Answer:

Two real distinct solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>Background of the Discriminant</u>

The discriminant b^2-4ac applies to quadratic equations when they are organised in standard form: ax^2+bx+c=0.

All quadratic equations can be solved with the quadratic formula: x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}.

When b^2-4ac is positive, it is possible to take its square root and end up with two real, distinct values of x.

When it is zero, we won't be taking the square root at all and we will end up with two real solutions that are equal, or just one solution.

When it is negative, it is impossible to take the square root and we will end up with two non-real solutions.

<u>Solving the Problem</u>

<u />0=-2x^2+3<u />

We are given above equation. Notice how there are values for a and c but none for b, as there is no bx term. This means that the value of b is 0. We can rewrite the equation so it shows this:

0=-2x^2+0x+3<u />

Now that we have the values of a, b and c, we can plug them into the discriminant:

D=0^2-4(-2)(3)\\D=-4(-2)(3)\\D=-4(-6)\\D=24

Because 24 is positive, there are two real, distinct solutions for this equation.

I hope this helps!

Dominic wants to test if one of two types of fertilizer (a standard fertilizer and a new product) is better for producing melons
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is wrong because having a different height for each seedling and not trying to keep it equal is simply worse than making sure the heights are identical.

B. Completely wrong because it would likely result in 1 plot having more melon seedlings than the other.

C. Correct because it makes sure the seedlings are the same height at the beginning of the experiment, allowing less randomness in the experiment.

D. Putting the taller of a each pair for 1 plot makes it the experiment rigged in favor of the plot with taller seedlings

E. Same issue as D.

At the beginning of Jack's diet, he was 257 pounds. If he lost 3 pounds per week, find his weight after
Cloud [144]

Answer:

A loss of weight means we subtract from Jack's current weight. 

Step-by-step explanation:

A loss of weight means we subtract from Jack's current weight. New Weight = Current Weight - Weight Loss per week * number of weeksNew Weight =257 - 3*12New Weight =257 - 36New Weight = 221
