Answer:

p=±8

Step-by-step explanation:

For equal roots, discriminant should be equal to 0.

Discriminant=b^2-4ac=p^2-16*4=0

p^2=(8)^2, p=8 or - 8

Roots of the equation are x=4 if p=8 and x=-4 if p=-8

Kendall is solving this inequality. x/2 + 6 > 42 What should she do first to solve?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

First, she should subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality. This makes it so that the x terms are on one side and the non-x terms are on the other side so she can then solve for x by multiplying the entire inequality by 2.

A circle has a diameter of 12 units, and its center lies on the x-axis. What could be the equation of the circle?

ycow [4]

Answer:

$x^{2} +y^{2} =36$

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle centered at (0,0) with radius r is $x^{2} +y^{2} =r^{2}$

Since your circle has diameter of 12, then its radius is 6. Then $r^{2} =36$

So a possible answer is: $x^{2} +y^{2} =36$

If you want to move the location of the center, but keep it on the x-axis, then add or subtract a number to the x, such as this:

$(x+4)^{2} +y^{2} =36$

The center of this circle would be (-4, 0) which is still on the x-axis.
