So k=katie's' age
m=mara's age

k is 2 times as old as m
k=2m

sum is 24
add means sum
k+m=24

so we have
k+m=24 and
k=2m
subsitute
2m+m=24
add
3m=24
divide both sides by 3
m=8
subsitute again
k=2m
k=2(8)
k=16

katie=16
mara=8

Find the discriminant of the equation. x2 + 3x - 4 = 0
ivann1987 [24]

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0

Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.

The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).

Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:

(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)

Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.

The discriminant is 25.

-3 plus or minus √25

Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------

2

-3 plus or minus 5

or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)

Leg a = 24

Leg b = 7 in

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                          24² + 7² = x²
  2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                      576 + 49 = x²
