the discriminant b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0
13x^2-16x = x^2 -x
we need to get in it the standard form
subtract x^2 from each side
12x^2 -16x = -x
add x to each side
12x^2 -15x = 0
12x^2 -15x -0 =0
a=12 b=-15 c=0
b^2 -4ac
the discriminant = b^2
b^2 = (-15)2 = 225
It would be 20 percent, I believe. First you would put it into a fraction of 12\60, then you would simplify that into 3\15 then divide as shown. You end up with .2 which would be 20 percent.
Let's make "x" the variable for Maria's age.
And since Maria's father is 20 years older than Maria:
Age of Maria's Father = x + 20.
The awnser is (-1+3/x-3/x2+1/x3 )
Answer:
There are 6,296 children at the carnival
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of each group of people can be expressed as;
Number of boys (b)+number of adults (a)=7,052
b+a=7,052....equation 1
Number of girls (g)=Number of adults (a)-756
g=a-756....equation 2
But Number of girls (g)=number of boys (b)
Replacing the value of b in equation 1 with that of g in equation 2;
(a-756)+a=7,052
a+a=7,052+756
2 a=7,808
a=7,808/2
a=3,904
Replace the value of a in equation 2 with 3,904
g=3,904-756
g=3,148
But since g=b
g=b=3,148
b=3,148
Total number of children=Total number of boys (b)+total number of girls (g)
Total number of children=b+g
where;
b=3,148
g=3,148
replacing;
Total number of children=(3,148+3,148)=6,296
There are 6,296 children at the carnival
