Hello!

In math, there is always something called the discriminant. This is represented by the equation b^{2} -4ac, when a quadratic = ax^{2} + bx + c. The discriminant tells you what roots an equation has. A discriminant of over 0 represents 2 real roots, a discriminant of 0 = 1 real root, and a discriminant of <0 is 0 real roots (2 complex roots)

Now, substitute in the values and solve. In this equation, a = 5, b = 2, c = 1.

b^{2} -4ac

2^{2} -4(5)(1)

4 - 20

-16

Therefore, the discriminant is -16. This means that the equation has no real roots, and has 2 complex roots. Therefore, your answer is D.

Hope this helps!

Find the exact volume of the cylinder.
netineya [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder can be found with the equation

<em><u>\pi{r}^{2}h</u></em>

So, plug in the values. The diameter of the circle is 10m, which means that the radius is 5m. The height of the cylinder is 13m.

V = π (5)^2 (13)

<u>V = 325π m^3</u>

Answer:

D. 325π m^3

Need brief explanation about why false is correct
anyanavicka [17]

<u>We are given the equation:</u>

(a + b)! = a! + b!

<u>Testing the given equation</u>

In order to test it, we will let: a = 2 and b = 3

So, we can rewrite the equation as:

(2+3)! = 2! + 3!

5! = 2! + 3!

<em>We know that (5! = 120) , (2! = 2) and (3! = 6):</em>

120 = 2 + 6

We can see that LHS ≠ RHS,

So, we can say that the given equation is incorrect
