Answer:

k = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation Q(x)=2x^2-kx+18

To find:

Value of k = ? for which the given equation has one distinct real solution.

Solution:

The given equation is a quadratic equation.

There are always two solutions of a quadratic equation.

For the equation: ax^{2} +bx+c=0 to have one distinct solution:

b^2 - 4ac = 0

Here,

a = 2,

b = -k and

c = 18

Putting the values, we get:

(-k)^2 - 4\times 2\times 18 = 0\\\Rightarrow k^2 = 18\times 8\\\Rightarrow k^2 =144\\\Rightarrow k = 12

The equation becomes:

Q(x)=2x^2-12x+18

And the one root is:

2(x^2-6x+9 ) = 0\\\Rightarrow 2(x-3)^2=0\\\Rightarrow x = 3

<h3>Answer : </h3>

\Large \pink{\tt \dfrac{35}{36}}

<h3>Solution :</h3>

\tt \dfrac{3}{4} + \dfrac{2}{9}

By taking LCM = 4 × 9 = 36

\tt = \dfrac{3 \times 9}{4 \times 9} + \dfrac{2 \times 4}{9 \times 4}

\tt = \dfrac{27}{36} + \dfrac{8}{36}

\tt = \dfrac{27 + 8}{36}

\tt = \dfrac{35}{36}

\pink{\tt \therefore \: Answer \: is \: \dfrac{35}{36}}

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Thomas can buy 4 strands.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to round $11.86 to the nearest dollar, which is $12.

Now we ask ourselves, "how many times does 12 go into 50 without going over?"

12 × 4 = 48

12 can go into 50 4 times.

Using it's concept, the domain of the function represented by the graph is all real numbers.

<h3>What is the domain of a function?</h3>

The domain of a function is the set that contains all possible input values for the function.

In this problem, a parabola is used, which has no restriction such as an even root or a fraction, hence the domain is all real values.

Mandarinka [93]

The quotient is 0.20125.

Solution:

Divide .03220 by .16

This can be written as

$\frac{\cdot 03220}{\cdot 16}

To divide this, we first remove the decimal term.

To remove decimal in denominator multiply and divide by 100.

$\frac{\cdot 03220}{\cdot 16}\times \frac{100}{100}=\frac{3.22}{16}

Now, divide 3.22 by 16.

The quotient is 0.20125.
