Find value of determinant.
The determinant is a term that is inside a square root and part of the quadratic formula used for solving quadratic equations.
Let determinant be 'd'.
If d >0, Then there are 2 real solutions
If d = 0, Then there is only 1 real solutions
If d < 0, Then there are 0 real solutions but 2 imaginary solutions
d = b^2 - 4ac
For this problem, the coefficients are:
a = 1, b = -3, c = 8
d = (-3)^2 - 4(1)(8)
d = 9 -32 = -23
d is less than 0, therefore there are 0 real solutions and 2 imaginary solutions.
This is true because you cannot take square root of a negative number.

Answer:
Mmmm tricky but I'll try..
take away 4 apples from the basket with 9 and place it in the one with 1 apple
then take away one apple from the one with 6 and place it in the basket with 4
And now you have 5 apples in each basket
Happy now?
Answer:
15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a proportion question
It says 1/2 crates of apple are used for every 3/4 crates of oranges
For 5/2 crates of apple, x crates of oranges will be needed.
To get x, we simply multiply 1/2 by x and equate it to 3/4 multiplied by 5/2
This means: 0.5x = 0.75 × 2.5
x = ( 0.75 × 2.5 ) ÷ 0.5 = 3.75
Hence for 5/2 crates for apple, she will need 15/4 crates of oranges.
