Answer:

Part A - Option B - b^2-4ac

Part B - b^2-4ac=25

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A : Decide which part of the quadratic formula tells you whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring.

The formula which tells the quadratic equation can be solve by factoring is called a discriminant.

Discriminant of the quadratic equation is D=b^2-4ac

So, Option B is correct.

Part B : Use the part of the quadratic formula that you chose above and find its value given the following quadratic equation:  

2x^2 + 7x + 3 = 0

The solution of the quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 is

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{D}}{2a}

On comparing with 2x^2 + 7x + 3 = 0

a=2 ,b=7 ,c=3

D=b^2-4ac

D=7^{2}-4(2)(3)}

D=49-24

D=25>0

So, there exist distinct real roots.

Substitute in the formula,

x=\frac{-7\pm\sqrt{25}}{4}

x=\frac{-7\pm 5}{4}

x=\frac{-7+5}{4},\frac{-7-5}{4}

x=\frac{-2}{4},\frac{-12}{4}

x=-\frac{1}{2},-3

The part of the quadratic formula that dictates whether the function is factorable or not is B. b^2 - 4ac. This determines the number of real, imaginary, negative and positive roots. 
In the equation <span>2x^2 + 7x + 3, 
we use the quadratic formula 
x = -b +- sqrt (b2 -4ac) /2a = -7 +- </span><span>sqrt (49 -24) /4
the answers are x1 =-0.5 and x2 = -3.</span>

Taisha uses the elliptical cross- trainer at the gym. Her general goal is to burn 280 calories per workout, but she varies by as
Fed [463]

Given - Taisha has a general goal is to burn the 280 calories.

she is varies by the 25 calories.

Find out the maximum and minimum of calories burn by the taisha.

To proof -

let us assume that the calories burn by the taisha be x.

as given the calories are varies by the 25 calories.

then the maximum calories equation becomes

x-25 = 280

x = 280 + 25

x = 305

the maximum calories burn by the taisha is 305 calories.

minimum calories equationbecomes

x + 25 = 280

x = 255

The minmum calories burn by the taisha is 255 calories.

Hence proved
