The discriminant explains how many solutions the quadratic function has. It is found using this formula:
Using the formula, there are three rules. Let's say the discriminant=d:
d<0 - No solution ø
d=0 -ONLY 1 solution
d>0 -2 solutions
In the following graph, there are no solutions as the graph does not hit the x-axis at any point.
Thereafter, the discriminant MUST be less than zero. Let's view the options check which one agrees with our answer.
A - Discriminant is greater than 0, which means two solutions. This is WRONG.
B - Discriminant is less than 0, which means no solutions. CORRECT!C- Discriminant is equal to 0, which means one solution. WRONG!
Your answer is B.
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
= -5x - x = 2 + x
= -5x - x - x = 2
= x - x - x = -2/5
= -x = -2/5
= x = 2/5
Step 1
find the perimeter of a <span>single enclosure
perimeter of a square=4*b
where b is the long side of a square
area square=b</span>²
area square=2025 ft²
b²=2025-------> b=√2025-----> b=45 ft
<span>so
perimeter=4*45-------> 180 ft
step 2
</span>find the perimeter of a two individual enclosure
<span>perimeter=4*20+3*40------> 200 ft
area=20*40*2------> 1600 ft</span>²
<span>
therefore
fencing singular enclosure < fencing two individual enclosure
180 ft < 200 ft
</span>area singular enclosure > area two individual enclosure
2025 ft² > 1600 ft²<span>
the answer is the option
</span><span>a The singular enclosure would minimize cost because it requires 180 feet of fencing.</span><span>
