Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key here is the "discriminant." That's b^2 - 4ac, where a, b and c are the coefficients of the quadratic.

If the discriminant turns out to be positive, we have two real, different roots.

If the discriminant turns out to be zero, we have two real, equal roots.

Finally, if the discriminant turns out to be negative, we have two complex, different roots.

Just supposing that a = 1 and b = 2, the discriminant would be

2^2 - 4(1)c. Set this equal to 0 and solve for c: 4 - 4c = 0, or c = 1. If c is greater than 1, the discriminant will be negative and we will have two comlex, different roots.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: $\dfrac{x}{10}-y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days.

i.e. Total earning in 10 days = x

Earning per day = $\dfrac{x}{10}$ [By unitary method] (1)

Money spent per day =y (2)

We know that

$\text{Savings = Money earned - Money spent}$

i.e. Subtract (2) from (1), we get

$\text{Savings = }\dfrac{x}{10}-y$

Hence, the expression to determine how many pesos he saved per day will be:-

$\dfrac{x}{10}-y$

Answer:

The mean will increase more than the median, but both will increase.

[third option listed]

Step-by-step explanation:

the median of a data set is the number in the middle [when listed from lowest to highest in value]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

is the current median

let's consider what adding 12 would mean--it would mean that we move the median slightly higher [further along in the data set] because there are more numbers (but let's try this out to confirm:)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 12 13

[if a median placement is shared between two numbers, the mean/average of those two numbers is taken, and that is considered to be the median]

so, 7.5 is the current median

(this is an increase of 0.5)

the mean of a data set is what we commonly refer to as the "average"

[you find this value by adding all of the numbers in the data set together and dividing by the number of terms in the data set]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

mean of original data set:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 [= 91]

_______________________________________

[91 ÷ 13 = 7]

because our number is greater than our original mean [12 > 7], we know that the mean must increase:

[91 + 12 = 103]

[103 ÷ 14 ≈ 9.36]

[we had an increase of 2.36]

so, median increased by 0.5, mean increased by 2.36

so, both values increased, whilst the mean increased by more than the median [as to be expected]

you could also express this as "The mean will increase more than the median, but both will increase." [third option listed]

hope this helps!! :)
