For this case we have that by definition, a quadratic equation is of the form:

ax ^ 2 + bx + c = 0

Its roots are given by:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

By definition, the discriminant is given by:

D = b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)

According to the given equation we have to:

a = 5\\b = 3\\c = -5

Substituting:

D = 3 ^ 2-4 (5) (- 5)\\D = 9 + 100\\D = 109

Answer:

The discriminant is 109

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to 2x + 4y = 6 and passes through the point (6, 4) ). es A ) y = 2x + 4 B) y
netineya [11]

Answer:

B - y = 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find slope

2x + 4y = 6

4y = -2x + 6

Make y the subject of the formula

y =( -2x + 6)/4

We can separate to get the slope

y = -2x/4 + 6/4

y = -x/2 + 3/2

Slope m = -1/2

Step 2: using a point slope form equation

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, it is always a negative reciprocal of each other

ie m = 2

Substitute m into the equation

y - y1 = 2(x - x1)

Step 3: sub the point

( 6 , 4)

x1 = 6

y1 = 4

y - 4 = 2( x - 6)

Step 4 : using a slope intercept form equation

Open the bracket

y - 4 = 2x - 12

y = 2x - 12 + 4

y = 2x - 8

The equation of a line is

y = 2x - 8

Rachel tutors English. for each hour that she tutors, she earns 50 dollars. Let E be her earnings (in dollars) after tutoring fo
n200080 [17]

Answer:

a. E = 50 H b. 950 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since Rachel tutors English for 50 dollars for each hours, her rate is 50 dollar per hour. If she tutors for time, H hours, Her earning E = rate × time = 50 × H

E = 50H.

b. If Rachel's earnings after tutoring for 19 hours is gotten by substituting H = 19 into the equation for the earnings, E.

So, E = 50H

E = 50 × 19

E = 950 dollars.

So, Rachel's earnings after 19 hours is 950 dollars.

There were 567 people at a concert when a band started playing. After each song, only one-third of the people stayed to hear the
emmasim [6.3K]
To write the function correctly, it is important to assign variables correctly and understand the situation of the problem clearly. For this, we let y the number of people and x as the number of songs played.

At x = 0   y = 567
at x = 1   y = 567 - 567(1/3)
at x = 2   y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)
at x = 3   y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)

Therefore, the number of people left after x songs would be represented by the equation:

y = 567 - 567(1/3)x
y = 567 ( 1- x/3 )

Aramp is 17 feet long, rises 8 feet above the floor, and covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet, as shown in the figure.
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The ratio of Tan B is

\tan B= \dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{8}{15}

OR

\tan A= \dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC

angle C = 90°

AB = Ramp = 17 feet

BC =Horizontal distance = 15 feet

AC = Height from floor = 8 feet

To Find:

Ratio of Tan B = ?

Solution:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC By Tangent Identity we have

\tan B= \dfrac{\textrm{side opposite to angle B}}{\textrm{side adjacent to angle B}}

Substituting the given values we get

\tan B= \dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{8}{15}

OR

\tan A= \dfrac{BC}{AC}=\dfrac{15}{8}
