The sum of the roots of the equation 1/2x^2-5/4x-3=0 is: 5/2 2 1/2
5/4 isn't one of the answer choices.
you are after the sum of the roots and not the roots themselves. Is it?
What?
no need to find the roots then add them up
You're not making any sense.
it should be: in your case it is: (5/4)/(1/2)=5/2
it is: -b/a
Ahh okay... You put something different the first time lol
yup. am now correct :)
Okay, so what about the product for the same equation?
i was surprised by your beauty
Lol well thank you. Will you help me some more please?
go ahead
product is -6
what else?
I PM'd you :-)
:)

Which of the following statements are true of the discriminant? The discriminant is b^2 – 4ac in the quadratic formula. The discriminant is the denominator in the quadratic formula. The discriminant is the radicand of the quadratic formula. The discriminant is the value under the radical in the quadratic formula. The discriminant is the value in front of the radical in the quadratic formula.
first
I know it's the first and third, but I wanted to see if there were more.
fourth also
Is that it?
yup

Will you please please please help me with another assignment? :)
ops. not now
Pleaseee. I'm begging you
it is my pleasure :)
So you will help?
i see no medals
I will post a new thread.
