A. Is not linear because is has no y
How this helped ya out! :D
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
The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.
.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5
___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.
