Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the polynomial function is; (x - i)(x-2)(x+2)
A. 9 3/4 hours
b. i’m not too sure :)
Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac, where a, b and c come from the form of the quadratic equation as ax^2 + bx + c
Discriminant = (4)^2 - 4(1)(5)
= 16 - 20
= -4
-4 < 0, therefor there are no roots
(If the discriminant = 0, then there is one root
If the discriminant > 0, there are two roots, and if it is a perfect square (eg. 4, 9, 16, etc.) then there are two rational roots
If the discriminant < 0, there are no roots)
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 26
y = x + 3
Plug in the equation for y
3x + 2(x + 3) = 26
Multiply the 2 with what is in the parantheses
3x + 2x + 6 = 26
Combine like terms and solve for x
5x + 6 = 26
5x = 20
x = 4
