f(x) = -4x2 + 12x – 9
What is the value of the discriminant of f?
How many x-intercepts does the graph of f have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]D = 0[/tex]

The graph has 1 x-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(x) = -4x^2 + 12x - 9[/tex]

Required

- Discriminant of f

- Number of x intercepts

Let D represent the discriminant;

D is calculated as thus

[tex]D = b^2 - 4ac[/tex]

Where a, b and c are derived from the following general format;

[tex]f(x) = ax^2 + bx +c[/tex]

By comparing [tex]f(x) = ax^2 + bx +c[/tex] with [tex]f(x) = -4x^2 + 12x - 9[/tex]

We have

[tex]f(x) = f(x)\\ax^2 = -4x^2\\bx = 12x\\c = -9[/tex]

Solving further;

[tex]a = -4\\b=12\\c=-9[/tex]

So, D can now be calculated;

[tex]D = b^2 - 4ac[/tex] becomes

[tex]D = 12^2 - 4 * -4 * -9[/tex]

[tex]D = 144 - 144[/tex]

[tex]D = 0[/tex]

Hence, the discriminant of f is 0

From the value of the discriminant, we can determine the number of x intercepts of the graph;

When D = 0, then; there exists only one x-intercept and it as calculated as thus

[tex]x = \frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

Recall that

[tex]a = -4\\b=12\\c=-9[/tex]

So, [tex]x = \frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] becomes

[tex]x = \frac{-12}{2 * -4}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-12}{-8}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{12}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x =1.5[/tex]

Betty bought two bags full of books at an annual library book sale. If she
pays a total of $12.90 for both bags, of which $0.90 is tax, how much did
each bag of books cost?

Answers

Answer:

12.90= .90+ 2x

12=2x

6=x

Each bag of books cost was $6

Answer: the answer is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Betty payed .90 cents on tax we can subtract this from the equation because we are just trying to focus on how much she spent on one bag. Now all we have left is $12. Then we would have to divide 12 by the number of bags she bought, so 2. 12 divided 2 equals 6, meaning Betty spent $6 per bag.

[tex]D = 1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]D = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 bag of potting soil

[tex]Peat Moss = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Required

What part is dirt?

The whole bag of potting soil is represented as 1;

Let P represent Peat Moss and D represented Dirt; Such that

[tex]P + D = 1[/tex]

Subtract P from both sides

[tex]P - P + D = 1 - P[/tex]

[tex]D = 1 - P[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] for P

[tex]D = 1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]D = \frac{4-1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]D = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]1 - \frac{1}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of the potting soil is Dirt

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    -3*(y-3)-(9)=0

Step by step solution :

Lt. Bartlett spent 2 hours doing push ups, 1 hour doing sprints, and 1.5 hours benching 400 lbs. What percentage of time was spent sprinting? please explain how you get the answer, I want to understand on my own and math is a struggle for me.

Answers

In total Lt. Bartlett spent 4.5 hours exercising. He spent a total of 1 hour sprinting so you would divide 1 by 4.5 to get .222 repeated hours which could be rounded to .22 I hope this helps, I’m not the best at explaining things.

If Lt. Bartlett spent 2 hours doing push ups, 1 hour doing sprints, and 1.5 hours benching 400 lbs, the percentage of time he spent sprinting is 22.2%.

What is Percentage?

Percentage is simply number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

It is expressed as;

Percentage = ( Part / Whole ) × 100%

Given that;

Time spent on push ups = 2 hoursTime spent on sprints = 1 hoursTime spent on benching = 1.5 hoursPercentage of time spent sprinting P = ?

First we determine the total time.

T = tPUSHUPS + tSPRINT + t BENCHING

T = 2hrs + 1hr + 1.5hrs

T = 4.5hrs

Now, percentage of time spent sprinting P will be;

Percentage = ( Part / Whole ) × 100%

Percentage = ( tSPRINT / Total time ) × 100%

P = ( 1hr / 4.5hr ) × 100%

P = ( 0.2222 ) × 100%

P = 22.2%

Therefore, if Lt. Bartlett spent 2 hours doing push ups, 1 hour doing sprints, and 1.5 hours benching 400 lbs, the percentage of time he spent sprinting is 22.2%.

Mini golf: $10.00, batting cage: $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that 5 mini golf + 4 batting = 60, and 3 mini golf + 6 batting = 45.

Let m=mini golf price, and b=batting cage price.

Then 5m+4b=60 and 3m+6b=45.

We can multiply the first equation by 3 and second by 5 to get

15m+12b=180

15m+30b=225

Subtract the two to get -18b=-45, so b=45/18=$2.50

Then m=$10 if you substitute b back in the first equation.

Carrie and Kenny both play soccer. Kenny scored 3 times as many goals as Carrie. Together they scored 12 goals. Could Carrie have scored 2 goals? Why or why not? Yes, because 2 goals is less than the total number of goals scored. No, because 3(2) + 2 ≠ 12. Yes, because 2 goals is less than the number of goals Kenny scored. No, because 3(2) ≠ 12.

Answers

Answer:

No, because 3(2) + 2 ≠ 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. Carrie has not scored 2 goals, because 3(2) + 2 ≠ 12. The correct option is B.

What is an equation?

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given that Carrie and Kenny both play soccer. Kenny scored 3 times as many goals as Carrie. Therefore, we can write,

Number of goals scored by Carrie = x

Number of goals scored by Kenny = 3x

Now, given that Together they scored 12 goals. Therefore, the total scores can be written as,

Total score = Number of goals scored by Carrie +Number of goals scored by Kenny

12 = x + 3x

12 = 4x

x = 3

Further, the number of goals for the two can be written as,

Number of goals scored by Carrie = x = 3

Number of goals scored by Kenny = 3x = 3×3 = 9

Hence, Carrie has not scored 2 goals, because 3(2) + 2 ≠ 12.

Subtract 2 from -8 and you get -10.

-10+-6=-16

Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. The product of the two resulting integers is 80.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is the process of multiplying, therefore, adding a number to itself for the number of times stated. For example, 3 × 4 means 3 is added to itself 4 times, and vice versa for the other number.

Let the unknown integer be represented by x. Given that the sum of two consecutive integers is -15. Therefore, we can write,

x + (x+1) = -15

2x + 1 = -15

2x = -16

x = -8

Thus, the smaller integer is -9 and the larger integer is -8.

Now, If 1 is added to the smaller integer and 2 is subtracted from the larger integer.

Smaller Interger = -9 + 1 = -8

Larger Integer = -8 - 2 = -10

Further,  the product of the two resulting integers is,

Product = -8 × -10

             = 80

Hence, the product of the two resulting integers is 80.

Complete the equation that represents this description and fill in the values for the base and height of the triangle. The equation modeling the described triangle is x2 + x + = 0. The base of the triangle is meters. The height of the triangle is meters.

Answers

Answer:

A = ½ * base * height

A = ½ * x * (2x-3)

17.5 = ½ * (2x² - 3x)

35 = 2x² - 3x

0 = 2x² - 3x - 35

2x² - 3x - 35 = 0 .......... (the equation)

(2x + 7)(x - 5) = 0

2x + 7 = 0

2x = - 7

x = -7/2 = -3.5

x-5 = 0

x = 5

since we have two result of x, then we can choose the positive one x = 5

so the base is 5 m and the height is

h = (2x - 3) = 2*5 - 3 = 10-3 = 7 m
