True or false? The quadratic equation 10p2 - 5p = -8 has one solution.

Answer: False

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

Explanation:

I'll use x in place of p.

The original equation 10x^2-5x = -8 becomes 10x^2-5x+8 = 0 after moving everything to one side.

Compare this to ax^2+bx+c = 0

We have

  • a = 10
  • b = -5
  • c = 8

Plug those three values into the discriminant formula below

d = b^2 - 4ac

d = (-5)^2 - 4(10)(8)

d = 25 - 40*8

d = 25 - 320

d = -295

The discriminant is negative, which means we have no real solutions. If your teacher has covered complex or imaginary numbers, then you would say that the quadratic has 2 complex roots. If your teacher hasn't covered this topic yet, then you'd simply say "no real solutions".

Either way, this quadratic doesn't have exactly one solution. That only occurs when d = 0. Therefore, the original statement is false.

Which is the simplest radical form of √52?
Zielflug [23.3K]
Short answer: 2 * sqrt(13)
Remark
There are a number of ways to look at this. I'll pick the easiest.

Step one
Factor 52 until there are no more prime factors to be used.

52 = 2 * 26
52 = 2 * 2 * 13. That's as far as you can go.

Rule
For every 2 equal prime factors, 1 of them can be taken out side of the root sign. The other one disappears.

sqrt(52) = sqrt(2*2* 13) = 2*sqrt(13)

Find segment ET. Please and thank you​
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the intersecting chord theorem:

RE*ET = UE*ES

Substitute values

21 (2x+2) = 30 (x+5)

Expand:

42x+42 = 30x + 150

transpose and simplify

42x-30x = 150 - 42

12x = 108

x = 9
