Answer:
2 imaginary roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminate is the portion of the quadratic equation under the square root
D = b^2 - 4ac
D = 8^2 - 4(2)(16)
D = 64 - 128
D = -64
Since the discriminate is negative the square root will be imaginary
and there will be 2 of them
2 imaginary roots
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question used in answering this question :
Three-fourths of the boats in the marina are white. 4/7 of the remaining boats are blue , and the rest are red . If there are 9red boats, how many boats are in the marina?
We first have to determine the fraction of the boats that are red
1 - ( +
)
1 -
1 -
1 - 1
= 9/28
so, 9/28 of the boats are red
let b represent the total number of boats
9/28 x b = 9
to find b, divide both sides of the equation by 28/9
b = 28
