Answer:

\Delta=-124

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant for a quadratic in standard form is given by the formula:

\Delta=b^2-4ac

We have the equation:

7x^2-4x+5=0

Hence, a=7; b=-4; and c=5.

Therefore, our discriminant will be:

\Delta=(-4)^2-4(7)(5)

Evaluate. Hence, our discriminant is:

\Delta=16-140=-124

Notes:

Since our discriminant is negative, this tells us that the quadratic has no real roots.

Answer:

-124

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is given by

b^2 -4ac  where ax^2 + bx+c =0

7x^2-4x+5=0​  so a = 7 b = -4 and c = 5

( -4) ^2 - 4(7) ( 5)

16 - 140

-124

In Walmart parking, there are 175 vehicles parked joe figures out that 64% of the vehicles are white. How many vehicles are NOT
aksik [14]

Answer:

63 vehicles are not white

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you know that there are 175 total vehicles, and that 64% of those vehicles are white.  Therefore the remaining percentage of vehicles must not be white.

100%-64%=36%

This means that 36% of the vehicles aren't white.

Now you must find what 36% of 175 is.  The word "of" always signals for multiplication, which is exactly what you need to do here.  First start by converting the percentage into decimal form:

36%=0.36

Now you can multiply

175 x 0.36 = 63

63 Vehicles are not white

Answer:

C. x > -7 and x <= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 < x + 4 <= 7

Subtract 4 from the three expressions.

-7 < x <= 3

-7 < x means x > -7.

Then you have x <= 3.

Answer: C. x > -7 and x <= 3

The area of a baseball field bounded by home plate, first base, second base, and third base is a square. If a player at first ba
Andru [333]
Well the question doesnt show any number for a side or anything but we can solve this with algebra if we say that a side from one base to next has a length of x. so we know each side has length x and that the shape they make is square. This means we are only searching for the diagonal of a square.

remember that a diagonal forms and isoscoles right triangle with the 2 sides being equal and the diagonal as the hypotenuse. Using the pythagoream theorem we can say that
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

we said all side lengths are x so we can put x in for a and b and get

x^2 + x^2 = c^2

2x^2 = c^2

c = x * squareroot(2)

that is the basic fundamental answer that will always work when working with diagonals of squares.

so if the length between bases is 90 ft, we could plug this in and get
c = 90 ft * squareroot(2)
c = 127.28 ft
