Answer:
the correct answer is 6561
-2x^2 + 5x -3 =0
Find the discriminate:
In the given formula a = -2, b = 5 and c = -3
The discriminate is found using the formula b^2 - 4(ac)
Replace the letters with their values:
5^2 - 4(-2*-3)
25 - 4*6
25-24 = 1
When the discriminate is greater than or equal to 0, there are two real solutions.
The answer is c) 2
Answer:
x intercepts -sqrt(5), + sqrt(5)
y intercept -5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 -5
to find the x intercept set y=0 and solve for x
0 = x^2-5
add 5 to each side
5 = x^2
take the square root of each side
+- sqrt(5) = sqrt(x^2)
x = +-sqrt(5) there are 2 x intercepts since it is a quadratic
to find the y intercept set x=0 and solve for y
y = 0-5
y = -5
