Answer:
Put the equation in standard form by bringing the 4x + 1 to the left side.
7x2 - 4x - 1 = 0
We use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. The discriminant is the expression underneath the radical in the quadratic formula: b2 - 4ac.
b2 - 4ac In this case, a = 7, b = -4, and c = -1
(-4)2 - 4(7)(-1)
16 + 28 = 44
Now here are the rules for determining the nature of the roots:
(1) If the discriminant = 0, then there is one real root (this omits the ± from the quadratic formula, leaving only one possible solution)
(2) If the discriminant > 0, then there are two real roots (this keeps the ±, giving you two solutions)
(3) If the discriminant < 0, then there are two imaginary roots (this means there is a negative under the radical, making the solutions imaginary)
44 > 0, so there are two real roots
Answer:
90 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
320 (1/8) = 40
3/4 (40) = 30 yards
1 yard = 3 feet
30 (3) = 90 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is,
x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p
x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0
x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0
Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,
1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]
2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]
3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].
Discriminant of the given equation = 
For real roots,

p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0
p² - 6p + 21 > 0
For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
Answer:
a. 
b. x ≠ -5 (Vertical asymptote) and x ≠ 5 (Hole)
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the numerator (Grouping):
Two numbers that multiply to -30 and add to -7 = -3 and 10
![[2x^2 - 10x] + [3x - 15]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B2x%5E2%20-%2010x%5D%20%2B%20%5B3x%20-%2015%5D)

Factor the denominator (Difference of Two Squares):
= 
Factored Expression:
(x - 5) can be factored out of top and bottom as a hole-

Variable Restrictions:
Denominator ≠ 0

Vertical asymptote at x = -5 ⇒ x ≠ -5
A represents a function
This is the way
