Consider the trinomial $5x^2-2x-3.$

1. Find the discriminant:

$D=b^2-4ac=(-2)^2-4\cdot 5\cdot (-3)=4+60=64,\\ \\\sqrt{D}=8>0.$

2. Find the roots of given trinomial:

$x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{D}}{2a}=\dfrac{2\pm 8}{2\cdot 5}=1,-0.6.$

3. Conclusion: given trinomial has two different real roots.

melomori [17]

Answer: There is 20 ounces of liquid in the bowl after adding 8 containers of sparkling water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of ounces of cranberry juice into a punch bowl = 12 ounces

According to question, he uses a container to add sparkling water to the bowl one ounce at a time.

Let the amount of sparkling water added to the bowl be 'x'

Let the total number of ounces of liquid Marcus will have be 'y'.

So, our equation becomes,

$y=12+x$

Here, we have asked after adding 8 containers of sparkling water .

So, now, our equation becomes,

$y=12+x\\\\y=12+8\\\\y=20\ ounces$

Hence, there is 20 ounces of liquid in the bowl after adding 8 containers of sparkling water.

TravelEz sells dollars at a rate of ($1.40)/(1 euro) and buys dollars at a rate of ($1.80)/(1 euro). At the beginning of a trip,

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Sophie will get $56 in exchange.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

TravelEz sells dollars at a rate of ($1.40)/(1 euro).

And dollars they buy at a rate of ($1.80)/(1 euro).

Sophie exchanged $540 to get 300 euros, at the beginning of trip.

And, she is left with 40 euros at the end of trip.

So exchanges the euros back to dollars.

Now, to find the dollars Sophie will get in exchange.

Let the dollars Sophie will get in exchange be $x.$

The rate at which TravelEz sells dollars = $\frac{\$1.40}{1\ euro}$

Number of euros Sophie is left with = $40.$

Now, to get the dollars she will get we set proportion:

As, $\$1.40$ is equivalent $1\ euro$ .

So, $x$ is equivalent to $40\ euros$ .

Thus,

$\frac{1.40}{1} =\frac{x}{40}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$56=x$

$x=\$56.$

Therefore, Sophie will get $56 in exchange.
