The reason it's not reasonable is because you would have to multiply smaller numbers to get that number when in fact the actual answer is 1364
Line r represents the equation y= 3x-2.
Even though the y-intercept is not visible, the slope is 3. So that means the orange line is the equation
Answer: 2 distinct complex solutions (ie non real solutions).
Work Shown:
The given equation is in the form ax^2+bx+c = 0, so
a = 1, b = 3, c = 8
Plug those into the formula below to find the discriminant
D = b^2 - 4ac
D = 3^2 - 4(1)(8)
D = -23
The discriminant is negative, so we get two nonreal solutions. The two solutions are complex numbers in the form a+bi, where a & b are real numbers and
. The two solutions are different from one another.
