Answer:

y = 0.96(x -√5)(x + √5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The two zeros of this polynomial are (0, 0) and (5, 0), and the vertex is (2.5, -6), all of this info readily available from the graph.

The standard equation of a vertical parabola with vertex at (h, k) is

y - k = a(x - h)^2, where the vertex is represented by (h, k).  Since we know that the vertex is (2.5, -6), the equation for the given graphed parabola is

y + 6 = a(x - 2.5)^2

Since the graph of this parabola goes through the origin, (0, 0), the following must be true if we substitute 0 for both x and y:

0 + 6 = a(0 - 2.5)^2, or 6 = a(6.25).  Thus, a = 6/6.25, or a = 0.96.

The equation of this polynomial must then be:

y + 6 = 0.96(x - 2.5)^2, which is satisfied by both (0, 0) and (5, 0).

This equation can be rewritten as

y = 0.96(x^2 - 5x + 6.25) - 6 = 0.96x^2 - 4.8x + 6 - 6, or just

y = 0.96x^2 - 4.8x.  We must factor this.  Factoring out 0.96, we get:

y = 0.96(x^2 - 5), which can be factored further:  

y = 0.96(x -√5)(x + √5).  This is the fully factored form of the polynomial.

If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8, which statement describes the roots?
Dovator [93]

Keywords

quadratic equation, discriminant, complex roots, real roots

we know that

The formula to calculate the <u>roots</u> of the <u>quadratic equation</u> of the form  ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

where

The <u>discriminant</u> of the <u>quadratic equation</u>  is equal to

b^{2}-4ac

if  (b^{2}-4ac)> 0 ----> the <u>quadratic equation</u> has two <u>real roots</u>

if  (b^{2}-4ac)=0 ----> the <u>quadratic equation</u> has one <u>real root</u>

if  (b^{2}-4ac)< 0 ----> the <u>quadratic equation</u> has two <u>complex roots</u>

in this problem we have that

the <u>discriminant</u> is equal to -8

so

the <u>quadratic equation</u> has two <u>complex roots</u>

therefore

the answer is the option A

There are two complex roots

The length of a rectangular garden is 30 yards more than the width. The perimeter is 300 yards. Find the length and width
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Length is 90yards and width is 60yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter= 2( length+width)

let the width be x

then the length will be 30 + x

300 = 2(30+x+x)

150 = 30 + 2x

120= 2x

x = 120/2

x = 60 yards

length= 30+x

= 30 + 60

= 90yards
