Question 4
State the value of the discriminant of 3x2 + 8x = 2.
a) 100
b) 40
c) 88
d) 3

40

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 + 8x = 2

3x^2 + 8x - 2 = 0

D = b^2+4ac

D = 8^2+4(3)(-2)

D = 64+(-24)

D = 64-24

D = 40

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.
