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:
Step-by-step explanation:
let p¼ = a, q¼ = b
L.H.S. = (a - b)(a + b)(a² + b²) = (a² - b²)(a² + b²) = (a²)² - (b²)² = p - q = R.H.S.
Answer:
okayyyyy.... then
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6.48%
Step-by-step explanation:
t - c = b
t = 31.93
c = 29.99
b = 31.93 - 29.99
b = 6.48%
