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.

PLS HELP! URGENT!!!! A circular flower bed is 20 m in diameter and has a circular sidewalk around it that is 3 m wide. Find the
krok68 [10]

Answer: Area of sidewalk is 217m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area = πr²

Where

r represents the radius of the circle

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

A circular flower bed is 20 meters in diameter.

radius = diameter/2 = 20/2 = 10 meters

Area of the flower bed = 3.14 × 10²

= 314m²

The circular flower bed has a circular sidewalk around it that is 3 meters wide. This means that the total diameter would be

3 + 20 + 3 = 26m

Radius = 26!2 = 13m

Total area = 3.14 × 13² = 530.66m²

Therefore, area of the sidewalk is

530.66 - 314 = 216.66

The area of sidewalk is 217m² to the nearest whole number

Michael's dad is 30 years of age. He is 2 years more than four times Michaels age m. Write and solve a two-step equation to dete
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The two step equation that we can use to find michael's age is x = (f-2)/4 where f = 30. So Michael is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will attribute variables to the ages of Michael and his father. For his father age we will attribute a variable called "f" and for Michael's age we will attribute a variable called "x". The first information that the problem gives us is that Michael's dad is 30 years of age, so we have:

f = 30

Then the problem states that the age of the father is 2 years "more" than four "times" Michaels age. The "more" implies a sum and the "times" implies a product, so we have:

f = 2 + 4*x

We can now find Michael's age, for that we need to isolate the "x" variable. We have:

f - 2 = 4*x

4*x = f - 2

x = (f-2)/4

x = (30 - 2)/4 = 7 years

The two step equation that we can use to find michael's age is x = (f-2)/4 where f = 30. So Michael is 7 years old.
