The quadratic formula, has a part we call the "discriminant" defined by the variables that are inside the square root, and is denotated by "delta":
<span>Δ=<span>b2</span>−4ac</span>
Whenever we solve a quadratic equation that is complete and we analyze the discriminant, we can get 3 scenarios:
<span>if→Δ>0<span>=></span>∃<span>x1</span>,<span>x2</span>/a<span>x2</span>+bx+c=0</span>
This just means: "if the discriminant is greater than zero, there will exist two x-intercepts"
And for the second scenario:
<span>if→Δ=0→∃<span>xo</span>/a<span>x2</span>+bx+c=0</span>
This means: "if the discriminant is equal to zero, there will be one and only one x-intercept"
And for the last scenario:
<span>if→Δ<0→∃x∉R/a<span>x2</span>+bx+c=0</span>
This means that :"if the discriminant is less than zero, there will be no x-intercepts"
So, if we take your excercise and analyze the the discriminant:
<span>3<span>x2</span>+7x+m=y</span>
we will find the values that satisfy y=0 :
<span>3<span>x2</span>+7x+m=0</span>
And we'll analyze the discriminant:
<span>Δ=<span>72</span>−4(3)(m)</span>
And we are only interested in the values that make the discriminant equal zero:
<span><span>72</span>−4(3)(m)=0</span>
All you have to do is solve for "m".
His annual salary as a pharmacist is $51,200
There are a total of 52 weeks in an year.
(a) Weekly salary = annual salary/ number of weeks = 51,200/52 = $984.62 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Howard's weekly salary to the nearest cent = $984.62
(b) His salary in first three weeks = 984.62*3 = $2,953.85
Howard's earnings during the first three weeks to the nearest cent = $2,953.85
(c) He has to pay the agency 40% of his three week salary which is = 0.4*2953.85 =1,181.54
Howard must pay to the employment agency to the nearest dollar = $1,182
Sarah's reasoning sounds good to start. She rounded the available bags and their content, so the result, 4000 bracelets, should be really easy to reach.
The exact numbers are 214 bags * 22 bracelets / bag = 4708 bracelets; so as you see, Sarah took care of having room to loose some beads and yet the beads will be enough to make 4000 bracelets.
Of course, if you want to be sure, you should ask Sarah some questions. For example:
1) What proportion of beads are normally deffective?
2) What proportion of beads are normally lost when crafting?
So, if Sarah did not take into account those proportions she migth be overestimating the number of bracelets they can make.
Answer:
15 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets find the number of miles he goes in 1 minutes.
That would be found by dividing the number of miles (12) by the number of minutes (48), so we have:
12/48 = 0.25 miles per minute
We want the speed in miles PER HOUR.
So, how many minutes are in an hour??
That is 60 mins = 1 hr
So, we need to multiply this by 60.So,
0.25 miles per minute * 60 minutes (1 hr) = 15 miles per hour
