This expression is called the Discriminant, also shown as Δ.
It is equal to b² - 4ac. This is a very important part of the quadratic formula as it determines whether x will have two values, one repeated value or no real values. Here are a few examples.
a) x² - 2x - 1. a is equal to 1 since 1x² = x². b = -2, c = -1
The discriminant will be (-2)² - 4×1×-1 = 4 + 4 = 8.
Since Δ > 0, there are two x values. Graphed, the parabola sinks below the x axis.
b) x². a = 1, b = 0 (0x = 0), c = 0
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×0 = 0 - 0 = 0.
Since Δ = 0, there is only one x value. Graphed, the parabola touches the x axis at only one point.
c) x² + 1. a = 1, c = 1.
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×1 = 0 - 4 = -4
Since Δ < 0, there are no real x values. Graphed, the parabola floats above the x axis.
Hope this helps!
The larger number is 10 - x.
2(10 - x) - (-20)
20 - 2x + 20
40 - 2x
52/8 is 6.5 which is 6.5 days 15-6.5 is 8.5 and 8.5 • 8 is 68. 68+52 is the same as 15•8 so i’m pretty sure the answer is 68
This was the answer I came up with - 3.5
