8 0

Answer:

Option C

+ or - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation will have equal roots if its Discriminant is equal to zero.

the discriminant in this case is $b^{2}- 4 ac$

considering the equation,

$9x^{2} + 8xk+8 = 0$

a = 9, b= 8k, c=8

Replacing the variables in the original equation with their respective values, we will have:

$8k^{2}- 4 \times 9 \times 8=0\\64k^{2}=288\\k=\sqrt{288/64} =\sqrt{9/2}$

Note: The values of k are meant to be + or -2.12 as seen from the workings

However, these are not in the options given. the closest choice to it

is + or - 3

Irina18 [472]

Answer:all three of them achieve the sales target together in 120 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Adam and Paul an achieve the sales target of the company in 30 days, Paul and Charles In 40 days while Charles and Adam In 60 days.

Then, the number of days taken by all of them to achieve the sales target together = $\dfrac1{30}+\dfrac{1}{40}+\dfrac{1}{60}$

$=\dfrac{1}{120}$ [LCM(30,40,60)=120]

Thus, all three of them achieve the sales target together in 120 days.

Which graph shows a dilation? On a coordinate plane, 2 quadrilaterals are shown. The larger quadrilateral has points (negative 4

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

On a coordinate plane, 2 quadrilaterals are shown. The larger quadrilateral has points (negative 5, 3), (1, 3), (4, 0), (negative 2, 0). The smaller quadrilateral has points (negative 1, 0), (negative 2, 1), (0, 1), and (1, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger quadrilateral

Length of the top and bottom segments are 6 units.

Length of the left and right sides:

d = √[(-5 - (-2))² + (3 - 0)²] = √[3² + 3²] = √(2*3²) = 3√2 units

From point (-5, 3) to point (-2, 0) the slope is:

m = (3 - 0)/(-5 - (-2)) = -1

Smaller quadrilateral

Length of the top and bottom segments are 2 units.

Length of the left and right sides:

d = √[(-2 - (-1))² + (1 - 0)²] = √[1² + 1²] = √2 units

From point (-2, 1) to point (-1, 0) the slope is:

m = (1 - 0)/(-2 - (-1)) = -1

If you dilate the smaller quadrilateral by a factor of 3, you get the larger quadrilateral (they have the same slope, and 3 times length of the smaller quadrilateral is equal to the length of the larger quadrilateral).
