Y=3x²+3x+1,find the value of the discrimination
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 3
b = 3
c = 1
Discriminate = sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)
Discriminate = sqrt(9 - 4*3*1)
Discriminate = sqrt(9 - 12)
Discriminate = sqrt(-3)
What negative value means that there are no real roots and the y intercept = 1. You should always graph this kind of question, which I am doing for you. I use Desmos which is a very handy program.
You should notice that the minimum is above the x axis. That means there are no real roots, just as the discriminate tells you.

Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean of a data set is synonymous with the average. To find the mean, add up all the values in the data set and then divide by the number of elements.
From the table, there is 12 values. Thus, add up all the 12 values and then divide by 12:
Simplify:
Reduce:
Therefore, the mean of the data set is 3/4.
For the data set, this means that the average person guesses the temperature too high by about 3/4°F.
(Note: the symbol of x with a bar over it denotes the mean of a set)
