Hello!
The discriminant of quadratic functions is: b² - 4ac. Since the equation is in standard form, which is Ax² + Bx + C = 0 , we can substitute those values into our discriminant and simplify.
The value of the discriminant will tell us how many solutions there are to the given quadratic equation.
A positive discriminant will have two real solutions.
A discriminant of zero will have one real solution.
A negative discriminant will no real solutions.
1. Substitute, a = 16, b = 8, c = 1.
8² - 4(16)(1)
64 - 4(16)(1)
64 - 64(1)
64 - 64
0
Since the discriminant is zero, the answer is choice A, double root, because since it is raised to the power of 2, it must has two roots, but in this case, both of the roots the same x-values.
Answer: B and D
Step-by-step explanation:
First, solve the terms inside of the parenthesis. As a general rule, whenever you multiply two terms that have the same base, you can add their exponents.
Applying this rule, the base in the problem is 6, and the exponents are 3 and -4. The sum of 3 and -4 leaves -1. Therefore, this is one of our solutions:
When you have an exponential term raised to another exponent, you can simply multiply the exponents. In the previous solution given above, multiply -1 and -3 to get 3. Therefore our second solution is:
The two values are positive 9 and negative 9
Answer:
x = 18
m∠HCB = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of angle FBC is 8x and the measure of angle HCB is 2x. If you add the measures of both angles it will equal to 180 degrees. This can be represented in an equation:
8x + 2x = 180
10x = 180
Divide both sides of the equation by 10 to isolate the x:
10x/10 = 180/10
x = 18
Now that we know the value of x, we can find the measure of angle HCB:
2x
2(18)
36
The measure of angle HCB is 36.
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
5 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
12x+40=15x+25
Subtract 12x from each side
12x-12x+40=15x-12x+25
40 = 3x +25
Subtract 25 from each side
40-25 = 3x+25-25
15 =3x
Divide by 3
15/3 =3x/3
5 = x
