Answer:
Put the equation in standard form by bringing the 4x + 1 to the left side.
7x2 - 4x - 1 = 0
We use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. The discriminant is the expression underneath the radical in the quadratic formula: b2 - 4ac.
b2 - 4ac In this case, a = 7, b = -4, and c = -1
(-4)2 - 4(7)(-1)
16 + 28 = 44
Now here are the rules for determining the nature of the roots:
(1) If the discriminant = 0, then there is one real root (this omits the ± from the quadratic formula, leaving only one possible solution)
(2) If the discriminant > 0, then there are two real roots (this keeps the ±, giving you two solutions)
(3) If the discriminant < 0, then there are two imaginary roots (this means there is a negative under the radical, making the solutions imaginary)
44 > 0, so there are two real roots
Answer: -49
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding a positive number will make the negative number smaller. I am bad at explaining:(
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The linear model represents the height, f(x), of a water balloon thrown off the roof of a building over time, x, measured in seconds: A linear model with ordered pairs at 0, 60 and 2, 75 and 4, 75 and 6, 40 and 8, 20 and 10, 0 and 12, 0 and 14, 0. The x axis is labeled Time in seconds, and the y axis is labeled Height in feet. Part A: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height increasing? (2 points) Part B: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height staying the same? (2 points) Part C: During what interval(s) of the domain is the water balloon's height decreasing the fastest? Use complete sentences to support your answer. (3 points) Part D: Use the constraints of the real-world situation to predict the height of the water balloon at 16 seconds.
Answer:
Part A:
Between 0 and 2 seconds, the height of the balloon increases from 60 feet to 75 feet at a rate of 7.5 ft/s
Part B:
Between 2 and 4 seconds, the height stays constant at 75 feet.
Part C:
Between 4 and 6 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 75 feet to 40 feet at a rate of -17.5 ft/s
Between 6 and 8 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 40 feet to 20 feet at a rate of -10 ft/s
Between 8 and 10 seconds, the height of the balloon decreases from 20 feet to 0 feet at a rate of -10 ft/s
Hence it fastest decreasing rate is -17.5 ft/s which is between 4 to 6 seconds.
Part D:
From 10 seconds, the balloon is at the ground (0 feet), it continues to remain at 0 feet even at 16 seconds.
The easiest way to think of these is to put them in terms of percentages. Obviously, if you are SAVING 25%, you are SPENDING 75%. So if she SPENDS 13.50, we can easily use the 75% in an equation. $13.50 = .75x, with x being what the shoes cost originally. The .75 indicates that she is spending 75% of what the original cost is. You don't have any examples to pick from, but this is the best way to explain what one of the equations could be. You could also base it on money saved, but the equation is not quite as neat.
