Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac, where a, b and c come from the form of the quadratic equation as ax^2 + bx + c
Discriminant = (4)^2 - 4(1)(5)
= 16 - 20
= -4
-4 < 0, therefor there are no roots
(If the discriminant = 0, then there is one root
If the discriminant > 0, there are two roots, and if it is a perfect square (eg. 4, 9, 16, etc.) then there are two rational roots
If the discriminant < 0, there are no roots)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: 20 shows $20 which Cory earns by mowing one lawn. 9 shows $9 which he earns by trimming one hedge. x shows the number of lawns. y shows the number of hedges. Part B: There are two terms in this expression. 20x which shows the total earning of Cory by mowing lawns. 9y which shows his earning by trimming hedges. It can be judged by the description of rates explained in part A. Part C: From explanation given in Part C, we can easily see that the expression 9y is used for the total earned from trimming hedges.
(6)^-2 Is equivalent to 1/36
Answer:
$102.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets take this one part at a time.
the dealership pays 12000 for the car, so they start at -12000 for how much money they have.
The dealership wants to make a 32% profit. This means they want to make back the 12000 plus 32% of that. what is 32% of 12000? just multiply 12000 bty .32 In the end it works out that the price they sell it for is 15840
I do want to mention that there is a chance the 32% might also be accounting the bonus. So in other words the dealership spent 12000 for the car then however much in paying the bonus, and they want to make a 32% profit on both of these combined. I do not think that is what it is asking for, but I wanted to mention it.
Anyway, with a sales price of $15,840 it says the bonus is 6.5% of that. to find that just do the multiplication .065 * 15840 = 1029.60. So this is the bonus normally.
Now the question says the salesperson offers a 10 percent discount. This changes the sales price (by 10%) and the bonus they earn. let's calculate both.
First 10% discount of the sales price is .9*15840 = 14,256
Then 6.5% of that is .065*14256 = 926.64 So this is the new bonus.
The question wants the difference of the two bonuses, and difference is subtraction. so 1029.60 - 926.64 = 102.96 So if the salesperson offers a 10% discount they lose $102.96
To answer this you need to read the stem and leaf lot and determine how many values were over 28., Or how many were less than or at 28 and subtract it from 30.
There are 10 teams at 28 or less, so 20 teams are above 28.
The number to the left of the | tells us the tens place of the set of number that come after it.
For example 2|4 7 8 stands for 24, 27, and 28.
If 20 out of 30 were above 28 homeruns, then your probability is 20/30 or 2/3 or 0.667.
