Answer:

For the equation x2 − 4x + 2 = 0, the discriminant is (-4)2 − 4(1)(2) = 8. Since the discriminant is positive, it has two distinct real roots.

For the equation 5x2 − 2x + 3 = 0, the discriminant is (-2)2 − 4(5)(3) = -56. Since the discriminant is negative, it has two complex roots.

For the equation 2x2 + x − 6 = 0, the discriminant is (1)2 − 4(2)(-6) = 49. Since the discriminant is positive, it has two distinct real roots.

For the equation 13x2 − 4 = 0, the discriminant is (0)2 − 4(13)(-4) = 208. Since the discriminant is positive, it has two distinct real roots.

For the equation x2 − 6x + 9 = 0, the discriminant is (-6)2 − 4(1)(9) = 0. Since the discriminant is zero, it has one repeated root.

For the equation x2 − 8x + 16 = 0, the discriminant is (-8)2 − 4(1)(16) = 0. Since the discriminant is zero, it has one repeated root.

For the equation 4x2 + 11 = 0, the discriminant is (0)2 − 4(4)(11) = -176. Since the discriminant is negative, it has two complex roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0:

\Delta=b^2-4ac

If Δ < 0, then the equation has two complex roots x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}

If Δ = 0, then the equation has one repeated root x=\dfrac{-b}{2a}[/tex If Δ > 0, then the equation has two discint roots [tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}

1.\ x^2-4x+2=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-4,\ c=2\\\\\Delta=(-4)^2-4(1)(2)=16-8=8>0,\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt8=\sqrt{4\cdot2}=2\sqrt2\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-4)\pm2\sqrt2}{2(1)}=\dfrac{4\pm2\sqrt2}{2}=2\pm\sqrt2\\\\==============================\\\\2.\ 5x^2-2x+3=0\\\\a=5,\ b=-2,\ c=3\\\\\Delta=(-2)^2-4(5)(3)=4-60=-56

3.\ 2x^2+x-6=0\\\\a=2,\ b=1,\ c=-6\\\\\Delta=1^2-4(2)(-6)=1+48=49>0,\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{49}=7\\\\x=\dfrac{-1\pm7}{(2)(2)}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-8}{4}=-2,\ x_2=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\==============================\\\\4.\ 13x^2-4=0\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\13x^2=4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\x^2=\dfrac{4}{13}\to x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{13}},\ \bold{two\ distinct\ roots}\\\\==============================

5.\ x^2-6x+16=0\\\\a=1,\ b=-6,\ c=16\\\\\Delta=(-6)^2-4(1)(16)=36-64=-28

7.\ 4x^2+11=0\qquad\text{subtract 11 from both sides}\\\\4x^2=-11\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x^2=-\dfrac{11}{4}\to x=\pm\sqrt{-\dfrac{11}{4}}\\\\x=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{2}\ i,\ \bold{two\ complex\ roots}

The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?
MAXImum [283]
Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly. I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will be teaching you how to deal with it on your own in the future.

First, let's take a look at our question, and evaluate it.

"The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?"

To clarify this problem, we are looking for the patio's width.

Let's first understand what the area of a rectangular shape is.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is "Length times Width", or "L • W".

So this is how the equation should look like:
A = L • W
We have our area, 5 5/8, and we have our length, 1 1/2.

To make things more simple, let's convert our fractions to decimals. Now, to convert our fractions to decimals, let's set our denominators (the numbers on the bottom of a fraction) equal to another fraction, with x as the numerator (the numbers on the top of a fraction) and 100 as the denominator.

So we have 1/2 and x/100. Divide 100 by 2 to find x (as 1/2 of anything is dividing by 2).
100 / 2 = 50, so 1 1/2 = 1.50 as a decimal.

Now, let's try 5/8.
1/8 = 0.125, so multiply 0.125 by 5.
0.125 • 5 = 0.625.
5 5/8 = 5.625 as a decimal.

So, now we have our equation:
A = L • W
Plug in our numbers.
5.625 = 1.50x

To isolate and solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 1.50, so let's do that.
5.625 / 1.50 = 3.75
1.50x / 1.50 = x

We are now left with:
x = 3.75

Your answer is:
The patio's width is 3.75 yards.

I hope this helps!

If 40% of the total population of a particular town of 2500 are HIV positive. How many people are HIV negative.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

1500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 40% are HIV positive (that's a lot of people), 60% will be HIV negative. All you have to do is find 60% of 2500.

60% of 2500 = 0.6 * 2500 = 6 * 250 = 1500

Hope this helps!

I'm having trouble figuring out how I could go about this. Can someone work it out then explain so that I know how to do this ne
skad [1K]

Answer:

RT-ST=QS-ST, because subtracting the same quantity from two lines that have been stated to be equal.

Therefore RS=TQ

Angle R=Angle Q, because it is an isosceles triangle

Triangle AR

S is congruent to ATQ.

AT=AS

Because TAS is isosceles, angles 5 and 6 are equal.

Therefore, angles 4 and 7 are equal, because they are supplementary angles of the same angle.

And angles 1 and 3 are equal, because the other two angles in the triangle are equal.

The triangles RAT and QAS are congruent with SAS.
