Answer:

A. if the discriminant is zero there is real solution

B. if the discriminant is negative there are 0 real solutions

C. if the discriminant is positive there are 2 real solutions​

Step-by-step explanation:

B² - 4AC is the discriminant

If B²-4AC < 0, no real roots

If B2-4AC = 0, roots are real and repeated

If B²-4AC > 0, roots are real and distinct

Answer:

A, B, and C

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is denoted by b^2 - 4ac, and it can give us information about the roots of the quadratic equation.

It tells us that if:

- b^2 - 4ac < 0 , then there are 0 real solutions; they're all imaginary (involving the letter i, which is the square root of -1)

- b^2 - 4ac = 0 , then there is 1 real solution; this 1 solution has a multiplicity of 2 because the roots of the quadratic are the same number

- b^2 - 4ac > 0 , then there are 2 real solutions; there are no imaginary solutions

Looking at the possible choices, we see that all of A (A, I'm assuming you meant to write "if the discriminant is zero there is one real solution"), B, and C reflect the above properties.

Thus, they're all right.

1. A sine function has the following key features:
andrew11 [14]
Problem 1

See the attached image (figure 1)

16pi seems like a typo. I'm going to assume that it's a fraction and it is 1/(6pi)
f = 1/(6pi) = frequency
T = 1/f = 1/(1/(6pi)) = 6pi
Amplitude = 2
a = 2
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/(6pi) = 1/3
Midline: y = 3
d = 3

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = 2*sin(1/3*x-0)+3
y = 2*sin(x/3)+3

===============================================

Problem 2

See the attached image (figure 2) 

T = 12 is the period
a = 4 is the amplitude
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/12 = pi/6
y = 1 is the midline so d = 1
The y intercept is (0,1) which is the midline, which indicates no phase shifts have occurred so c = 0

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = 4*sin((pi/6)x-0)+1
y = 4*sin((pi/6)x)+1

===============================================

Problem 3

See the attached image (figure 3)

Period = 4pi
T = 4pi
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/(4pi) = 1/2 = 0.5
Amplitude = 2
a = 2
Midline: y = 3
d = 3
y-intercept: (0,3)
The function is a reflection of its parent function over the x-axis, so 'a' is negative meaning a = -2 instead of a = 2

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = -2*sin(0.5x-0)+3
y = -2*sin(0.5x)+3

===============================================

Problem 4

See the attached image (figure 4)

a = 10 which is half of the distance between the highest and lowest points
T = 8 is the period
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/8 = pi/4
c = -pi/2 is the phase shift since its really a cosine graph
d = 0 is the midline

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = 10*sin((pi/4)*x+(-pi/2))+0
y = 10*sin((pi/4)*x+pi/2)

===============================================

Problem 5

See the attached image (figure 5)

a = 2 is the amplitude since it bobs up and down this distance from the midline
T = 8 seconds is the period (double that of the time it takes for it to go from the highest to the lowest point)
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/8 = pi/4
c = 0 is the phase shift as the buoy starts at normal depth of 20 meters
d = 20 is the midline

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = 2*sin((pi/4)x-0)+20
y = 2*sin((pi/4)x)+20

===============================================

A store manager did a study to determine the amount of money the first 50 customers spent in her store. The data are approximate
MatroZZZ [7]
P(x > 35) = 1 - P(x < 35) = 1 - P[z < (35 - 29.60)/10.50] = 1 - P(z < 0.5143) = 1 - 0.6965 = 0.3035

Therefore, answer is 0.30 to the hundredths place.
