Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is used to determine the number and nature of the zeros of a quadratic. If the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, there are 2 rational zeros; if the discriminant is positive and not a perfect square, there are 2 rational complex zeros; if the discriminant is 0, there is 1 rational root; if the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots.

The roots/solutions/zeros of a quadratic are where the graph goes through the x axis. Those are the real zeros, even if they don't fall exactly on a number like 1 or 2 or 3; they can fall on 1.32, 4.35, etc. They are still real. If the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative and you can't take the square root of a negative number. As you can see on our graph, the parabola never goes through the x-axis. Therefore, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative. Choice C.  Get familiar with your discriminants and the nature of quadratic solutions. Your life will be much easier!

A new car is purchased for 15700 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 7.5% per year. To the nearest year, how long will
devlian [24]

Answer:

10100=15700(1-0.075)^x

10100=15700(0.925)^x

divide both sides by 15700

0.925^x=101/157

convert decimal

(37/40)^x=101/157

take the log

x= log 37/40 (101/157)

x= 5.65824

Each tape diagram represents I whole.
Monica [59]

Hi! From what I know, your answer should be 5n = 1.75.

This is because all 5 of those n's ultimately equal the large box of 1.75 on the top. Think of it as fractions. if we replaced 1.75 with 1, those n's would each be 1/5.
