Answer:

One number is -1.5, and the other number is -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the requirements:

• 4a = b

• a + b = a - 6

<em>(...)</em>

<em>(thinking...)</em>

<em>(...)</em>

<em />

Okay. Let's try a = -1.5 and b = -6.

• 4(-1.5) = (-6) (that works)

• (-1.5) + (-6) = (1.5) - 6 (that works)

There you have it!

<em>(I hope...)</em>

Calculate the discriminant and use it to determine how many real-number roots the equation has.
Vladimir79 [104]
In a quadratic equation with the general formula of:

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

The discriminant is equal to b^2 - 4(a)(c). If the answer is a perfect square, then there are two real numbers. If not, then there are no real number root.

The discriminant for this equation is

(-6)^2 - 4(3)(1) = 24

Since 24 is not a perfect square, there are no real number roots.

The product of three and a squared number is twice the sum of the number and four
Mamont248 [21]
From the text of the task we can write the equation:


3 x^{2} =2(x+4)\\&#10;\\&#10;3x^2=2x+8\\&#10;\\&#10;3x^2-2x-8=0\\&#10;\\&#10;\Delta=(-2)^2-4.3.(-8)=4+96=100\\&#10;\\&#10;x=\frac{2 \pm\sqrt{100}}{2.3}=\frac{2 \pm10}{6}\\&#10;\\&#10;x_1=\frac{2-10}{6}=-\frac{8}{6}=-\frac{4}{3}\\&#10;\\&#10;x_2=\frac{2+10}{2.3}=\frac{12}{6}=2

The scatterplot shows the highway miles per gallon and city miles per gallon for 8 different car models.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

<u>The best prediction will be B) 35 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the scatterplot ,

<em>we can see that it the City MPG vs Highway MPG approximately falls on a straight line.</em>

we can either find the slope of it ( which might be a little out of syllabus ) or <em>we can extend the line connecting the maximum number of points.</em>

When we do so, We get a line as attached in the diagram.

And we extend it.

<em><u>From the graph attached we find that the value of City MPG falls somewhere in between the lines of 30 and 35</u></em><u> (</u><em><u> </u></em><u>though this is just and approximation).</u>

thus the more appropriate answer would be : 35
