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.

Argelis had þhe following containers of paint leftover, 1/2 gallon, 3/4 quarts and 1/4 gallon. How many quarts of paint does arg
Lerok [7]

3.75 quarts of paint does Argelis have left with her.

<h3>What is Gallons?</h3>

A unit of volume for measuring liquids. 1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups = 128 fluid ounces.

Here, we know that,

1 gallons = 4 quarts

so, 1/2 gallons = 1/2 X 4 = 2 quarts.

and 1/4 gallons = 1/4 X 4 = 1 quarts.

Now, total paint left with Argelis = 1/2 gallons + 3/4 quarts + 1/4 gallons

                                                     =  2 quarts + 3/4 quarts + 1 quarts

                                                    = 3 quarts + 3/4 quarts

                                                    = 15/4 quarts or 3.75 quarts

Thus, 3.75 quarts of paint does Argelis have left with her.
