Answer:
29) discriminant is positive
30) discriminant is 0
31) discriminant is negative
Step-by-step explanation:
the graph of a quadratic function y=ax^2 + bx + c is shown. Tell whether the discriminant of ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is positive, negative, or zero.
In the graph of question number 29 we can see that the graph intersects the x axis at two points
so the equation has 2 solutions.
When the equation has two solution then the discriminant is positive
In the graph of question number 30 we can see that the graph intersects the x axis at only one point
so the equation has only 1 solution.
When the equation has only one solution then the discriminant is equal to 0
In the graph of question number 30 we can see that the graph does not intersects the x axis
so the equation has 2 imaginary solutions.
When the equation has two imaginary solutions then the discriminant is negative
Answer:
Part 1) The domain of the quadratic function is the interval (-∞,∞)
Part 2) The range is the interval (-∞,1]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)
step 1
Find the domain
The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of x
The domain of the quadratic function is the interval
(-∞,∞)
All real numbers
step 2
Find the range
The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of y, after we have substituted the domain.
we have a vertical parabola open downward
The vertex is a maximum
Let
(h,k) the vertex of the parabola
so
The range is the interval
(-∞,k]
Find the vertex

Factor -1 the leading coefficient

Complete the square


Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point (7,1)
therefore
The range is the interval
(-∞,1]
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the two polygons are similar, one property of similar polygons is that if one were to multiply each side length by a certain number (referred to as the ratio of similitude), they would get the side length of the corresponding side on the other polygon. To find the ratio one has to divide the side length of one polygon by its corresponding side length in the other polygon.
30 ÷ 25 = 1.2
Set up an equation by multiplying one side length by the ratio of similitude, set it equal to its corresponding side length in the other polygon;
1.2 (35) = 4x + 10
Simplify,
42 = 4x + 10
Inverse operations,
42 = 4x + 10
32 = 4x
8 = x
