Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
You can perform the "line test." If it is a function, there will not be two x's of the same value. In this case, x is 2,6,-1. No number repeats, thus making a function.
Hi there!
When we have an equation standard form...

...the formula of the discriminant is
D = b^2 - 4ac
When
D > 0 we have two real solutions
D = 0 we have one real solutions
D < 0 we don't have real solutions
1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of
x^2-8x+7=0
Plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant

D > 0 and therefore we have two real solutions.
2.) Find the value of the discriminant and the number of real solutions of
2x^2+4x+2=0
Again, plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant.

D = 0 and therefore we have one real solution.
~ Hope this helps you.
Answer:
<h2>
first piece: 5 in</h2><h2>
second piece: 10 in</h2><h2>
third piece: 32 in </h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
x - the length of the <u>first piec</u>e
2x - twice the length of the first piece (the length of the <u>second piece</u>)
6x - six times the length of the first piece
two inches more:
6x+2 - the length of the <u>third piec</u>e
first + second + third = 47 in {total length of the pieces of steel}
x + 2x + 6x + 2 = 47
9x + 2 = 47
9x = 45
x = 45:9
x = 5 in
first piece: 5 in
second piece: 2×5 = 10 in
third piece: 6×5 + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32 in
Answer:
45.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-2=180
4x=182
x=45.5
