Answer:

Quadratic equation has equal roots

We know that quadratic equation has two equal roots only when the value of discriminant is equal to zero. We know that two roots of quadratic equation are equal only if discriminant is equal to zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>144</u>

So, c must be 144 to make the trinomial a perfect square.

Problem 1

The discriminant formula is

d = b^2 - 4ac

from the original expression given to us, it is in the form ax^2+bx+c with

a = k-1

b = -k

c = -k

So we have a discriminant of

d = b^2 - 4ac

d = (-k)^2 - 4(k-1)(-k)

d = k^2 + 4k(k-1)

d = k^2 + 4k^2 - 4k

d = 5k^2 - 4k

Set this equal to 0 and solve for k. We set d equal to zero because a discriminant of 0 means we have two repeated roots.

d = 0

5k^2 - 4k = 0

k(5k - 4) = 0

k = 0 or 5k-4 = 0

k = 0 or 5k = 4

k = 0 or k = 4/5

<h3>There are two possible answers here: k = 0 or k = 4/5</h3>

======================================================

Problem 2

For this problem, I'll replace every c with k

Also, I'll replace every y with x

The expression turns into (2k+3)x^2-6x+4-k

We'll use the same idea as problem 1. Match it with ax^2+bx+c to find

a = 2k+3

b = -6

c = 4-k

the discriminant is

d = b^2 - 4ac

d = (-6)^2 - 4(2k+3)(4-k)

d = 36 - 4(-2k^2 + 5k + 12)

d = 36 + 8k^2 - 20k - 48

d = 8k^2 - 20k - 12

Set this equal to zero and solve for k

8k^2 - 20k - 12 = 0

4(2k^2 - 5k - 3) = 0

2k^2 - 5k - 3 = 0

2k^2 - 6k + k - 3 = 0

(2k^2-6k) + (k-3) = 0

2k(k-3) + 1(k-3) = 0

(2k+1)(k-3) = 0

2k+1 = 0 or k-3 = 0

2k = -1 or k = 3

k = -1/2 or k = 3

We ignore k = -1/2 as the instructions state the value of c (which I changed to k) is positive.

Claire is putting up a fence around her rectangular garden. The length is four less than double the width. The perimeter is 22 f
Doss [256]

Answer:

The dimensions are 6 by 5 feet.

Length = 6 feet.

Width = 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = L

Let the width = W

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;

L = 2W - 4 ........equation 1

22 = 2L + 2W .......equation 2

Substituting the value of "L" into equation 2, we have;

22 = 2(2W - 4) + 2W

22 = 4W - 8 + 2W

22 + 8 = 6W

30 = 6W

W = 30/6

Width, W = 5 feet.

To find the length, L

Substituting the value of "W" into equation 1, we have;

L = 2W - 4

L = 2(5) - 4

L = 10-4

Length, L =6 feet

Therefore, the dimensions of the garden are 6 by 5 feet.

Solve the equation<br> 7h-5(3h-8) = 72
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

h = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

7h-5(3h-8) = 72

Distribute

7h - 15h +40 = 72

Combine like terms

-8h +40 = 72

Subtract 40 from each side

-8h+40-40 = 72-40

-8h = 32

Divide each side by -8

-8h/-8 = -32/-8

h = -4

What is 45% of 90 ?
Liula [17]

Answer:

40.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer makes sense because we know that 50% of 90 is 45.

Since 45% of 90 is 40.5, we can self-check our answer.

Hope I helped!
