Answer: a) k >4.08
b) k = 4.08
c) k<4.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that

a) For what values of k will the function have no zeros?
It mean it has no real zeroes i.e. Discriminant < 0
As we know that

Here, a =-3
b = 7
c = -k
So, it becomes,

b) For what values of k will the function have one zero?
It means it has one real root i.e equal roots.
So, in this case, D = 0
So, it becomes,

c) For what values of k will the function have two zeros?
It means it has two real roots.
In this case, D>0
So, it becomes,

Hence, a) k >4.08
b) k = 4.08
c) k<4.08
Answer:
18 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6 of one minute is 50 seconds.
There are 3600 seconds in one hour, which means there are 900 seconds in 1/4 of an hour. (3600*1/4)
This would leave us with 900 seconds divided by 50 seconds per lap.
900/50=18
