4(r - 7/2)^2 - 40 19. Use the discriminant to find the number of unique real solutions. 20. Solve with the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u still want me to explan the first part or u understand wat i did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, accidentally closed the other one. And no, I understand it. I looked over your steps. I just need help with the rest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wats the original equation again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4r^2 - 28r = -49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the discriminant is b^ - 4ac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b^2 - 4ac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, I know that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can help u with number 20 but wat i do with number 19 is a guess :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any answer is better than mine, to be honest haha. I'm trying to finish this up because I'm not feeling well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for number 19 wat i did was plug in values to get (-28)^2 - 4 (4) ( 48) and the answer u get is 0 which means that their r 0 real roots.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, looks fine to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol that's my educated guess lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha, like I said - any answer is better than mine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so on to number 20, u know how to use the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No clue :b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok but u know wat the quadratic formula looks like right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, some what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the discriminant is b^2+4ac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but how do u use it to prove the number of unique real solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my gues was for number 19 wat i did was plug in values to get (-28)^2 - 4 (4) ( 48) and the answer u get is 0 which means that their r 0 real roots. do you know for sure how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the quadratic formula is x = -b\[x=\frac{ -b \sqrt[\pm]{b ^{2}-4ac} }{ 2a }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What? haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

number 20! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know I was reading it haha!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wat u do is plug a= 4, b= -28, c= 49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so work thst out and ur done with number 20 :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alrighty, thank you for all of your help. I would've been up all night, and I need to get rest for work tomorrow haha!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok gn :)
