Answer:

C. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

When the numbers with same base are multiplied, their powers add up

5^-5/2 * 5^9/2

5^(-5/2 + 9/2)

5^(4/2)

5^2

25

When you multiply a base with an exponent by a base with an exponent, you add the exponents together. (But you can only combine the exponents when the bases are the same)

For example:

(x^3)y^2=x^3y^2  (can't combine the exponents because they have different bases of x and y)

x^1(x^2)=x^{(1+2)}=x^3

2^2(2^2)=2^{(2+2)}=2^4=16

5^{(\frac{-5}{2} )}*5^{(\frac{9}{2} )}=5^{(\frac{-5+9}{2} )}=5^{(\frac{4}{2} )}=5^2=25    Your answer is C

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation 3x^2+5x=-1
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Two real distinct solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>Background of the Discriminant</u>

The discriminant b^2-4ac applies to quadratic equations when they are organised in standard form: ax^2+bx+c=0.

All quadratic equations can be solved with the quadratic formula: x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}}.

When b^2-4ac is positive, it is possible to take its square root and end up with two real, distinct values of x.

When it is zero, we won't be taking the square root at all and we will end up with two real solutions that are equal, or just one solution.

When it is negative, it is impossible to take the square root and we will end up with two non-real solutions.

<u>Solving the Problem</u>

<u />3x^2+5x=-1<u />

We're given the above equation. It hasn't been organised completely in ax^2+bx+c=0, but we can change that by adding 1 to both sides to make the right side equal to 0:

3x^2+5x+1=0<u />

Now that we can identify the values of a, b and c, we can plug them into the discriminant:

D=b^2-4ac\\D=(5)^2-4(3)(1)\\D=25-4(3)(1)\\D=25-12\\D=13

Therefore, because the discriminant is positive, the equation has two real, distinct solutions.

I hope this helps!
