Which of the following is true of the discriminant for the graph below

Mathematics

aniked [119]2 years ago
4 0

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!

Factor the polynomial.<br><br> X2-13x+30
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

<h2>\ \boxed{(x - 3)(x - 10)}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  - 13x  + 30

Write -13x as a difference

{x}^{2}  - 3x - 10x + 30

Factor out x from the expression

x(x - 3) - 10x + 30

Factor out -10 from the expression

x(x - 3) - 10(x - 3)

Factor out x-3 from the expression

(x - 3)(x - 10)

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!
