Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is used to determine the number and nature of the zeros of a quadratic. If the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, there are 2 rational zeros; if the discriminant is positive and not a perfect square, there are 2 rational complex zeros; if the discriminant is 0, there is 1 rational root; if the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots.
The roots/solutions/zeros of a quadratic are where the graph goes through the x axis. Those are the real zeros, even if they don't fall exactly on a number like 1 or 2 or 3; they can fall on 1.32, 4.35, etc. They are still real. If the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative and you can't take the square root of a negative number. As you can see on our graph, the parabola never goes through the x-axis. Therefore, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative. Choice C. Get familiar with your discriminants and the nature of quadratic solutions. Your life will be much easier!
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
2(10 -6x)=x -8x
20 - 12x = x - 8x
20 = x - 8x + 12x
20 = 5x
20 / 5 = x
x = 4
51x0.15=7.65 7.65 is the 15% of 51
Answer:
d=14 cm
r = 7 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter is 14 cm
The radius is 1/2 the diameter
r = d/2 = 14/2 = 7cm
