Answer:
1. D = 48, two; 2. D = -8, none; 3. D = 0, one
4.D = 81, two; 5. D = -91, none; 6. D = 49, two
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for a quadratic equation is
ax² + bx + c = 0
The quadratic formula gives the roots:
[tex]x = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}[/tex]
D is the discriminant.
It tells us the number of roots to the equation — the number of times the graph crosses the x-axis.
[tex]D = \begin{cases}\text{positive} & \quad \text{2 real solutions}\\\text{zero} & \quad \text{1 real solution}\\\text{negative} & \quad \text{0 real solutions}\\\end{cases}[/tex]
It doesn't matter if the graph opens upwards or downwards.
If D > 0, the graph crosses the x-axis at two points.
If D = 0, the graph touches the x-axis at one point.
If D < 0, the graph never reaches the x-axis.
1. x² + 6x - 3 =0
a= 1; b = 6; c= -3
D = b² - 4ac = 6² - 4×1×(-3) = 36 - 4(-3) = 36 + 12 = 48
D > 0: two real solutions
2. 3x² + 2x + 1 = 0
a = 3; b = 2; c =1
D = b² - 4ac = 2² - 4×3×1 = 4 - 12 = -8
D < 0: no real solutions
3. x² + 4x + 4 = 0
a = 1; b = 4; c =1
D = 4² - 4×1×4 = 16 - 16 = 0
D = 0: one real solution
4. 5x² + x = 4
5x² + x - 4 = 0
a = 5; b = 4; c = -4
D = 1² - 4×5×(-4) = 1 - 20(-4) = 1 - (-80) = 1 + 80 = 81
D > 0: two real solutions
5. 5x² - 3x = -5
5x² - 3x + 5= 0
a = 5; b = -3; c = 5
D = (-3)² - 4×5×5 = 9 - 100 = -91
D < 0: no real solutions
6. x² - x = 12
x² - x - 12= 0
a = 1; b = 1; c = -12
D = 1² - 4×1×(-12) = 1 - 4(-12) = 1 + 48 = 49
D > 0: two real solutions

Find x and y. Give reasons to justify your solution.
Answer:
x = 32
y = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 32 because they are vertical angles. Vertical Angles means a pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.
y = 35 because the vertical angle for y is 35 (view attached image below). Also, if we add all the angles together in the image, it comes out to a sum of 360 degrees, which is a full circle.
Answer:
x=32 degrees
y=35 degrees

Ken started a savings account for school. He plans on spending 10% of the money he earns for leisure activities. He needs to have $2,160 in the bank before he starts school. how much must he earn to have the amount needed for school?
Answer:
$2,400
Step-by-step explanation:
Ken intends to start a savings account
10% = leisure spending
This means 90% = Expenses for school
Let us represent the amount he must save as : x
Hence in other for him to have $2,160 in his savings account, the amount Ken must earn is calculated as:
90/100 × x = $2,160
Cross Multiply
90x = $2,160 × 100
x = ($2,160 × 100) ÷ 90
x =$2,400
Therefore, the amount Ken has to earn to have the amount needed for school is $2,400

this graph shows the solution to which inequality? (3,2) (-3,-6)
Answer:
y > 4/3 x - 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the equation of the dashed line:
The slope (-6-2)/(-3-3)
= -8/-6
= 4/3.
y - y1 =m(x - x1) where m = slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
y - 2= 4/3(x - 3)
y = 4/3(x - 3) + 2
y = 4/3 x - 2
As the shading is above the line the answer is
y > 4/3 x - 2.
Answer: A
Y>4/3x-2

A group of tourists can be sorted into tour boats in groups of 4 or in groups of 6. In either case, there are no empty seats. Find the number of tourists if there are more than 25 and fewer than 45.
Answer: there are 36 tourists.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, we have two integer numbers:
T, the number of tourists and S, the number of seats.
Such that, if we divide the tourists into groups of 4 and in groups of 6, we end with no empty seats.
Knowing that the number S must be an integer, and when we divide T into groups of 4 and 6 we end with no empty seats, this means that T can be divided by 4 and by 6.
This means that T is a common multiple of 4 and 6
Now, we also know that 25 < T < 45.
Then let's see which ones are the multiples of 4 between 25 and 45.
4*7 = 28
4*8 = 32
4*9 = 36
4*10 = 40
4*11 = 44.
Now, the multiples of 6 in that range are:
6*5 = 30
6*6 = 36
6*7 = 42.
You can see that 36 is a common multiple, other way to see it is:
4*9 = (2*2)*(3*3) = 2*2*3*3 = (2*3)*(2*3) = 6*6
So the numer of tourist must be 36.
Solve for b. ab+c=d
B=a+c/d
B=a/(c-d)
B=(d-c)/a
Answer:
b = (d-c)/a
Step-by-step explanation:
ab+c=d
Subtract c from each side
ab+c-c=d-c
ab = d-c
Divide by a
ab/a = (d-c)/a
b = (d-c)/a

How can her partial solution be interpreted? The equation has one solution: x = 0. The equation has one solution: x = 8. The equation has no solution. The equation has infinite solutions.
Answer:
The equation has no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
The following information is missing:
Lily begins solving the equation 4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11.
Her work is shown below.
4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11
4x – 4 – x = 3x + 15 – 11
3x – 4 = 3x + 4
This means that the equation has no solution, because if we simplify her last term, we get:
-4 = 4
wich has no sense. In other words, there is no x value which satisfy:
3x – 4 = 3x + 4

WILL REWARD BRAINIEST!!
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the biggest angle will always be opposite from the biggest side.
IT is opposite from Angle S, which we can figure out to be 180-108-25=47.
SI is opposite from Angle T, which is 41.
ST is opposite from Angle I (the whole thing). Just from looking at it, we know that it is the biggest angle. If we want to figure it out, Angle I is 180-41-72+25=92.
The smallest side is SI, then IT, then ST.
The correct order is: SI, IT, and ST.

What is the probability of rolling a dice and getting either a 1 or 2 and flipping a coin and getting a heads?
Answer:
1/3 and 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is approximately equal to 0.167
====================================================
Explanation:
A = event of getting either a 1 or 2
P(A) = probability event A occurs
P(A) = 2/6 = 1/3, since there are two ways to get "1 or 2" out of six total
B = landing on heads
P(B) = 1/2, there are two sides and only one is heads
P(A and B) = probability getting a 1 or 2 and flipping heads on a coin
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) .... only possible if A and B are independent
P(A and B) = (1/3)*(1/2)
P(A and B) = (1*1)/(3*2)
P(A and B) = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:
Natalia wants to attend Louisiana State University. One year at Louisiana State University costs approximately $24,000. She currently has $4,000 in savings. Natalia has received a one-time grant of $1,500 and an annual academic scholarship for $3,500. She plans to enroll in the work study program that will pay $12,000 annually for part-time work. How much will Natalia need to borrow in student loans in order to attend Louisiana State University for 4 years?
Answer:
He needs to borrow $28,500 to attend the University for 4 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
One year at the University costs $24,000. The total she has to pay are 4 * $24,000 = $96,000
minus the $4,000 she has in savings: $96,000 - $4,000 = $92,000
minus the $1,500 she received one time: $92,000 - $1,500 = $90,500
minus $3,500 per anual
4* $3,500 = $14,000
$90,500 - $14,000 = $76,500
minus $ 12,000 per anual
4 * $12,000 = $48,000
$76,500 - $48,00 = $28,500
