1, the function is growth; if b is greater than 0 but less than 1, the function is decay.

Our equation looks like this (it's given):

$y=50(.8)^x$

a = 50, which is the initial number of ants in the colony.

b = .8 (which actually means that then number of ants is declining by 20% each week). Since .8 is a fraction of 1, this is decay.

So far, we know that 1 and 4 are true. Let's look at 5. We have to do some solving to find out if it's true or not. If the number of ants after x = 2 weeks is 32, then we plug in 2 for x and see if the y we get as the answer is 32:

$y=50(.8)^2$ and
