This is the process I would use:
Maddy's = 2x 2x+x=15
Meg's = x 3x=15
x=5
Since Maddy's is 2x, multiply the 5 times 2 and you find that Maddy has 10 stickers.
6 is the common denominator.
the discriminant b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0
13x^2-16x = x^2 -x
we need to get in it the standard form
subtract x^2 from each side
12x^2 -16x = -x
add x to each side
12x^2 -15x = 0
12x^2 -15x -0 =0
a=12 b=-15 c=0
b^2 -4ac
the discriminant = b^2
b^2 = (-15)2 = 225
Answer:
The length of line segment is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given equation of parabolas as


Firstly, we will find intersection points
we can set them equal
and then we can solve for x

Multiply all sides by 8



now, we can factor it



now, we can find y-values
At x=-1:

y=2
so, we get point as
(-1,2)
At x=3:

y=-1
so, we get point as
(3,-1)
now, we can find distance between these two points
(-1,2)
x1=-1 , y1=2
(3,-1)
x2=3 , y2=-1
now, we can find distance

now, we can plug values


So,
The length of line segment is 5
