The discriminant is b^2 -4ac
a = 1
b = -2
c = 4
discriminant = 4 -4 * 1 * 4 =
4 -16 =
-12
I get MINUS 12 as the answer but that isn't one of the choices.
Explanation:
The common difference of this arithmetic sequence is 5. Adding 5 to an even number gives an odd number, and vice versa. Hence the "parity" of the terms in the sequence must alternate between odd and even.
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
AC=3x+3 AB=-1+2x and BC=11
AC = AB + BC
ALL THE STEPS:
3 X + 3 = - 1 + 2 X + 11
3 X + 3 = 2 X + 10
3 X + ( - 2 X ) + 3 = 2 X + ( - 2 X ) + 10
X + 3 = 10
X + 3 + ( - 3 ) = 10 + ( - 3 )
X = 7
