If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is equal to -8, which statement describes the roots?

1 answer:

8 0

A bag contains 6 blue balls, 3 green balls and 3 yellow balls. What is the probability of choosing one blue ball and then a yell

EastWind [94]

Prob(first ball being blue) = 6 / (6 + 3 + 3) = 6/12 = 1/2
Prob ( picking a yellow ball) = 3 /12 = 1/4

As the 2 events are independent the probabilities are multiplied
So the answer is 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8

Answer:

$\large\boxed{-\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=-\dfrac{3}{8}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\left(-\dfrac{5}{8}\right)=\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{5}{8}\\\\\text{find LCD:}\\\\8=2\cdot4,\ \text{therefore. LCD(4, 8) = 8}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1\cdot2}{4\cdot2}=\dfrac{2}{8}\\\\\text{continuing}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{8}-\dfrac{5}{8}=\dfrac{2-5}{8}=-\dfrac{3}{8}$
