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.

Their selling price was 2.45 times the price they bought it. If they split the profit evenly and there was two of them, multiply their profit by two and divide that number by 800 to find how much more they sold it for, so they sold it for 245% more than they bought it

A college bookstore charges $60 for a yearly membership. The first book is free with membership and any book after that costs $7

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The equation representing Total money spend being as a member is $m = 60+7.6(b-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Memberships charges = $60

Cost of 1 book = $7.60

Let number of books be 'b'.

We need to find Total money 'm' spend yearly on buying books after becoming member.

Now we know that 1 book is free for a member.

Total money spend 'm' will be equal to Sum Memberships charges and Cost of 1 book multiplied by number of books bought yearly minus 1.

Framing in equation form we get;

$m = 60+7.6(b-1)$

Hence The equation representing Total money spend being as a member is $m = 60+7.6(b-1)$
