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.

Find the slope and y-intercept of the following equation: Y = ¾ x - ½

Alina [70]

Answers:

Slope = 3/4

y intercept = -1/2

================================================

Explanation:

The form y = mx+b is known as slope intercept form

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Comparing y = (3/4)x - 1/2 to y = mx+b, we see that

m = 3/4

b = -1/2

Find the area and perimeter of that triangle

aleksandrvk [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

$A = \frac{1}{2}(b*h)$

$A=\frac{1}{2} (14*5)$

$A=\frac{1}{2} (70)$

A = 35

$P = s+s+s$

$P=12+14+6$

P = 32
