<u>Question:</u>
Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0
<u>Answer:</u>
The number of real solutions for the equation
is zero
<u>Solution:</u>
For a Quadratic Equation of form :
---- eqn 1
The solution is
Now , the given Quadratic Equation is
---- eqn 2
On comparing Equation (1) and Equation(2), we get
a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 7
In
,
is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation
Its value determines the nature of roots
Now, here are the rules with discriminants:
1) D > 0; there are 2 real solutions in the equation
2) D = 0; there is 1 real solution in the equation
3) D < 0; there are no real solutions in the equation
Now let solve for given equation

Since -3 is less than 0, this means that there are 0 real solutions in this equation.
I'm not sure that I am 100% right but I'll give it a shot.
50+75= 125*0.35=43.75
$43.75
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
All the relevant transformations are as shown in the explanations below.
<h3>How to Interpret Transformations?</h3>
We are given the original function as y = x and told the transformation is as follows;
1) y = x + 5; This means that the function was shifted 5 units to the left.
2) y = ³/₈x; This means that the function was vertically stretched by a scale factor of ³/₈.
3) y = -x - 2 or y = -(x + 2); This means that the function was first shifted by 2 units to the left before being reflected over the x-axis.
4) y = 6x + 1; This means that the function was stretched by a factor of 6 and then shifted 1 unit to the left.
5) y = x - 11; This means that the function was shifted 11 units to the right.
6) y = 8x; This means that the function was vertically stretched by a scale factor of 8.
7) y = -1/3x; This means that the function was horizontally stretched by a scale factor of 1/3.
