Answer:

150 students were not accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio right now is 2 to 5 you would need to find an equal ratio with 250 as the second number. 5 is a factor of 250 because if you do 5 x 50 you get 250. So you would multiply 2 by 50 as well which is 100. The ratio is 100 to 250 with 100 being the students being accepted and 250 being the total number of people that applied. Though the question is asking for those that did <em>not</em> pass. If 100 people passed then everyone else out of 250 didn't and 250 - 100 is 150.

What is 6x^2-2x+1=0 plz help
Kazeer [188]
6x^2 - 2x + 1 is a quadratic formula from the form ax^2 + bx + c. This form of equation represents a parabola.
Finding 6x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0, means that you need to find the zeroes of the equation.
Δ = b^2 - 4ac
If Δ>0, the equation admits 2 zeroes and 6x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0 exists for 2 values of x.
If Δ<0, the equation doesn't admit any zero, and 6x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0 doesn't exist since the parabola doesn't intersect with the axe X'X
If Δ=0, the equation admits 1 zero, which means that the peak of the parabola is touching the axe X'X.

In 6x^2 - 2x + 1, a=6, b=-2, and c =1.
Δ= b^2 - 4ac
Δ=(-2)^2 - 4(6)(1)
Δ= 4 - 24
Δ= -20
Δ<0 so the parabola doesn't intersect with the Axe X'X, which means there's no solution for 6x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0.

I've added a picture of the parabola represented by this equation under the answer.

Hope this Helps! :)
