Answer:

$75

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide 1,000 by 20 which gives you 50

Then Multiply 50 by $1.50 to get $75

A line passes through the points (0, -2) and (0, 5). Is it possible to write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form? ju

Feliz [49]

Consider what the slope of this line would be. Slope is rise/run; this line rises 7 (5 - (-2)) and runs 0 (0 - 0). This means that the slope would be 7/0. Dividing by zero is not possible, therefore, it cannot be written in slope-intercept form.

Use the discriminant to determine the number of solutions to the quadratic equation 3x^2+5x=-1

Answer:

Two real distinct solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Background of the Discriminant

The discriminant $b^2-4ac$ applies to quadratic equations when they are organised in standard form: $ax^2+bx+c=0$ .

All quadratic equations can be solved with the quadratic formula: $x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}}$ .

When $b^2-4ac$ is positive, it is possible to take its square root and end up with two real, distinct values of x.

When it is zero, we won't be taking the square root at all and we will end up with two real solutions that are equal, or just one solution.

When it is negative, it is impossible to take the square root and we will end up with two non-real solutions.

Solving the Problem

$3x^2+5x=-1$

We're given the above equation. It hasn't been organised completely in $ax^2+bx+c=0$ , but we can change that by adding 1 to both sides to make the right side equal to 0:

$3x^2+5x+1=0$
