Explain why the quadratic relation y=2x^2+3x+5 would have no zeros

Complete the square to rewrite the quadratic:

2 <em>x</em>² + 3 <em>x</em> + 5 = 2 (<em>x</em>² + 3/2 <em>x</em>) + 5

... = 2 (<em>x</em>² + 3/2 <em>x</em> + 9/16 - 9/16) + 5

... = 2 (<em>x</em>² + 3/2 <em>x</em> + (3/4)²) + 5 - 9/8

... = 2 (<em>x</em> + 3/4)² + 31/8

Any real number squared becomes non-negative, so the quadratic expression has a minimum value of 31/8, which is greater than 0, and so there are no (real) <em>x</em> for which <em>y</em> = 0.

Mr. Jones asks his students to generate the next two numbers in the sequence beginning –5.5, 11, ....
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Option D Both students could be correct. Because the numbers are given in the original sequence, it is possible to find a common difference and common ratio between the successive terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence has a common ratio. Here, that ratio would be 11/-5.5 = -2 if the sequence is geometric. That ratio would mean the next two terms are ...

11 × -2 = -22

-22 × -2 = 44

__

An arithmetic sequence has a common difference. Here, that difference would be 11 -(-5.5) = 16.5 if the sequence is arithmetic. That difference would mean the next two terms are ...

11 +16.5 = 27.5

27.5 + 16.5 = 44

__

These descriptions match those offered by the students, so both could be correct.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Cost increases to $330.

The percent increase here would be:

= (New price - Old price )/ Old price

= (330 - 250) / 250

= 0.32

= 32%

Cost increases to $330 and charges $50 baggage fee

= (New price - Old price )/ Old price

= (330 + 50 - 250) / 250

= 0.52

= 52%
