Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is used to determine the number and nature of the zeros of a quadratic. If the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, there are 2 rational zeros; if the discriminant is positive and not a perfect square, there are 2 rational complex zeros; if the discriminant is 0, there is 1 rational root; if the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots.
The roots/solutions/zeros of a quadratic are where the graph goes through the x axis. Those are the real zeros, even if they don't fall exactly on a number like 1 or 2 or 3; they can fall on 1.32, 4.35, etc. They are still real. If the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative and you can't take the square root of a negative number. As you can see on our graph, the parabola never goes through the x-axis. Therefore, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative. Choice C. Get familiar with your discriminants and the nature of quadratic solutions. Your life will be much easier!
Answer:
8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...
6t = 144 * 
.... first multiply the right side of the equation
6t = 48 ... next divide both sides by 6
t = 8
Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.
Answer:
The coefficient is 3, the number right before the variable.
Answer:
9) y = -x + 5
10) y = -7/2x - 5
11) y = x - 1
12) y = -5x/3 - 3
13) y = -4x/1
I'm not 100% sure for some of these answers since the pic is a bit blurry, but they're pretty accurate.
