Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation given. use
following:
7x2 = 10x +8
number of solutions:
nature of solutions: (real or imaginary)
number of x intercepts:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

hello 0xxbadwolfxx0,

2.6 x 10^9 is 2,600,000,000.

1.3 x 10^2 is 130

multiplying 130 and 2,600,000,000 would simply give you 200,000,000,000.

therefore, the answer would be d. 2.0 × 10^11.

i hope i ! warm regards, mae.

the rate of change is 25
