Hi there!

$\large\boxed{k> 6.125}$

We can use discriminants to determine the value of k for which the equation would have complex solutions. (Those involving i)

If b² - 4ac < 0, then the equation will have complex solutions. Therefore:

Plug in the given values of b and a to solve:

7² - 4(2)(k) < 0

Simplify:

49 - 8k < 0

Solve the inequality:

49 < 8k

6.125 < k

k > 6.125. Anything greater than 6.125 would result in complex solutions.

Plz help giveing 10 pints

Just plug in the variables so you would have -(-3) - 4^2 / 4(-3) - (5-4). Next you solve it for 3 - 16 / -12 - 1, -13/-13 = 1. Your final answer is 1. If this is right could you possibly give me brainliest? Hope this helped.

A television that listed for $550 was on sale for 35% discount. What is the sale price?

katrin [286]

Change percent to decimal which is 0.35 and multiply it by 550 to get 192.5 which is the amount taken off from the original price. So the total price after the discount is 357.5$

A rectangle has an area of 28 ft2. If the width of the rectangle is 5 ft, what is the length?

Jobisdone [24]

Area of a Rectangle = Length x Width
28 ft² = L x 5ft
28 ft² / 5ft = Length
5.6 ft = length. CHOICE A.

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2(L + W)
20 ft = 2(L + 4)
20 ft = 2L + 8
20 - 8 = 2L
12 = 2L
12/2 = 2L/2
6 ft= Length CHOICE A.

Which equation represents the graphed function

xxMikexx [17]

It’s easy just find the slope and the answer is gonna be obvious

Slope= y2-y1/x2-x1

Slope = -2-(-1)/0-4 = -1/-4 = 1/4

Slope = 1/4x

So the answer should be C
