Answer:

$13$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=3 {x}^{2} +5x+1$

The discriminant of a quadratic is the expression inside the radical of the quadratic formula.

${b}^{2} - 4(ac)$

Substitute in the values of a, b, and c.

${5}^{2} - 4(3 \times 1)$

Evaluate the result to find the discriminant.

Simplify each term.

Raise 5 to the power of 2.

$25 - 4(3 \times 1)$

Multiply 3 by 1.

$25 - 4 \times 3$

Multiply −4 by 3.

25−12

Subtract 12 from 25.

For which pair of functions is the vertex of k(x)7 units below the vertex of f(x)?

kvv77 [185]

Answer: Option C

$f(x) = x^2;\ k (x) = x ^ 2 -7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we have a main function f(x) and we want to transform the graph of f(x) by moving it vertically then we apply the transformation:

$k (x) = f (x) + b$

If $b> 0$ then the graph of k(x) will be the graph of f(x) displaced vertically b units down.

If $b> 0$ then the graph of k(x) will be the graph of f(x) displaced vertically b units upwards.

In this case we have

$f (x) = x ^ 2$

We know that this function has its vertex in point (0,0).

Then, to move its vertex 7 units down we apply the transformation:

$k (x) = f (x) - 7\\\\k (x) = x ^ 2 -7$ .

Then the function k(x) that will have its vertex 7 units below f(x) is

$k (x) = x ^ 2 -7$

Multiplying a trinomial by a trinomial follows the same steps as multiplying a binomial by a trinomial. Determine the degree and

charle [14.2K]

To determine the degree of the product of the given trinomials, you would multiply the term with the highest degree of each trinomial together. Both trinomials are degree 2, and when you multiply x2 by x2, you add the exponents to get x4. Thus, the degree of the product is 4. If the product is degree 4, and there is only one variable, the maximum number of terms is 5. There can be an x4 term, an x3 term, an x2 term, an x term, and a constant term.
