What is the value of the discriminate of the quadratic equation -1=5x^2-2x

1 answer:

7 0

$\bf -1=5x^2-2x\implies 0=5x^2-2x+1
\\\\\\
\begin{array}{llccll}
0=&{{ 5}}x^2&{{ -2}}x&{{ +1}}\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}
\\\\\\
discriminant\implies b^2-4ac
\implies (-2)^2-4(5)(1)$

HELP ME PLEASE!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a right angled triangle so you use the pythagorean theory

which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

you have c and b already. c is the hypotenuse.

a^2 + 16^2 = 20^2

a^2 + 256 = 400

a^2 = 400 - 256

a^2 = 144

then you square root 144 and get..

a = 12

Find the side of a square whose diagonal is of the given measure.<br> Given = 15.2 cm

Neko [114]

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, a square's diagonal is basically the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle. a 45-45-90 triangle has a really special relationship, where the side length is x, and the diagonal is x $\sqrt{2}$ . So, the side length is 15.
