<u>Question:</u>
Find the number of real number solutions for the equation. x^2 + 5x + 7 = 0
<u>Answer:</u>
The number of real solutions for the equation
is zero
<u>Solution:</u>
For a Quadratic Equation of form :
---- eqn 1
The solution is
Now , the given Quadratic Equation is
---- eqn 2
On comparing Equation (1) and Equation(2), we get
a = 1 , b = 5 and c = 7
In
,
is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation
Its value determines the nature of roots
Now, here are the rules with discriminants:
1) D > 0; there are 2 real solutions in the equation
2) D = 0; there is 1 real solution in the equation
3) D < 0; there are no real solutions in the equation
Now let solve for given equation

Since -3 is less than 0, this means that there are 0 real solutions in this equation.
If it takes 4 people to get a job done in 20 hours, then in 10 hours, it will take 2 people to complete the same job.
To find out how many people are needed to do this job in 10 hours, we can see that we got to 10 hours by dividing 20 by two so, to see how many people are needed to complete this same job in ten hours, we would just divide 4 people by 2 which is 2 people.
So, in conclusion, if it takes a certain job to be done in 20 hours by 4 people, then it would take 10 hours for that same job to be completed by 2 people.
Glad I could help!
Turn 1.4 into a whole number. Which makes 1.4 to 14. We know that 3 has a decimal point at the end. So move the decimal point of 3 to the right, making it 30. Now do 30/14. You will get...
30/14 = 2.14
