Based on the information from the following quadratic expression, what is the exact value of the DISCRIMINANT AND which type of solutions does the parabola have ?
( **Use the calculator)
x2 - 2x - 5
A) DISCRIMINANT = - 16 (IMAGINARY solutions)
B) DISCRIMINANT =
24 (REAL solutions)
C) DISCRIMINANT =
24 (IMAGINARY solutions)
D) DISCRIMINANT =
- 16 (REAL solutions)
E) DISCRIMINANT = - 39 (IMAGINARY solutions)
F) DISCRIMINANT =
4 (REAL solutions)

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

step-by-step explanation:

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
