These are two questions and two answers:
Question 1:
<span>A
quadratic equation is shown below: 3x^2 − 15x + 20 = 0 Part A: Describe
the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show
your work.
Answer: </span><span>The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Explanation:
1) With radicand the statement means the disciminant of the quadratic function.
2) The discriminant is: b² - 4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation: ax² + bx + c
3) Then, for 3x² - 15x + 20, a = 3, b = - 15, and c = 20
and the discriminant (radicand) is: (-15)² - 4(3)(20) = 225 - 240 = - 15.
4) The negative value of the radicand means that the equation does not have real solutions.
Question 2:
Part B: Solve 3x^2 + 5x − 8 = 0 by using an appropriate
method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the
method used.
Answer: </span> two solutions x = 1 and x = - 8/3x
Explanation:
1) I choose factoring (you may use the quadratic formula if you prefer)
2) Factoring
Given: 3x² + 5x − 8 = 0
Make 5x = 8x - 3x: 3x² + 8x - 3x - 8 = 0
Group: (3x² - 3x) + (8x - 8) = 0
Common factors for each group: 3x(x -1) + 8(x - 1) = 0
Coomon factor x - 1: (x - 1) (3x + 8) = 0
The two solutions are for each factor equal to zero:
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
3x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = -8/3
Those are the two solutions. x = 1 and x = - 8/3
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
The Side-Angle-Side rule of congruence
two triangles are congruent if two sides and one included angle in a given triangle are equal to the corresponding two sides and one included angle in another triangle.
Answer:
1. you start with $ 3 and save $1 each month
2. your total savings is 3 times the number of month multiplied by itself
3. you save $3 the first month and then each month the amount triples
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
as y axis represents savings while x axis represents months
the statement "you start with $ 3 and save $1 each month"
is best described by the graph of straight line having slope of 1 and intercept of 3.
2. your total savings is 3 times the number of month multiplied by itself
= 3(x)(x)
= 3x^2
3. as y axis represents savings while x axis represents months
the statement "you save $3 the first month and then each month the amount triples" is best described by the exponential graph starting to rise from point (1,3) which means $3 save at 1 month.

Answer: The probability of drawing a heart out of the deck is 13/52, or 1/4. The probability of drawing an even number as card #2 (c∈{2,4,6,8,10}) for any suit is 20/51, except when the first card drawn is an even heart, then the probability of the second draw is 19/51.
