Answer:

- 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form

ax² + bx + c = 0 ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac

Given

3 - 4x = - 6x² ( add 6x² to both sides )

6x² - 4x + 3 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 6, b = - 4 and c = 3, thus

b² - 4ac

= (- 4)² - (4 × 6 × 3) = 16 - 72 = - 56

The discriminant of a quadratic equation is the b^2-4ac portion that the square root is taken of. If the discriminant is negative, then the function has 2 imaginary roots, if the discriminant is equal to 0, then the function has only 1 real root, and finally, if the discriminant is greater than 0, the function has 2 real roots. So let's look at the equations and see which have a positive discriminant. f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 8 6^2 - 4*1*8 36 - 32 = 4 Positive, so f(x) has 2 real roots. g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 8 4^2 - 4*1*8 16 - 32 = -16 Negative, so g(x) does not have any real roots h(x) = x^2 â€“ 12x + 32 -12^2 - 4*1*32 144 - 128 = 16 Positive, so h(x) has 2 real roots. k(x) = x^2 + 4x â€“ 1 4^2 - 4*1*(-1) 16 - (-4) = 20 Positive, so k(x) has 2 real roots. p(x) = 5x^2 + 5x + 4 5^2 - 4*5*4 25 - 80 = -55 Negative, so p(x) does not have any real roots t(x) = x^2 â€“ 2x â€“ 15 -2^2 - 4*1*(-15) 4 - (-60) = 64 Positive, so t(x) has 2 real roots.

Soup can be packaged in two different containers: a box and a cylinder. The dimensions of the box are 7.5 cm by 4.7 cm by 14.5 c

Answer: Cylinder uses less material to make.

Box holds more soup then cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area of cuboidal box =2(lw+wh+lh), l= length, w=width, h=height

Total surface area of cylinder = $2\pi r(r+h)$ where r= radius and h is height.
