Hello!
In math, there is always something called the discriminant. This is represented by the equation
, when a quadratic =
. The discriminant tells you what roots an equation has. A discriminant of over 0 represents 2 real roots, a discriminant of 0 = 1 real root, and a discriminant of <0 is 0 real roots (2 complex roots)
Now, substitute in the values and solve. In this equation, a = 5, b = 2, c = 1.




Therefore, the discriminant is -16. This means that the equation has no real roots, and has 2 complex roots. Therefore, your answer is D.
Hope this helps!
Answer: -8/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
slope is zero equation is y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
since there is no change in y and they cancel out so you just 0.
Answer:
The intercepts are -5 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the zero product property
f(x)=(x+5)(x-2)
0 =(x+5)(x-2)
0 = (x+5) 0=(x-2)
x = -5 x = 2
The intercepts are -5 and 2
2/5
Since 12 out of 30 marbles were black, you can assume that the percentage of black marbles in the bag is 40% (Ex: 12/30=.4) The probability that the marble you pick is black is equal to the percentage of black marbles in the bag. 40% is equal to 2/5.
