What must be true of the discriminant the soulution to a quadratic equation is a set of 2 different real numbers?

1 answer:

7 0

1 The quadratic crosses the x axis in 2 different places
2 The quadratic has 2 different solutions.
3 The x value of the minimum or maximum is 1/2 way between these 2 solutions.
4 The y value of the minimum or maximum is found by substituting the x value into the original quadratic. (You can't really tell this from the discriminate, but it is an inferred property).

What is the lateral area of the cone?

ale4655 [162]

The diameter of the base of the cone is 6 units, thus the radius of it is 3 then.

$\bf \textit{lateral area of a cone}\\\\
LA=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}~~
\begin{cases}
r=3\\
h=5
\end{cases}\implies LA=\pi (3)\sqrt{3^2+5^2}
\\\\\\
LA=3\pi \sqrt{34}$

What is the greatest common factor of the polynomial below?

nasty-shy [4]

Heyy I'm not sure if I'm right

12x^4 + 2x^3 - 30x^2

to find the GCF, let's first look at the coefficients.....the GCF of 12,2,and 30 is 2.

as for the variables....pick the one with the smallest exponent...and that would be x^2

so the GCF of this polynomial is 2x^2 <=
