Check the picture below.
notice, all three sides in the triangle are of different lengths, thus is an scalene triangle.
Take a look at <span>y = mx^2 – 5x – 2. This is a quadratic equation with a=m, b= -5 and c= -2. What is the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac? (-5)^2 - 4(m)(-2).
There will be 2 complex roots if this discrim. is < 0. Thus, solve
25 + 8m < 0:
Subtr. 25 from both sides: 8m < -25
Div. both sides by 8: m < -25/8
Conclusion: If m is less than -25/8, there will be no real roots (and thus, no x-intercepts). </span>
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
- Create an equation to find y: 3 =

- Calculate by adding: 3 =

- Multiply both sides of the equation by 7 : 21 = y - 2
- Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign : -y + 21 = -2
- Calculate and change signs : y = 23
y = 23
Two numbers, one being 12, are multiplied to equal 48.
Therefore, the answer is B) 12x = 48
