If x^2+bx+16 has at least one real root, then the equation x^2+bx+16=0 has at least one solution. The discriminant of a quadratic equation is b^2-4ac and it determines the nature of the roots. If the discriminant is zero, there is exactly one distinct real root. If the discriminant is positive, there are exactly two roots. The discriminant of <span>x^2+bx+16=0 is b^2-4(1)(16). The inequality here gives the values of b where the discriminant will be positive or zero:
                                           b^2-4(1)(16) ≥ 0
                                                  </span><span>b^2-64 ≥ 0
                                             (b+8)(b-8) </span><span>≥ 0
The answer is that all possible values of b are in the interval (-inf, -8]∪[8,inf) because those are the intervals where </span>(b+8)(b-8) is positive.

Mr. Toney gets his car washed every 15 days. Mr. Brown gets his car washed every 20 days. Today, they are both getting their car
Zinaida [17]
They both get their cars washed on every 60th day.


You can solve this equation by finding the lcm (least common multiple):

15 30 45 60 75 90 105

20 40 60 80 100

The lowest common multiple is 60 as it is the first multiple the two have in common.

So, in sixty days, they’ll both get their car washed again

if f is a differentiable function and f(0)=-1 and f(4)-3 then which of the following must be true there exists a c in [0,4] wher
iragen [17]

Answer:

True, see proof below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember two theorems about continuity:

  1. If f is differentiable at the point p, then f is continuous at p. This also applies to intervals instead of points.
  2. (Bolzano) If f is continuous in an interval [a,b] and there exists x,y∈[a,b] such that f(x)<0<f(y), then there exists some c∈[a,b] such that f(c)=0.

If f is differentiable in [0,4], then f is continuous in [0,4] (by 1). Now, f(0)=-1<0 and f(4)=3>0. Thus, we have the inequality f(0)<0<f(4). By Bolzano's theorem, there exists some c∈[0,4] such that f(c)=0.

Is the question how much was the banker Bob's last paycheck a statistical question?
SVEN [57.7K]
The question is actually a financial banking question if it is about his check and how much it was worth statistics would be a couple of other things into a group and ranked. Financial is money.
