Answer:

The time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone is 15 minutes

The time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone is 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn = 9 minutes faster than the first kitten working alone

The time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn = 4 minutes faster than the second kitten working alone

Let 'x' represent the time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, let 'y' represent the time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, and let 't' represent the time it takes the two kitten to unwind the balls of yarn we have;

x = t + 9

y = t + 4

The rate of working, per ball of yarn, of the first kitten = 1/x = 1/(t + 9)

The rate of working, per ball of yarn, of the second kitten = 1/y = 1/(t + 4)

The amount of work each kitten does in the time 't', added together to unwind 1 ball of yarn is given as follows;

t/(t + 9) + t/(t + 4) = 1

(t·(t +4) + t·(t + 9))/(t + 4)×(t + 9) = 1

Using a graphing calculator, we have;

(2·t²+13·t)/(t² + 13·t + 36) = 1

∴ (2·t² + 13·t) = (t² + 13·t + 36)

(2·t² + 13·t) - (t² + 13·t + 36) = 0

t² - 36 = 0

t = √36 = 6

t = 6

x = t + 9 = 6 + 9 = 15

The time it takes the first kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, x = 15 minutes

y = t + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

The time it takes the second kitten to unwind the balls of yarn alone, y = 10 minutes

What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 4x – 2?
lyudmila [28]
The answer is down the page under ANSWER. here is a quick explanation first.

okay, i assume your equation is actually like this:

minus x squared plus 4 x minus

note: the proper way to type this electronically is: -x^2 + 4x - 2.



The equation you gave is known as a quadratic equation.

if you think about it, the generic (general) way of writing this quadratic equation is:

ax^2 + bx + c


a, b and c are just numbers

eg.

2x^2 + 7x + 4

looking at the general equation above

a is 2
b is 7
c is 4

you can put negatives in as well, to find out a, b and c

eg

-2x^2 - 6x - 12


so, what is a b and c?

a is -2 (must say its negative)
b is - 6 (must say negative)
c is - 12 ( again, remember its a negative number)

ANSWER

IF YOU JUST WANT THE ANSWER.

THE DISCRIMINANT IS:

4 squared minus (4 times -1 times -2)
this is 16 - 8
solution of discriminant is 8


explanation:

so, now we cleared that up.
in any quadratic equation ( like the equation you gave), the discriminant is (in general)


b2 - 4ac

use this to solve it for any quadratic equation for the discriminant
