Answer:

  C.  two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Your quadratic matches the form ...

  ax^2 +bx +c = 0

for the values a=2, b=7, c=-15.

The discriminant is ...

  d = b^2 -4ac

For your values of a, b, c, the discriminant value is ...

  d = 7^2 -4(2)(-15) = 169

The discriminant is positive, indicating there are two real solutions.

_____

When the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions, only complex solutions.

When the discriminant is zero, there is one real solution.

__

This equation factors as (2x-3)(x+5) = 0 and has solutions x=3/2, x=-5.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 52. The length is 2 more than 2 times the width. Find the width and length.
Arlecino [84]
Formula for the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W).
let the width be x
length = 2 + 2x
substitute respectively
52 = 2(2 + 2x + x)
52 = 2 (2 + 3x)
52 = 4 + 6x
52 - 4 = 6x
48 = 6x
divide both sides by 6
48/6 = 6x/6
8 = x
width = 8
length = 2 + 2x = 2 + 2(8) = 2 + 16 = 18

Do values of these triangles form right triangles or not using Pythagorean theorem
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Yes

Yes

No

Step-by-step explanation:

9-12-15 is just a dilation of a 3-4-5, which is right.

6-8-10 is also a dilation of 3-4-5.

However, 2-4-6 is not a triangle. In fact, it's just a line segment, because 2+4=6
