How many solutions does f(x) = 5x2+2x–12

<h3>Answer: 2 different real number solutions </h3>

Both solutions are irrational.

===============================================

Explanation:

The given function f(x) = 5x^2+2x-12 is in the form f(x) = ax^2+bx+c

We see that

a = 5, b = 2, c = -12

Plug those values into the discriminant formula below

D = b^2 - 4ac

D = (2)^2 - 4(5)(-12)

D = 4 - 4(5)(-12)

D = 4 + 240

D = 244

Because D > 0, this means we have two different real solutions for f(x) = 0

The value of D is not a perfect square, so those two solutions or roots are irrational.

The angle of elevation from the top of a house to a jet flying 2 miles above the house is x radians. If d represents the horizon
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

d = 2cot(x) or d = 2/tan(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical distance from the jet to the top of the house represents the opposite side to the 'x' angle, while the horizontal distance, d, represents the adjacent side. Since we do not know the hypotenuse, the tangent and cotangent functions are the preferable choices:

tan (x) = \frac{2}{d}\\d = \frac{2}{tan (x) }\\cot (x) = \frac{d}{2} \\d= 2cot(x)

Therefore, the distance 'd' can be expressed as d = 2cot(x) or d = 2/tan(x).

Irina wants to build a fence around a rectangular vegetable garden so that it has a width of at least 10 feet. She can use a max
Rasek [7]

Answer:

In option a, w < 10

in option b, w = 10 and 2(20) + 2(10) = 40 + 20 = 60 < 150

in option c, w > 10 but 2(60) + 2(20) = 120 + 40 = 160 > 150

In option d, w > 10 but 2(55) + 2(30) = 110 + 60 = 170 > 150

Therefore the corect answer is option b.

DUE IN 30 MINS!!!<br> plz help T-T
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

1. Tectonic activity is responsible for some of Earth's most dramatic geologic events: earthquakes, volcanoes and deep ocean trenches can all be formed by tectonic activity in the lithosphere.

2.The lithosphere can affect the atmosphere when tectonic plates move and cause an eruption, where magma below spews up as lava above. This can also release copious amounts of volcanic ash or soot, which pollutes the atmosphere, blocks radiation and creates a cooling effect.

3. I don't know what's show on the text sorry that parts up to you good luck :)

Complete the inequality statement <br><br> 7/10 ___ 11/20 <br><br> &gt; &lt; =
densk [106]
To start, give each fraction a common denominator by multiplying the 7/10 by two to get 14/20, an equivalent but not simplified fraction. now compare 14/20 and 11/20. 14/20 is greater than 11/20, so 7/10 > 11/20.
