Mathematics

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}

Chi chi can hit The golf ball 72 yards. Rory Can hit a golf ball 24 yards. How many times further can Chi chi hit a golf ball th
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Chi chi canhit a golf ball three times further than Rory.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the distance between the two golfers, we can set up a ratio:

\frac{Chi chi Distance}{Rory Distance} = \frac{72}{24} =\frac{3}{1}

Since the distance that Chi chi can hit the ball is 3:1 the distance that Rory can hit the ball, than Chi chi can hit the golf ball three times further.  When reducing a ratio or fraction to lowest terms, you need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the same factor.  Since 72 can be evenly divided by 24, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 24 to get 3:1.
