Use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of the following equation. y^2 - 5y - 3 = 0

1 answer:

6 0

Here a=1, b= -5 and c= -3

so the discrim. is b^2 - 4(a)(c), or (-5)^2 - 4(1)(-3) = 25 + 12 = 37.

Because the discrim. is +, you'll have 2 real, unequal roots.

QveST [7]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>m = 20</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>a = 48</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>These are the answers.</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. m/-8 = -2.5

*-8 = *-8

m = -2.5*-8

m = 2.5*8

2. 7/8a = 42

*8 *8

7a = 336

/7 /7

a = 336/7

deff fn [24]

The distance between the police station and the fire station is x.
The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station, so it is 2x-3. This distance is equal to 5 miles.

$2x-3=5 \\
2x=5+3 \\
2x=8 \\
x=\frac{8}{2} \\
x=4$

The police station and the fire station are 4 miles aparat.
