Answer:

a) The discriminant of the equation =  - 44

b)The nature of the roots will be imaginary.

c) x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15}  or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is 15x^{2}  = 4x -1

or, 15x^{2}  -  4x + 1   = 0

Now the discriminant (D) of a quadratic equation ax^{2}  +b x + c   = 0

D = b^{2}   -  4ac  = (-4)^{2}  -  4(15) (1)  = 16 - (60) = -44

Hence, the discriminant of the equation =  - 44

As D< 0, so the roots will be imaginary.

Now,by quadratic formula : x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}  - 4ac} }{2a}

So, here x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{D} }{2a}  = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}

So, either x = \frac{4 + \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30} or, x =  \frac{4 - \sqrt{(-44 )} }{30}

or, x = \frac{2 +\sqrt{11} i}{15}  or, x = \frac{2 - \sqrt{11} i}{15}

Type the correct answer in the box. Use a comma to separate the x- and y-coordinates of each point. The coordinates of the point
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

On a unit circle, the point that corresponds to an angle of 0^{\circ} is at position (1, \, 0).

The point that corresponds to an angle of 90^{\circ} is at position (0, \, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

On a cartesian plane, a unit circle is

  • a circle of radius 1,
  • centered at the origin (0, \, 0).

The circle crosses the x- and y-axis at four points:

  • (1, \, 0),
  • (0, \, 1),
  • (-1,\, 0), and
  • (0,\, -1).

Join a point on the circle with the origin using a segment. The "angle" here likely refers to the counter-clockwise angle between the positive x-axis and that segment.

When the angle is equal to 0^\circ, the segment overlaps with the positive x-axis. The point is on both the circle and the positive x-axis. Its coordinates would be (1, \, 0).

To locate the point with a 90^{\circ} angle, rotate the 0^\circ segment counter-clockwise by 90^{\circ}. The segment would land on the positive y-axis. In other words, the 90^{\circ}-point would be at the intersection of the positive y-axis and the circle. Its coordinates would be (0, \, 1).
