4 0

Answer:

Put the equation in standard form by bringing the 4x + 1 to the left side.

7x2 - 4x - 1 = 0

We use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. The discriminant is the expression underneath the radical in the quadratic formula: b2 - 4ac.

b2 - 4ac In this case, a = 7, b = -4, and c = -1

(-4)2 - 4(7)(-1)

16 + 28 = 44

Now here are the rules for determining the nature of the roots:

(1) If the discriminant = 0, then there is one real root (this omits the ± from the quadratic formula, leaving only one possible solution)

(2) If the discriminant > 0, then there are two real roots (this keeps the ±, giving you two solutions)

(3) If the discriminant < 0, then there are two imaginary roots (this means there is a negative under the radical, making the solutions imaginary)

44 > 0, so there are two real roots

What is the slope of the line that contains the point -6,-7 and -6,2
Masja [62]
We know that coordinates are labeled (x,y)
The formula to find slope is (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
So (2- (-7))/(-6-(-6) undefined because the denominator is zero. The line looks like a vertical line at x=-6

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(x) + k, look at the graph below and determine the value of k.
Anton [14]

Answer:

Given the graph f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x -2 and g(x) = \frac{1}{3}x + 3

We have to find the value of k;

Since, g(x) = f(x) +k

\frac{1}{3}x+3 = \frac{1}{3}x-2 +k

Subtract \frac{1}{3}x from both sides we get;

3 = -2 +k

Add 2 to both sides we get;

3+2 = -2 +k +2

Simplify:

5 = k

or

k = 5

Therefore, the value of k = 5
