What is the value of b2 - 4ac for the following equation?

2x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

We are finding the discriminant

b^2 -4ac

2x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0​

a =2  b = -2  c = -1

(-2)^2 - 4(2)(-1)

4 +8

12

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]b^2 - 4ac= 12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard quadratic equation :

                   [tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]

Given equation :

                  [tex]2x^2 - 2x - 1 = 0[/tex]

From the given equation , a = 2, b = -2 , c = -1

Therefore,

              [tex]b^2 - 4ac= ( -2)^2 - ( 4 \times 2 \times (-1))[/tex]

                          [tex]=4 + 8 = 12[/tex]

There is not enough information to guarantee the lines are perpendicular.

No, we can not say that AB and CD are perpendicular from the information given.

What are perpendicular line?

Two geometric objects are perpendicular if their intersection forms right angles at the point of intersection called a foot.

The condition of perpendicularity may be represented graphically using the perpendicular symbol, ⟂.

Given that a triangle ABC, divided into two triangles by a line DC, also

angle DAC and DBC are congruent,

From the given information we can not conclude any relation between both triangles,

Hence, we can not say that AB ⊥ CD

Write a polynomial of least degree with roots 1 and 2.

Answers

Answer:

f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the roots of this polynomial are 1 and 2, the corresponding factors are (x - 1) and (x - 2).  Multiplying, we get

f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 2) = x^2 - 3x + 1

The polynomial of least degree with roots 1 and 2 is f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 1.

A great white shark swims 56 feet below sea level and is 97ft from the sail boat
What is the ANGLE OF DEPRESSION from the sail boat to the shark ?? ( round the the nearest WHOLE degree )

Answers

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

We use trignometry here

Assuming that the angle created between the surface of the sea and the 56feet below line is 90 degrees.

So we use the sin rule

sin90/97 = sin x/56

multiply 56 to the other side

56*sin90/97 = sin x

sin90=1

56/97 = sin x

x= sin^-1 (56/97)

x= 35.3

A un carpintero le encargaron cambiar la forma de una mesa, de circular a cuadrada. El radio de la mesa mide 2 m y los lados del cuadrado que le encargaron deben medir 2.83 m, como se muestra en la figura. (considerar π=3.14). ¿Cuántos metros cuadrados de área tiene que eliminar para que quede la mesa cuadrada?

Answers

Answer:

4.46 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que para un círculo de radio R, el área es:

A = pi*R^2

mientras que para un cuadrado de lado L, el área es:

A = L^2

Ahora queremos calcular los metros cuadrados de área que tiene que sacar el carpintero, esto será simplemente igual a la diferencia entre el área original de la mesa (cuando es circular) y el área final de la mesa (cuando es cuadrada).

Originalmente, la mesa es circular y tiene un radio de 2m.

Entonces el área original es:

A = 3.14*(2m)^2 = 12.56 m^2

Al final, la mesa será un cuadrado de tal forma que sus lados deben medir 2.83m, entonces el área final de la mesa será:

A' = (2.83m)^2 = 8.01m^2

La diferencia nos da:

A - A' = 12.56 m^2 - 8.01m^2 = 4.46m^2

Esto nos dice que se deben eliminar 4.46 m^2 para que la mesa quede cuadrada.

Work out the total amount of sweets.

Answers

Answer:

total amount of sweets=230

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio=8:5:10

total ratio=8+5+10

Adrian=x

Charlie= x+20

Ben=1/2×(x+20)

Charlie's share

10/23×(x+20+x+(1/2×x+20))=x+20

10/23×(x+20+x+(x+20/2))=x+20

10/23×(x+20+x+x+20/2)=x+20

10/23×(2(x+20)+(2×x)+(x+20/2)/2=x+20

10/23×(2x+40+2x+x+20)/2=x+20

10/23×(2x+2x+x+40+20)/2=x+20
