Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is been considered that Discriminant is calculated by the following formula:
D = b*b - 4 * a * c
In order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by 2 and we will have the same quadratic equation:
-x^2 -4x+4=0
and as usual quadratic equation is presented as the following:
ax^2 - bx + c = 0
so in our case a = -1; b = -4; c = 4;
Then D = -4*4 -4*(-1) * 4 = -16+16 = 0
I am not quite understanding the following phrase:
"and what does it value mean about the number about the number"
but if the question was in regards of the following number '-2x^2' so number ^2 is actually the value of power so 'x' is multiplied on it is own and this equation basically means the following:
-2x^2 = -2 * (x) * (x)
Answer:
distance
Step-by-step explanation:
lets say -7 what is -7 distance from 0
so the absolute value of -7 is 7
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
C²=23
2C=0
C=2
Substitute C=2 in the first equation 2C=23
2C=23
C=11.5
Approximately C=11
1. The problem indicates that 300 pounds of oranges were purchased at $0.24 per pound, so the cost is:
300x$0.24=$72
2. A percent of 21% spoilage is expected, which means that 89% of 300 pounds of oranges left, is:
300x0.89=267 pounds of oranges
3. We want to calculate the selling price per pound of 267 pounds of oranges, so let's call this value "x":
Markup %=(Markup/cost)x100
Markup=267x-72
4. The desired markup, based on selling price, is 50%. So, when we substitute the values, we obtain:
(267x-72/72)x100=50
5. Let's clear the "x":
(26700x-7200/72)=50
26700x-7200=50x72
26700x-7200=3600
26700x=3600+7200
x=10800/26700
x=$0.40
x=40 cents
What should the selling price per pound be?
The answer is: 40 cents or $0.40
