S=2c AND s-16=c+16
Use substitution so...
2c-16=c+16
C=32
S=2c so s=64

Check: s-16=c+16...64-16=32+16...48=48

So Cassandra is 32 and Seymour’s is 64

Answer:

The pairs of integer having two real solution for $ax^{2} -6x+c = 0$ are

$a = -4, c = 5$
$a = 1, c = 6$
$a = 2, c = 3$
$a = 3, c = 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$ax^{2} -6x+c = 0$

Now we will solve the equation by putting all the 6 pairs so we get the following

$-3x^{2} -6x-5 = 0$ for $a = -3 , c=-5$

$-4x^{2} -6x+5 = 0$ for $a = -4 , c=5$

$1x^{2} -6x+6 = 0$ for $a = 1 , c=6$

$2x^{2} -6x+3 = 0$ for $a = 2 , c=3$

$3x^{2} -6x+3 = 0$ for $a = 3 , c=3$

$5x^{2} -6x+4 = 0$ for $a = 5 , c=4$

The above all are Quadratic equations inn general form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

where we have a,b and c constant values

So for a real Solution we must have

$Disciminant , b^{2} -4\timesa\timesc \geq 0$

for $a = -3 , c=-5$ we have

$Discriminant =-24$ which is less than 0 ∴ not a real solution.

for $a = -4 , c=5$ we have

$Discriminant = 116$ which is greater than 0 ∴ a real solution.

for $a = 1 , c=6$ we have

$Discriminant =12$ which is greater than 0 ∴ a real solution.

for $a = 2 , c=3$ we have

$Discriminant =12$ which is greater than 0 ∴ a real solution.

for $a = 3 , c=3$ we have

$Discriminant =0$ which is equal to 0 ∴ a real solution.

for $a = 5 , c=4$ we have

$Discriminant =-44$ which is less than 0 ∴ not a real solution.

Is 8/6 greater than or less than 11/12

Zanzabum

$\frac{8}{6}\ \ \ \ and\ \ \ \ \frac{11}{12}\ \ \ \ \ | make\ a\ common\ denominator\ 12\\\\
\frac{16}{12}\ \ \ and\ \ \ \ \frac{11}{12}\\\\
Now\ it\ is\ visible\ that\ \frac{16}{12} \ >\ \frac{11}{12}\ so\ \frac{8}{6} \ >\ \frac{11}{12}\

Scrat [10]

<em>if 5 is to be rounded off, then the rule is, if the next significant digit is equal or greater than 5 it adds up, other wise not..</em>
<em>In this case the next significant digit is 0 which is less than 5 so it will not be added up.</em>
