Answer:

The price per serving is $0.315, therefore, it's less than $0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the price per serving, we can first calculate the price per cup, this is done by dividing the total value of the box by the number of cups it can serve:

price_{cup} = \frac{3.8}{9} = 0.42

Since each serving is \frac{3}{4} of a cup, then it's price has the same proportion and is given by:

price_{serving} = \frac{3}{4}*0.42 = 0.315

The price per serving is $0.315, therefore, it's less than $0.5

Determine the number of real solutions for each of the given equations. Equation Number of Solutions y = -3x2 + x + 12 y = 2x2 -
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equations are

y = -3x^2 + x + 12\\y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\y = x^2 + 7x - 11\\y = -x^2 - 8x - 16\\

Let us understand the term Discriminant of a quadratic equation and its properties

Discriminant is denoted by  D and its formula is

D=b^2-4ac\\

Where

a= the coefficient of the x^{2}

b= the coefficient of x

c = constant term

Properties of D: If D

i) D=0 , One real root

ii) D>0 , Two real roots

iii) D<0 , no real root

Hence in the given quadratic equations , we will find the values of D Discriminant  and evaluate our answer accordingly .

Let us start with

y = -3x^2 + x + 12\\a=-3 , b =1 , c =12\\D=1^2-4*(-3)*(12)\\D=1+144\\D=145\\D>0 \\

Hence we have two real roots for this equation.

y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\

y = 2x^2 - 6x + 5\\a=2,b=-6,c=5\\D=(-6)^2-4*2*5\\D=36-40\\D=-4\\D

Hence we do not have any real root for this quadratic

y = x^2 + 7x - 11\\a=1,b=7,-11\\D=7^2-4*1*(-11)\\D=49+44\\D=93\\

Hence D>0 and thus we have two real roots for this equation.

y = -x^2 - 8x - 16\\a=-1,b=-8,c=-16\\D=(-8)^2-4*(-1)*(-16)\\D=64-64\\D=0\\

Hence we have one real root to this quadratic equation.
