Use the discriminate to determine the number and the nature of the solutions of the giving equation.

4x^2+12x=7

Since b^2 -4ac = 256 we have 2 real distinct root roots

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2+12x=7

We need to subtract 7 to get it in the proper form

4x^2+12x-7=7-7

4x^2+12x-7=0

The discriminant is b^2 -4ac

when the equation is ax^2 +bx+c

so a =4   b=12 and c=-7

(12)^2 - 4(4)(-7)

144 +112

256

If b^2 -4ac > 0 we have 2 real distinct roots

If b^2 -4ac = 0 we have one real root

If b^2 -4ac < 0 we have two complex root

Since b^2 -4ac = 256 we have 2 real distinct root roots

2 2/3 hours duhh silly

step-by-step explanation:

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
