Can someone check my work for me please?
Given the trinomial 2x2 + 4x + 4, predict the type of solutions.
i think thats has 2 complex solutions
@absolutemaster
no, it has 2 real solutions
look at the determinant b^2-4ac= 4^2-4*2*4 = 16-32 = -16<0 so there are two non real solutions
oh, i got a negitive number when i did the discriminant thing
2 complex solutions you are right.....
discriminant*
you are right
if you divide by 2 X^2+2x+2=0 there are no real # if you multpily them will give you 2and if you add them will give 2
Lol how bout another one? ;)
Given the trinomial 3x2 - 6x + 5, what is the value of the discriminant? i got -24
@zzr0ck3r
6^2-4*3*5 = 36-60 = -24

Select one of the factors of 5x2 + 7x + 2. im not sure how to start this really..
5*2 = 10 we want to numbers that multiply to 10 but add to 7
what are those numbers?
we want two numbers ....*
oh 5 and 2.. wow
hehe
took me a second..
wow... that just really confused me.. btw the answers could be (5x - 2) (x + 2) (5x + 1) None of the above
ok sorry I read something wrong...
take those two numbers and expand the middle term \(5x^2+7x+2=5x^2+5x+2x+2\) right?
yes.. so x(5x+5)
or something
we factor what we can out of the first two terms \(5x^2+5x+2x+2=5x(x+1)+2x+2\) then we factor what ever we can out of the 3rd and 4th term so that we get the same thing \(5x^2+5x+2x+2=5x(x+1)+2x+2=5x(x+1)+2(x+1)\) Then we factor the \((x+1)\) out \(5x^2+5x+2x+2=5x(x+1)+2x+2=5x(x+1)+2(x+1)=(x+1)(5x+2)\)
\(5x^2+5x+2x+2=5x(x+1)+2x+2=5x(x+1)+2(x+1)=\\(x+1)(5x+2) \)
good night
thank you.. so the answer is none of the above?
