Newborn = 18 inches
adult boa = 9 * 18 + 2 = 164 inches
Since all the information is given, then merely put the necessary facts in order.
Had the length of the newborn been unknown, it would have been represented by x.
9x + 2 = 164
9x = 164 - 2
9x = 162
9x/9 = 162/9
x = 18
The <em>quadratic</em> equation 3 · x² + 7 · x - 2 = 0 has a <em>positive</em> discriminant. Thus, the expression has two <em>distinct real</em> roots (<em>real</em> and <em>irrational</em> roots).
<h3>How to determine the characteristics of the roots of a quadratic equation by discriminant</h3>
Herein we have a <em>quadratic</em> equation of the form a · x² + b · x + c = 0, whose discriminant is:
d = b² - 4 · a · c (1)
There are three possibilities:
- d < 0 - <em>conjugated complex</em> roots.
- d = 0 - <em>equal real</em> roots (real and rational root).
- d > 0 - <em>different real</em> roots (real and irrational root).
If we know that a = 3, b = 7 and c = - 2, then the discriminant is:
d = 7² - 4 · (3) · (- 2)
d = 49 + 24
d = 73
The <em>quadratic</em> equation 3 · x² + 7 · x - 2 = 0 has a <em>positive</em> discriminant. Thus, the expression has two <em>distinct real</em> roots (<em>real</em> and <em>irrational</em> roots).
