Answer:

k>-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

-3x^2-6x+k=0

Where <em>a </em>= -3, <em>b</em> = -6, and <em>c</em> = <em>k.</em>

And we want to determine values of <em>k</em> such that the equation will have real, unequal roots.

In order for a quadratic equation to have real, unequal roots, the discriminant must be a real number greater than 0. Therefore:

b^2-4ac>0

Substitute:

(-6)^2-4(-3)(k)>0

Simplify:

36+12k>0

Solve for <em>k: </em>

<em />12k > -36<em />

<em />k>-3<em />

So, for all <em>k</em> greater than -3, our quadratic equation will have two real, unequal roots.

Notes:

If <em>k </em>is equal to -3, then we have two equal roots.

And if <em>k</em> is less than -3, then we have two complex roots.

Consider the two exponential equations shown. Identify the attributes for each equation to complete the table.​
SIZIF [17.4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

y = 2 5 0 ( 0 . 8 9 ) ^ x

Initial value: 250

Decay

Decay rate: 11%

y = 4 0 ( 1.11 ) ^ x

Initial value: 40

Growth

Growth rate: 11%

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The function we have on the left of the table is:

y = 2 5 0 ( 0 . 8 9 ) ^ x

<u>Initial value</u> (when x = 0): y = 2 5 0 ( 0 . 8 9 ) ^ 0

y = 250 (initial value)

Growth or Decay: 0.89 < 1 so decay

Decay rate: (1 - 0.89) * 100 = 11%

Function on right side:

y = 4 0 ( 1.11 ) ^ x

<u>Initial value</u> (when x = 0): y = 4 0 ( 1 . 1 1 ) ^ 0

y = 40 (initial value)

Growth or decay: 1.11 > 1 so growth

Growth rate: (1.11 - 1) * 100 = 11%

the numbers of girls in the choir is 4 times the number of boys in the choir .the total number of students is 60..how many girls
Inessa05 [86]
First, make up some variables to represent the number of Girls and Boys in the choir.  

B = number of boys
G = number of girls

You know that there are 4 times as many girls in the choir as boys.  Therefore, the equation you can write is:
\frac{B}{G} =  \frac{1}{4}

If you cross-multiply, then you get the simplified equation:
G = 4B

Intuitively this makes sense since if you multiplied the number of boys in the class by 4, that would be equal to the number of girls you have.

Now, we know that the total class size is 60. So girls plus boys equals 60:
G+B = 60

To solve the equation, replace the G in this equation with the replacement you found before, 4B.
G + B = 60 -->
4B + B = 60 -->
5B = 60 -->
B = 12

However, you are trying to find the number of girls, so plug the answer back into your equation.
G + B = 60 -->
G + 12 = 60 -->
G + 12 -12 = 60 - 12 -->
G = 48

The number of girls you have is 48.
