add the numbers on both side by 3
4 + 3 = 7
8 + 3 = 11
rewrite the expression
7<11
that is still true
do the same by multiplying it by 2 and rewrite the inequality
- Discriminant Formula: b² - 4ac, with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant
So firstly, using our equation plug in the values into the discriminant formula and solve as such:
(-7)² - 4 × 3 × 4
49 - 48
1
So our discriminant is 1. <u>Since 1 is positive and a perfect square, this means that there are 2 real, rational solutions.</u>
Answer:
a = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a= ?
b= 3
c= 5 (c is always the hypotenuse)
*plug in given values
a^2 + 3^2 = 5^2
a^2 + 9 = 25
-9 -9
a^2 = 16
*find the square root
sqrt(a) = sqrt(16)
a = 4
