How many times does X squared minus 4X -12 cross the X axis

Mathematics
1 answer:
kolbaska11 [484]3 years ago
4 0

We can solve this problem using discriminant.

x^2-4x-12's discriminant is

(-4)^2-4*-12=16+48 which is clearly larger than 0

This means that it crosses over the axes 2 times.

In case you don't know what discriminant is, its in equation ax^2+bx+c

the discriminant is b^2-4ac.

If its positive it has 2 crosses with x axis, if negative then 0 crosses, if 0 then 1 cross.

Hope this helped at least a little bit :D

This is rlly easy but Im to lazy to do it- I mark brainliest.
kkurt [141]

Answers:

A.   6 Large taxis = 42 seats 9 Small taxis = 36 seats = 78  seats in total

  B.  6 Large taxis =  $498 + 9 Small taxis = $450     498+450= $948

   

    C.  5 Large taxis and 10 Small taxis

Step-by-step explanation:

A.   6 Large taxis = 42 seats 9 Small taxis = 36 seats = 78  seats in total

If I did 8 small taxis the total number of seats would be 74, so I did one small taxi more to make it fair. There would be seats for everyone but 3 seats extra

  B.  6 Large taxis =  $498 + 9 Small taxis = $450     498+450=948

   

    C.  5 Large taxis and 10 Small taxis

While the more small taxis there are, the more cheaper it is for Max but the less seats there would be for 75 people, So I did 1 more small taxi and 1 less large taxi.

The total number of seats now is 75 seats which is perfect amount for 75 people

So the total cheaper cost would $915 while still maintaining a fair amount of seats which is 75

I need the answer fast
Fantom [35]

Answer:

B. What was the highest temperature this month?

Step-by-step explanation:

Rory is recording the <em>high</em><em>est</em><em> temperature</em> for the duration of the day for month's worth of data.

B. is the easiest one to answer, as you simply will have to look for the greatest number within the set, and that will be the answer.

A. is too broad, and does not imply that only the "high temperature" is needed, rather just a leveled temperature within day in that month.

C. is the opposite of what Rory had recorded, and without data, he cannot answer it.

D. is answerable as well, but, again, the only temperature recorded is the high temperature. Temperature can fluctuate depending on the time of the day, and can be in the 50s one hour and the 90s in another.

Identify the axis of symmetry and vertex of f(x) = –2x2 –2x–1.
Leya [2.2K]

<span>Given the quadratic equation: f(x) = -2x^2 - 2x - 1, the axis of symmetry can be obtained by finding the line that divides the function into two congruent or identical halves. Thus, it should pass through the vertex and is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex. </span>

<span>Note that a quadratic equation in standard form: y = ax^2 + bx + c, has the vertex located at (h,k) where, h = -b/2a and k is determined by evaluating y at h. In this case, a = -2, b = -2, thus, h = -0.5, k = 0.5. Thus, the vertex is located at (-0.5, 0.5) and the axis of symmetry is at x = -0.5. </span>
