How to find the discriminant of

Mathematics
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
6 0

the discriminant   b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0


13x^2-16x = x^2 -x


we need to get in it the standard form


subtract x^2 from each side


12x^2 -16x = -x


add x to each side


12x^2 -15x = 0


12x^2 -15x -0 =0


a=12 b=-15 c=0


b^2 -4ac


the discriminant = b^2


b^2 = (-15)2 = 225

Simplify (4x-8)/(-3x)*(12)/(12-6x)
zloy xaker [14]

\dfrac{4x-8}{-3x}\cdot\dfrac{12}{12-6x}=\dfrac{4(x-2)}{-x}\cdot\dfrac{4}{-6(x-2)}=\dfrac{4}{-x}\cdot\dfrac{4}{-6}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{-x}\cdot\dfrac{4}{-3}=\dfrac{(2)(4)}{(-x)(-3)}=\dfrac{8}{3x}

Write the fraction 8/9 as a percent round to the nearest hundredth of a percent were necessary?
Flura [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn a fraction into a percent, you divide the numerator by the denominator.

8 divided by 9 = .8 repeated

To turn it into a percent, you move the decimal to the right 2 spaces.

.8 turns into 88.8 repeated

Then you round to the nearest hundredth

88.8 repeated rounds to 88.89.

Solve the equation for y<br> Y minus 5 equals 1/3 (x plus 12)
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

ok so this problem you are basically just rearranging it. you're going to want y by itself.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's start with the original equation: 5-y=1/3x +12

so first you have to move the five over, so you subtract 5 from both sides. -y=1/3x+12-5

then you subtract the 5 from the twelve since they're like terms: -y=1/3x+7

and finally you have to move the negative over. when you move the negative think of it like dividing negative one from both sides, everything on the other side has to get the negative.

so we're left with y=-1/3x-7

I hope this helps!

A student estimated a mass of 250grams, according to the scale the mass is actually 240grams. What is the percent error? (round
NeX [460]

Answer:

4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent error = (estimated value - actual value)/(actual value) × 100%

Here, the estimated value is 250 g, and the actual value is 250 g.

percent error = (estimated value - actual value)/(actual value) × 100%

percent error = (250 g - 240 g)/(240 g) × 100%

percent error = 10/240 × 100%

percent error = 0.041666... × 100%

percent error = 4.2%
