Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is ...
b^2 -4ac = (-4)^2 -4(2)(16) = 16 -128 = -112
A negative discriminant means there are no real solutions to the equation.
_____
The complex solutions are 1±i√7.
If we assume the equation has a typographical error and is intended to be ...
2x^2 -4x -16 = 0
The solutions are x = -2 and x = 4.
Answer:
a. The slope is 5/4
b. The equation in slope and intercept form is y = 5/4·x + 12
c. The base cost of making a fruit juice is $12
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that gives the cost in dollars of making your own fruit juice is given as follows;
y - 2 = 5/4·(x + 8)
a. The slope = The coefficient of x = 5/4
The slope = 5/4
b. The equation can be presented in slope and intercept form, y = m·x + c, as follows;
y - 2 = 5/4·(x + 8)
y = 5/4·x + 10 + 2
y = 5/4·x + 12
c. The base cost of making a fruit juice = The cost added to any quantity of fruit, x made = The y-intercept, c = 12
The base cost of making a fruit juice = $12.
(a) The rate that the point 8,28 represents is 3.5 cm/s since 28/8 = 3.5
(b) The unit rate is 3.5 cm/s since the rate is constant.
(c) The two points lie on the same line and that both points results to a rate of 3.5 cm/s.<span />
