The quadratic has one root with multiplicity 2 if the discriminant is 0, which is

(2m+4)^2-4(4-m)(8m+1)

(That is, for a quadratic ax^2+bx+c, the discriminant is b^2-4ac.)

Set the discriminant equal to 0 and solve for m:

(2m+4)^2-4(4-m)(8m+1)=0

4m^2+16m+16+32m^2-124m-16=0

36m^2-108=0

36m(m-3)=0

\implies m=0\text{ or }m=3

current rules for telephone area codes allow the use of digits 2-9 for the first digit and 0-9 for the second and third digits.
lukranit [14]
In this question, there are 10 digit phone number which was divided into 3-3-4 digits. Every first digit of the division should be 2-9 which mean only 8 possibilities. The other digits would be 0-9 which mean 10 possibilities. Then the calculation would be:

8*10*10   *    8*10*10    *   8*10*10*10  = 8^3 * 10*7= 512 * 10^7= 5.12 * 10^9

If you convert <span>400,000,000 into the scientific form it will become 4* 10^8. Since 5.12*10^9 > 4 * 10^8, then it is clear that the number should be enough</span>

The Magic Dragon has 2013 heads. Leo the Brave is cutting off the Dragon's heads at a speed of 5 heads per minute. The Dragon's
aivan3 [116]

Answer:  The answer is 1833 heads  and 11 hours, 11 minutes.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the Magic Dragon has 2013 heads. The brave Leo is cutting off the Dragon's heads at a speed of 5 heads per minute. But, the Dragon's heads are growing back at a speed of 2 heads per minute.

So, the number of heads of Dragon that are decreasing per minute = 3.

Therefore, after 1 hour, i.e., 60 minutes, The number of heads of the Dragon

= 2013 - 60 × 3 = 2013 - 180 = 1833 heads.

Now, the fight will last until all the heads of the Dragon are cut. Let the fight lasts for 'x' minutes, then

2013-x\times 3=0\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=2013\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2013}{3}=671.

Hence the fight lasts for 671 minutes, i.e., 11 hours and 11 minutes.

Thus, the Dragon will have 1833 heads after 1 hour and the fight will last for 11 hour and 11 minutes.
