For what values of m dose the graph of y=3x^2+7x+m have two x-intercepts?

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are for y = 0.

Put y = 0 to the equation y = 3x² + 7x + m.

Calculate the discriminant of quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0:

Δ = b² - 4ac

if Δ < 0, then an equation has no solution

if Δ = 0, then an equation has one solution

if Δ > 0, then an equation has two solution.

a = 3, b = 7, c = m

Δ = 7² - 4(3)(m) = 49 - 12m

Two x-intercepts for Δ > 0.

Solve the inequality:

          subtract 49 from both sides

         change the signs

         divide both sides by 12

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
