Determine the number and types of solutions for 6m^2-3m-4=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember this messy thing?

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

The <em>quadratic formula</em>, as it's called, gives us the roots to any quadratic equation in standard form (ax² + bx + c = 0). The information on the <em>type</em> of roots is contained entirely in that bit under the square root symbol (b² - 4ac), called the <em>discriminant</em>. If it's non-negative, we'll have <em>real</em> roots, if it's negative, we'll have <em>complex roots</em>.

For our equation, we have a discrimant of (-3)² - 4(6)(-4) = 9 + 96 = 105, which is non-negative, so we'll have real solutions, and since quadratics are degree 2, we'll have exactly 2 real solutions.

The lengths of a certain species of beetles are normally distributed with a mean of 1.9 centimeters and a standard deviation of
kirill [66]

Answer:

The z-score of a beetle with a length of 2.38 centimeters is 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

 

As we know,

z = (x - µ)/σ

x is the length of the beetle species.

µ is the mean length

σ is the standard deviation

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get

 

z = (2.38 - 1.9)/0.2

z = 0.48/0.2

z = 2.4

Measure (7x+1) (2x+1)
Gemiola [76]

Smaller angle = 41°

Larger angle = 139°

Step-by-step explanation:

(7x - 1) + (2x + 1) = 180

7x + 2x - 1 + 1 = 180

9x = 180

x = 20

  • The measure of the smaller angle is

2x + 1

= 2(20) + 1

= 40 + 1

<u>= 41°</u>

  • The measure of the larger angle is

7x - 1

= 7(20) - 1

= 140 - 1

<u>= 139°</u>
