Question:

Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0

Answer:

The number of real solutions for the equation $x^{2}+5 x+7=0$ is zero

Solution:

For a Quadratic Equation of form : $a x^{2}+b x+c=0$ ---- eqn 1

The solution is $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Now , the given Quadratic Equation is $x^{2}+5 x+7=0$ ---- eqn 2

On comparing Equation (1) and Equation(2), we get

a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 7

In $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$ , $b^2 - 4ac$ is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation

Its value determines the nature of roots

Now, here are the rules with discriminants:

1) D > 0; there are 2 real solutions in the equation

2) D = 0; there is 1 real solution in the equation

3) D < 0; there are no real solutions in the equation

Now let solve for given equation

$D= b^2 - 4ac\\\\D = 5^2 - 4(1)(7)\\\\D = 25 - 28 \\\\D = -3$

Since -3 is less than 0, this means that there are 0 real solutions in this equation.

Given the sequence, 26, 13, 6.5, ..... find a) the 10th term and b) the sum of the first 18 terms

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

a) 10th term is 0.051

b) The sum of first 18 terms of given sequence is 51.48

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the sequence 26, 13, 6.5, ..... we need to find

a) 10th term

b) Sum of first 18 terms

Before solving we need to determine if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric

The sequence is arithmetic if common difference d is same.

The sequence is geometric if common ratio r is same.

Finding common difference d: 13-26 = -13, 6.5-13= -6.5

As common difference is not same so, the sequence is not arithmetic.

Finding common ratio r : 13/26 =0.5, 6.5/13= 0.5

As common ratio is same so, the sequence is geometric.

a) Finding common difference: 13-26 = -13, 6.5-13= -6.5

As common difference is not same so, the sequence is not arithmetic.

a) 10th term

The formula to find 10th term is: $a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

We have a₁=26 and r = 0.5 n=10

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}\\a_{10}=26(0.5)^{10-1}\\a_{10}=26(0.5)^{9}\\a_{10}=0.051$

So, 10th term is 0.051

b) Sum of first 18 terms

The formula to find sum of geometric series is: $S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$

where a= 1st term, r = common ratio and n= number of terms

In the given sequence we have

a=26, r=0.5 and n=18

Finding sum of first 18 terms

$S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\S_{18}=\frac{26(1-(0.5)^{18}}{1-0.5}\\S_{18}=\frac{26(0.99)}{0.5}\\S_{18}=\frac{25.74}{0.5}\\S_{18}=51.48$

So, sum of first 18 terms of given sequence is 51.48
