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

Answer:

new price= $2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

20%= 20/100= 1/5

$3.00/5= 00.60

1/5 of the price is being subtracted from $3.00

$00.60 is 1/5

3.00-.60= 2.40

Answer:

  1. rectangle; parallelogram with 90° angle
  2. 150 feet
  3. $40 flat rate

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope of AB is ...

  mAB = (yB-yA)/(xB-xA) = (4-0)/(6-3) = 4/3

The slope of AD is ...

  mAD = (yD-yA)/(xD-xA) = (6-0)/(-5-3) = 6/-8 = -3/4

The product of these slopes is (4/3)(-3/4) = -1, so the segments AB and AD are perpendicular.

The midpoints of AC and BD will be the same if the sum of their coordinates is the same:

  A+C = (3, 0) +(-2, 10) = (1, 10)

  B+D = (6, 4) +(-5, 6) = (1, 10)

The midpoints of the diagonals of ABCD are the same, so the figure is a parallelogram. One corner angle is 90°, so the parallelogram is a rectangle. The quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

__

2.  Using the coordinate differences found in part 1, we know the length AB is the hypotenuse of a 3-4-5 triangle, so is 5 grid squares. Similarly, the length of AD is twice that length, so is 10 grid squares. The perimeter in grid squares is ...

  P = 2(L+W) = 2(10+5) = 30 . . . . grid squares

Each grid square represents 5 ft, so the perimeter is ...

  (30 squares)(5 ft/square) = 150 ft . . . perimeter

__

3. The rectangle is 5 × 10 grid squares, or 25 × 50 ft. Then its area is ...

  A = LW = (50 ft)(25 ft) = 1250 ft²

At $0.03/ft², the payment for mowing would be ...

  ($0.03/ft²)(1250 ft²) = $37.50

The $40 flat rate would make you the most money.
