X2+5x-2=0
a=1, b=5, c=-2

b2-4ac is the discriminant.
(5^2)-4(1)(-2)
25+8=33, so the discriminant is positive

This means there are two real rational roots, so the answer is the second option

<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Given the equation.

2 =  {x}^{2}  + 5x

  • Arrange the expression into the standard form.

0 =  {x}^{2}  + 5x - 2 \\  {x}^{2}  + 5x - 2 = 0

  • Discriminant

From the standard form equation and from the given equation.

a {x}^{2}  + bx + c = 0 \\ a = 1 \:  \:  \: b = 5 \:  \:  \: c =  - 2

<u>Discriminant</u><u /><u> </u><u>Formula</u>

<u>D =  {b}^{2}  - 4ac</u>

Substitute the value of terms in the discriminant formula.

D =  {(5)}^{2}  - 4(1)(  - 2) \\ D = 25 - 4( - 2) \\ D = 25 + 8 \\ D = 33

<u>Discriminant</u><u> </u><u>Types</u>

D > 0 \:  \:  \:  \: 2 \:  \: real \:  \: roots \\ D = 0 \:  \:  \:  \: 1 \:  \: real \:  \: root \\ D < 0 \:  \:  \: imaginary \:  \: roots

We can rule out the Imaginary root and double root because the discriminant is greater than 0. Therefore, the only choices are either Irrational or Rational.

However, we cannot factor the expression by using two brackets or common factor. We can say that the equation has two real irrational roots.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>
  • real and irrational root

The function g(x) is the transformation of the function f(x). Decide how f(x) was transformed to make g(x).
yan [13]

Answer:

Correct option: A -> Horizontal or vertical reflection

Step-by-step explanation:

We can observe that the value of x in f(x) gives a value that is the same value we have in g(x) with the value -x.

That is, x = 1 in f(x) gives the same result as x = -1 in g(x)

So this means that these functions are a reflex of each other in relation to the y-axis, as the x values of one have the same result as (-x) values for the other one.

So the correct option is A: Horizontal or vertical reflection

(It is a horizontal reflection)

The function T(n) is defined below. Which of the following are equal to T(8)? Check all that apply.
Liula [17]
In function T(n), in which n = 8, plug in 8 for n

T(n) = 4n - 5
T(8) = 4(8) - 5

multiply 4 and 8

4(8) = 32

T(8) = 32 - 5

Simplify

T(8) = 27

27, or C) is your answer.
