Answer:
Second : 1/6 x + 47
Third : 1 2/3 x + 35 - 1 1/2 x + 12
Fourth : 5 (1/3x) + (5) (7) - (3) (1/2x) + (3) (4)
Step-by-step explanation:
I would start by expanding the expression, showing each step. Then, simplify by collecting like terms.
To expand, you multiply the term outside of the brackets by each term inside the brackets.
5(1/3x + 7) - 3(1/2x - 4)
= 5(1/3x) + (5)(7) - (3)(1/2x) + (3)(4) Showing how to expand
= 5/3x + 35 - 3/2x + 12 Simplified above step by multiplying
= 5/3x - 3/2x + 47 Collected like terms (35 + 12 = 47)
= 10/6x - 9/6x + 47 Change fractions to the common denominator 6
= + 47 Combine fractions with common denominator
= 1/6x + 47 Fully expanded
See which options match the steps I took to expand the original expression.
The second step is the same as option 4.
The last step is the same as option 2.
I bolded those steps that are the same.
Some options use mixed fractions (whole numbers and fractions).
From the third step, I will convert the improper fractions to mixed fractions.
5/3x + 35 - 3/2x + 12
= 1 2/3x + 35 - 1 1/2x + 12
This is the same as option 3.
On the left side, 5 goes into 3 ONE time. The ONE becomes the whole number. After 5 goes into 3, there is 2 left, which becomes the numerator.
On the left side, 3 goes into 2 ONE time. The ONE becomes the whole number. The remainder is 1, which becomes the numerator.
Complete Question:
Which statement about the following equation is true?
A) The discriminant is less than 0, so there are two real roots
B) The discriminant is less than 0, so there are two complex roots
C) The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots
D) The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two complex roots
Answer:
C) The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is which by simplification becomes
For a quadratic equation of the form , the discriminant is given by the equation,
If the discriminant D is greater than 0, the roots are real and different
If the discriminant D is equal to 0, the roots are real and equal
If the discriminant D is less than 0, the roots are imaginary
For the quadratic equation under consideration, a = 2, b = -9, c = 3
Let us calculate the discriminant D
D = (-9)² - 4(2)(3)
D = 81 - 24
D = 57
Since the Discriminant D is greater than 0, the roots are real and different.
