Anderson uses the discriminant to correctly find the number of real solutions of the quadratic equation 1/2x2 + 4x + 8 = 0. Whic

h explanation could Anderson provide?
The equation has no real number solutions because the discriminant is 0.
The equation has one real number solution because the discriminant is 0.
The equation has no real number solutions because the discriminant is less than 0.
The equation has two real number solutions because the discriminant is greater than 0.

Answer:

b) The equation has one real number solution because the discriminant is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation y = 1/2x^2 + 4x + 8

Here a = 1/2, b = 4 and c = 8

discriminant d = b^2 - 4ac

d = (4)^2 - 4*1/2*8

d = 16 - 2* 8

d = 16 - 16

d = 0

If the discriminant is 0, there is one real number solution.

Therefore, answer is b) The equation has one real number solution because the discriminant is 0.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

Let's actually solve this problem:

<span>1/2x2 + 4x + 8 = 0 has coefficients  a = 1/2, b = 4 and  c = 8

Thus, the discriminant is   b^2 - 4ac, or (4)^2 - 4(1/2)(8)  =  16 - 16 = 0

When the discriminant is zero, as it is here, the quadratic equation has two real, equal roots (solutions).</span>

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

(2x + 9)(3-z) = 0  means : 2x+9=0 or 3-z=0

x= -9/2  or  z=3

Lila flies a drone in the direction of 90° towards Avery. Once she gets to Avery she changes course and flies in the direction o
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

X = 13.13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between Lila and Mark be x.

Let the distance between Avery and lila be A= 20

Let the distance between Avery and Mark be B= 30

Angle x = 200-180=20°

To solve this question we will use the cosine formula which is

X² = A²+ B² -2ABcosx

X²= 20² + 30² -2(20)(30)cos20

X²=1300-1127.6

X²= 172.4

X= 13.13

Can u find the area of these please
Schach [20]
Area of a rectangle can be calculated by multiplying the length by the height.
So:

l x w
3 x 13
39 cm squared

Area of a triangle can be calculated by multiply the length by the height and dividing by two. So:

1/2 x l x w
1/2 x 10 x 8
40 m squared
