The quadratic formula, has a part we call the "discriminant" defined by the variables that are inside the square root, and is denotated by "delta":
<span>Δ=<span>b2</span>−4ac</span>
Whenever we solve a quadratic equation that is complete and we analyze the discriminant, we can get 3 scenarios:
<span>if→Δ>0<span>=></span>∃<span>x1</span>,<span>x2</span>/a<span>x2</span>+bx+c=0</span>
This just means: "if the discriminant is greater than zero, there will exist two x-intercepts"
And for the second scenario:
<span>if→Δ=0→∃<span>xo</span>/a<span>x2</span>+bx+c=0</span>
This means: "if the discriminant is equal to zero, there will be one and only one x-intercept"
And for the last scenario:
<span>if→Δ<0→∃x∉R/a<span>x2</span>+bx+c=0</span>
This means that :"if the discriminant is less than zero, there will be no x-intercepts"
So, if we take your excercise and analyze the the discriminant:
<span>3<span>x2</span>+7x+m=y</span>
we will find the values that satisfy y=0 :
<span>3<span>x2</span>+7x+m=0</span>
And we'll analyze the discriminant:
<span>Δ=<span>72</span>−4(3)(m)</span>
And we are only interested in the values that make the discriminant equal zero:
<span><span>72</span>−4(3)(m)=0</span>
All you have to do is solve for "m".
I am not good with this math either so my guess would be to choose C for all numbers shown are positive

B) JOEY: 5p+2t=28
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3
x = -2
These are the solutions after elimination
Answer:
4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we find how much fits into one inch of soil. We do this by multiplying 4 by 3. This equals 12. For every 12 cubic inches, the soil will be one inch deep. We divide 48 by 12 to see how many inches deep is it. This equals 4. The soil is 4 inches deep.
