Answer:
When a graph has 2 x-intercepts, it will have positive discriminant & when a graph has NO x-intercepts, it will have negative discriminant.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a quadratic equation, the discriminant is the value of . This is "under the square root sign" when solving using quadratic formula.
Thus, there can be 3 possibilities:
1. Discriminant is 0 ( 2 equal real roots - meaning 1 touching point at the x-axis in the graph)
2. Discriminant can be positive ( 2 distinct real roots - meaning 2 cutting point in the x axis)
3. Discriminant can be negative ( 2 complex roots - meaning NO cutting point in x-axis)
Thus, when a graph has 2 x-intercepts, it will have positive discriminant & when a graph has NO x-intercepts, it will have negative discriminant.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we have a regular octagonal barrier (That means that all the length side are equal)
Find out the perimeter of the barrier
The perimeter is equal to
where
b is the length side of the barrier
we have
substitute in the formula of perimeter
