Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is been considered that Discriminant is calculated by the following formula:
D = b*b - 4 * a * c
In order to simplify the calculations we can divide all the numbers by 2 and we will have the same quadratic equation:
-x^2 -4x+4=0
and as usual quadratic equation is presented as the following:
ax^2 - bx + c = 0
so in our case a = -1; b = -4; c = 4;
Then D = -4*4 -4*(-1) * 4 = -16+16 = 0
I am not quite understanding the following phrase:
"and what does it value mean about the number about the number"
but if the question was in regards of the following number '-2x^2' so number ^2 is actually the value of power so 'x' is multiplied on it is own and this equation basically means the following:
-2x^2 = -2 * (x) * (x)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The father is 37 years and the son is 7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the present age of the father.
Let y represent the present age of the son.
Three years hence a father will four times as old as his son will be. This means that
x + 3 = 4(y + 3)
x + 3 = 4y + 12
x - 4y = 12 - 3
x - 4y = 9- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Before two years he was seven times as old as his son was. This means that
(x - 2) = 7(y - 2)
x - 2 = 7y - 14
x - 7y = - 14 + 2
x - 7y = - 12- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
3y = 21
y = 21.3 = 7
Substituting y = 7 into equation 1, it becomes
x - 4 × 7 = 9
x - 28 = 9
x = 9 + 28
x = 37
Combine like terms and do the exponent first then for the decimals use a calculator
