X= "a certain number of inches"

side a= x-3
side b= 2 inches

multiply:
Area= a(b)
A= (x-3)2
A= 2(x-3)

distribute:
A= 2(x-3)
A= (2*x) + (2*-3)
A= 2x-6


Area= 2(x-3)
Area= 2x-6

Verbal Answers: The area of the rectangle is equal to the multiple of its two sides this is equal to two inches times an expression three less than a certain number "x"<span>. Using the distributive property, we can solve this expression further to find that the area of this rectangle is also equal to six less than doubling a certain number x</span>.

Hope this helped! :)

F(x) = 4x^2+2x+6 what is the discriminant of f? How many distinct real number zeros does f have?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The discriminant of f is 92, and it has no real zeros

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic is b^2-4ac, where the quadratic is in the form ax^2+bx+c. The discriminant of this one is therefore:

2^2-4(4)(6)=4-96=-92

Since the square root of a negative number is imaginary, this quadratic has no real number zeros. Hope this helps!
