What is the value of the discriminant for the quadratic equation zero equals 2x^2+x-3

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Discriminant for the quadratic equation $2x^2+x-3=0$ is $d=25$

How to find the d Discriminant of the quadratic equation ?

We know that the standard quadratic equation

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

Discriminant of the equation is $d=b^2-4ac$

Equation given in the question is

$2x^2+x-3=0$

So we can find the values of $a,b,c$

$a=2\\b=1\\c=-3$

Substitute the values

$d=1^2-4*2*(-3)\\d=1+24\\d=25$

3g2+4g+1=0 solve for g

gulaghasi [49]

- - Lets solve for G.

Keep in mind: G is acting as a unknown variable, commonly used as "x"
So we need to find the variable, and then we solve for g until we get "0" for our problem.
Okay so lets start off by factoring our equation, in this case you do left first.

$3g+1*g+1=0$
Alright, now we can set out "o" as the equal to all of our factors.
$g+1=0$
And now you need to solve for that,
And you get -1 for our answer.

Final answer: g=-1

Diff. / Original amount= % of increase or decrease

V125BC [204]

Answer:

% increase = $\frac{\text{ Increased number -Original number }}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\%$

% decrease = $\frac{\text{ Original number - Decreased number }}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage Increase:

Let there be an original number. If it increased to a certain value we can calculate the percentage increase value with the help of following formula:

% increase = $\frac{\text{ Increased number -Original number }}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\%$

Percentage Decrease:

Let there be an original number. If it decreases to a certain value we can calculate the percentage decrease with the help of following formula:

% decrease = $\frac{\text{ Original number - Decreased number }}{\text{Original number}} \times 100\%$

The measure of an angle is 6°. What is the measure of its complementary angle?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

84 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define what a complementary angle is. It's when two angles add up to 90 degrees. So we do 90-6=84 and 84+6 does in fact equal 90, so they are complementary.
