Answer:

Inverted parabola

Two complex solution

Step-by-step explanation:

any quadratic equation can be expressed in terms of ax^2 + bx + c = 0

It has two solutions which can be found using formula X =( -b + \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} )/2a \\or  \ ( -b - \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} )/2a

We know that  for any value inside the square root function

if it is positive its solution will be real number

for example  \sqrt{9} we can have two real solution -3 and 3

if it is negative its solution will be complex number

for example  \sqrt{-9}we can have two complex solution

expressed in term of a + ib or a - ib

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given in the problem

we have  ax^2 - bx + c

so its solution will be

X =( -(-b) + \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} )/2a \\or  \ ( -(-b) - \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} )/2a\\\\X =( b + \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} )/2a \\or  \ ( b - \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} )/2a\\

Since in this expression it is given in problem statement that b^2 - 4ac < 0 which will be a negative number and for negative number, its square root is complex number.

also X has two values as given above it will have two solution

hence it will have two complex solution based on above discussion.

Also for any quadratic equation shape of its curve if plotted on coordinate plane is parabolic.

If it has complex solution then curve of such expression  will not pass through X axis

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. What is the value of h? h = 60 h = 80 h = 100 h = 120
lisabon 2012 [21]
I added the diagram of the question.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
h = 60°

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
We are given that lines k and l are parallel lines.
This means that angles 120° and h are <u>supplementary angles</u>.
This means that their measures <u>add up to 180°</u>

<u>Therefore:</u>
180° = 120° + h
h = 180° - 120°
h = 60°

Hope this helps :)
