Answer:
20 percent decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
0.15 cents is 10 percent of 1.50, and that multiplied by 2 is 0.30 cents. 0.30 cents is equal to 20 percent, and the difference between 1.50 and 1.20 is 30 cents.
-4/2=-2
(-2)^2=4
the blank is +4
x^2-4x+4
factored
(x-2)^2
I think it should be 25 blocks east
3x^2 + 8x - 4 - (6x^2 - 5x + 3)....distribute thru the parenthesis
3x^2 + 8x - 4 - 6x^2 + 5x - 3 .....combine like terms
-3x^2 + 13x - 7 <==
Answer:
A: This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two or fewer roots.
B: The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 12x^2 + 5x - 2.
Since this is a quadratic equation, or a polynomial of second degree, one can easily conclude that this equation will have at most 2 roots. At most 2 roots mean that the function can have either 2 roots at maximum or less than 2 roots. Therefore, in the A category, 2nd option is the correct answer (This polynomial has a degree of 2 , so the equation 12x^2 + 5x − 2 = 0 has two or fewer roots).
To find the roots of f(x), set f(x) = 0. Therefore:
12x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0. Solving the question using the mid term breaking method shows that 12*2=24. The factors of 24 whose difference is 5 are 8 and 3. Therefore:
12x^2 + 8x - 3x - 2 = 0.
4x(3x + 2) -1(3x+2) = 0.
(4x-1)(3x+2) = 0.
4x-1 = 0 or 3x+2 = 0.
x = 1/4 or x = -2/3.
It can be seen that f(x) has two distinct real roots. Therefore, in the B category, 1st Option is the correct answer (The quadratic equation 12x2+5x−2=0 has two real solutions, x=−2/3 or x=1/4 , and therefore has two real roots)!!!
