Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Discussion:

By the distance formula (or Pythagorean theorem)

distance = sqrt ( (change in x)^2 + (change in y)^2)

In our case this becomes

distance = sqrt ( (18 - (-9) )^2 + (-12 - ( -12))^2)

= sqrt ( ( 18 + 9) ^2 + ( -12 + 12) ^ 2)

= sqrt ( ( 18 + 9) ^2 + 0^2 )

= sqrt ( 27^2)

= 27

Geometrically, as both y coordinates = -12, the points define a horizontal line segment. The length is then simply the difference of the x coordinates, 18 - (-9) = 18 +9 = 27. Same answer as before

Thank you,

MrB

Which of the following equations have complex roots?

mestny [16]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex roots of quadratic functions occur when the discriminant is negative.

Discriminant

$b^2-4ac\quad\textsf{when}\:\:ax^2+bx+c=0$

Evaluate the discriminant of each of the given equations.

$\textsf{A.} \quad 3x^2+2=0$

$\implies a=3, \quad b=0, \quad c=2$

$\implies b^2-4ac=0^2-4(3)(2)=-24$

As -24 < 0 the equation will have complex roots.

$\textsf{B.} \quad 2x^2+1=7x$

$\implies 2x^2-7x+1=0$

$\implies a=2, \quad b=-7, \quad c=1$

$\implies b^2-4ac= (-7)^2-4(2)(1)=41$

As 41 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

$\textsf{C.} \quad 3x^2-1=6x$

$\implies 3x^2-6x-1=0$

$\implies a=3, \quad b=-6, \quad c=-1$

$\implies b^2-4ac=(-6)^2-4(3)(-1)=48$

As 48 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

$\textsf{D.} \quad 2x^2-1=5x$

$\implies 2x^2-5x-1=0$

$\implies a=2, \quad b=-5, \quad c=-1$

$\implies b^2-4ac=(-5)^2-4(2)(-1)=33$

As 33 > 0 the equation does not have complex roots.

The floor of the cage measures 11 yardyard wide by 66 feetfeet long. One bag of shavings covers 55 square feetfeet. How many bag

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

3 3/5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the surface area of the floor of the cage first.

The cage measures 1 yard wide by 6 feet long.

1 yard = 3 feet

The floor of the cage is rectangular, so, the surface area of the floor of the cage is therefore:

3 * 6 = 18 square feet

One bag of shavings covers 5 square feet.

To find the number of bags we need to cover the floor, we divide the surface area of the floor by the number of bags per square feet.

The number of bags needed for the floor of the cage is therefore :

18 / 5 = 3 3/5 bags
