A there are no real zeros
using the discriminant b² - 4ac to determine the nature of the zeros
for y = x² + 4x + 5 ( with a = 1, b = 4 and c = 5 )
• If b² - 4ac > 0 there are 2 real and distinct zeros
• If b² - 4ac = 0 there is a real and equal zero
• If b² - 4ac < 0 there are no real zeros
b² - 4ac = 16 - 20 = - 4
Since discriminant < 0 there are no real zeros
Factor the equation. Remember the value should add to the b value and multiply to the c value.
x^2-x-12= 0
(x-4)(x+3)=0
Use the zero product property to find roots
x-4=0
x=4
x+3=0
x=-3
Final answer: x=-3, x=4
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
the third angle of the inner triangle is defined by using the rule that the sum of all angles in a triangle must be 180 degrees. let's call this angle a
180 = 48 + 16x + a
132 - 16x = a
and then we know that both angles, 28x and a together must also be 180, as they are complementing each other to cover the whole top of the base line.
so,
28x + 132 - 16x = 180
12x = 48
x = 4
Look at the picture. I have no idea why I can't add an answer.
