What is the value of the discriminant, b2-4ac, for the quadratic equation 0=x^2-4x+5, and what does it mean about the number of

real solutions the equation has

Mathematics

Answer:

-4, no real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

b^2 is 16 since b is -4

4ac = 4*1*5 = 20

16 - 20 is -4

no real solutions since you cant get the squareroot out of a negative number (at least not real numbers)

the sum of three numbers is 55. the second number is twice the first and the third number is five less than the second. What are
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Let the first number be = x

Then the second number = 2x

The third number = 2x - 5

Their sum = 55

This can be written in an equation as =

x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55

= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )

= x + 2x + 2x = 60

= 5x = 60

= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )

= x = 12

The first number = x = 12

The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24

The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .

Triangle abc is an isosceles right triangle. What is the measure of one base angle? 30ş 45ş 60ş 90ş.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

  45°

Step-by-step explanation:

The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. If x is the measure of the base angles, this requires ...

  x = 90-x . . . . . the base angle is congruent to the other base angle

  2x = 90 . . . . . add x

  x = 90/2 = 45 . . . . divide by 2

The measure of a base angle of an isosceles right triangle is 45°.

__

It can be useful to remember this fact.

The height and radius of a cone are each multiplied by 3. What effect does this have
Black_prince [1.1K]

The volume of the original cone is multiplied by 27

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

We have been given that the height and radius of a cone are each multiplied by 3.

We need to find what effect it has on the volume of the cone.

<em><u>The volume of the original cone is given as follows:</u></em>

\text {Volume of cone}=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h

Now, the radius and height are multiplied by 3.

Therefore, the new radius is ‘3r’ and the new height is ‘3h’.

Hence the new volume is  

\text {Volume of new cone}=\frac{1}{3} \pi(3 r)^{2}(3 h)=9 \pi r^{2} h

original volume of cone x 27 = volume of new cone

Therefore, the original volume of cone is multiplied by 27
