If the discriminant is positive how many solutions are there

Mathematics
1 answer:
ddd [48]3 years ago

Answer:

b^2-4ac>0 yields 2 real roots

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of real roots for a quadratic, we apply the discriminate. The discriminate is the inside portion of the square root from the quadratic formula.

• b^2-4ac>0 yields 2 real roots

• b^2-4ac=0 yields 1 real root

• [tx]b^2-4ac<0[/tex] yields no real roots

Example:

4x^2-7x+2=0 where a=4, b=-7, and c=2

b^2-4ac=(-7)^2-4(4)(2)=49-32=17.

It has 2 real roots

How do you solve for the slope of a line with the equation ax^2 + bx + c?

<h2>The graph of y = ax^2 + bx + c </h2><h2>A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form </h2><h2>ax2+bx+c,where a≠0 </h2><h2>All quadratic functions has a U-shaped graph called a parabola. The parent quadratic function is </h2><h2> y=x2 </h2><h2> The lowest or the highest point on a parabola is called the vertex. The vertex has the x-coordinate </h2><h2>x=−b2a </h2><h2>The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum or minimum value of the function. </h2><h2>a > 0                   parabola opens up                    minimum value </h2><h2>a < 0                    parabola opens down              maximum value </h2><h2> A rule of thumb reminds us that when we have a positive symbol before x2 we get a happy expression on the graph and a negative symbol renders a sad expression. </h2><h2>The vertical line that passes through the vertex and divides the parabola in two is called the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry has the equation </h2><h2>x=−b2a </h2><h2>The y-intercept of the equation is c. </h2><h2> When you want to graph a quadratic function you begin by making a table of values for some values of your function and then plot those values in a coordinate plane and draw a smooth curve through the points.</h2>

so, 90 x .60 = 54

Hi, can somoene please check why my solution and explain why I get the wrong answer.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

a_n=(1-n)2^n+3^n

Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct down to the part where you add the partial results:

a_n=a_n^h+a_n^p=A3^n+B2^n-n2^n\\\text{Using the given starter values, we can find A, B:}\\a_0=2=A\\a_1=7=3A+2B+2\\\text{has solution A=1, B=1, so ...}\\\\a_n=3^n+2^n-n2^n
