The formula for the discriminant is the square root of b^2 - 4ac
8x^2+18x-5= 0
a = 8, b=18, c= -5
Square root of 324 +160
Square root of 484 = 22 The discriminant is 22
Answer:
60
The angle acute so my guess is 60
Hope this helps :)
If I understand your question well, I suppose you mean
Notice the following pattern:
2 - 0 = 2
6 - 2 = 4
12 - 6 = 6
20 - 12 = 8
It's reasonable to assume that consecutive terms in the sequence differ by increasing multiples of 2, so that for the next number (call it x) we expect to see
x - 20 = 10 ==> x = 30
and for the number after that (call it y) we would see
y - x = y - 30 = 12 ==> y = 42
To solve this, do 8 division 6, the answer should be 1.3333...
if you convert that to a fraction, it should be 1 1/3
